<![CDATA[The international mobility of Indonesian communities presents challenges in maintaining the cultural identity of diaspora children, particularly when their exposure to Indonesian language and culture is limited. This program aimed to strengthen the cultural identity of Indonesian diaspora children through a Community-Based Playful Learning approach. The International Community Service (PkM) program was conducted at the Indonesian School of Davao (SID), Philippines, from 27 to 31 July 2026, in collaboration with the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia (KJRI) in Davao City, Mindanao State University (MSU), and Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology (NEUST). The program involved needs identification, coordination, cultural learning workshops, traditional games, Nusantara Cultural Festival, Market Day, educational donations, evaluation, and sustainability planning. Program evaluation combined participatory observation, focus group discussions, interviews, documentation, and descriptive quantitative assessment using a five-point rubric. The results showed that all eight evaluated indicators were in the good and very good categories, with scores ranging from 4 to 5. Educational donations and strengthened institutional partnerships also supported the sustainability of cultural learning at SID. The program demonstrates the potential of Community-Based Playful Learning as an approach to integrating cultural revitalization, psychosocial support, community collaboration, and educational diplomacy in international community service.]]>
