<![CDATA[Indonesia’s cultural diversity requires Pancasila Education that strengthens national unity while recognizing local cultural identities. This study examines the effects of local wisdom–integrated Pancasila Education on cultural citizenship and social cohesion, including the mediating role of cultural citizenship. A quantitative explanatory design was employed involving 200 university students from diverse cultural backgrounds selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling through measurement model, structural model, hypothesis, and mediation testing. The findings indicate that local wisdom–integrated Pancasila Education positively strengthens cultural citizenship and social cohesion. Cultural citizenship also positively contributes to social cohesion and partially mediates the relationship between culturally contextual Pancasila learning and social cohesion. These findings demonstrate that connecting Pancasila principles with local traditions, cultural practices, and community values can promote cultural recognition, national belonging, trust, solidarity, cooperation, and inclusive interaction among students. Universities should therefore develop culturally responsive Pancasila Education through local case studies, intercultural dialogue, collaborative projects, and community-based learning.]]>
