Abstract

The CED Program of Universitas Katolik Widya Mandala Surabaya aimed to empower small businesses in Ngrambe through service-learning and social entrepreneurship to address local socio-economic challenges. The program integrates academic knowledge with practical experience to promote sustainable development, community collaboration, and rural economic resilience. Using a structured methodology, participants improved their business operations by focusing on social media management and product development. The program supported 13 small businesses with 54 facilitators (9 lecturers and 36 students) from 4 institutions, which included international participants from 6 different countries. A preliminary survey identified the needs of local businesses, followed by planning and the implementation of service-learning projects. The program's impact was evaluated through targeted questionnaires. Small businesses in Ngrambe, Ngawi, benefited significantly from enhanced product packaging, creative digital marketing strategies, and business training, resulting in increased consumer interest and expanded online market reach. Meanwhile, participating students gained hands-on experience in business management and social entrepreneurship, while developing professional skills, cross-cultural collaboration, and social awareness. This collaborative initiative strengthened local businesses, fostered sustainable growth, and positively influenced the local economy and community dynamics.

Abstract

This program is designed to improve the entrepreneurial capacity, technical skills, and environmental awareness of members of the Sustainable Women Farmers Community (KWT) in Semanu, Gunung Kidul. The program was implemented through a participatory approach that involved training in melon-based product processing, green entrepreneurship education, and intensive mentoring in business management and digital marketing strategies. Participants were trained to process melons into various value-added products such as drinks, jams, and healthy snacks, while considering environmentally friendly principles and raw material efficiency. The results of the program showed significant improvements in several aspects, namely technical product processing skills (88 percent), application of green entrepreneurship principles (83 percent), business management skills (75 percent), and digital marketing strategies (65 percent). The tangible impact of this activity is seen in the formation of three small business groups after the training, which achieved a sustainability level of 72 percent. This success demonstrates that training integrated with local potential and oriented towards environmental sustainability can be an effective strategy in strengthening the economic independence of village women. Thus, this program not only provides economic benefits but also encourages the creation of a sustainable empowerment model and contributes to inclusive and resilient rural economic development.

Abstract

Museums play an important role in preserving cultural heritage; however, limited interactive media can reduce visitor engagement and understanding. The Sultan Sulaiman Badrul Alamsyah Museum faces a similar challenge, particularly the absence of digital visualization for exclusive collections that are rarely exhibited. This community service activity aims to revitalize museum collections through the use of digital technology and Augmented Reality (AR), while also strengthening the capacity of museum staff in delivering technology-based educational services. The implementation method included socialization, training, and mentoring on the use of an AR application for museum staff and students of SMAN 1 Tanjungpinang as educational users, involving a total of 25 participants. The evaluation was conducted descriptively through direct observation and simple questionnaires to assess user understanding, operational skills, and responses to the use of AR technology. The results show that eight exclusive museum collections were successfully digitized into 3D models and integrated into an Android-based AR application. After the intervention, museum staff demonstrated improved capability in operating and utilizing the AR application as an interactive educational medium. The application shows strong potential for sustainable use as part of museum services and for supporting educational activities and school visits.

Abstract

This community service program aims to strengthen the instructional leadership capacity of school principals in Semarang Tengah District, Semarang City. Recognizing the crucial role of principals in improving the quality of education, the program focused on identifying specific challenges principals face in implementing effective instructional leadership and evaluating the impact of intervention strategies. The methodology used included a series of workshops and mentoring sessions designed to equip principals with practical skills. Pre- and post-test results showed a significant increase in understanding, from 32 to 75 percent. Participants widely stated that the material was very useful (79 percent) and expressed a high interest in implementing it in their respective schools (59 percent very interested, 34 percent interested). Eighty-five percent of participants indicated a need for ongoing support and mentoring to implement effectively. The output that has been produced from this service is a self-evaluation instrument for school principals in implementing instructional leadership. These findings emphasize the importance of instructional leadership for student achievement and school improvement. The program contributed to increased understanding and readiness for practice, with a clear demand for ongoing support. Recommendations include comprehensive training by the Education Office and continued collaborative learning through the Principal Working Group.

Abstract

Pusat Konservasi Iwak Kali (PAKWALI) in Bakalan village, Pasuruan, holds significant potential for freshwater biodiversity conservation, but faces major challenges from environmental pollution, exploitation of native fish species, and limited infrastructure support. This community services program aimed to strengthen conservation efforts through community empowerment, education, and facility support. The main objectives were to raise awareness of local fish conservation, improve water quality management, and build capacity through participatory training. The program was implemented through several stages, including site assessment, installation of basic facilities such as fish nursery ponds and water quality monitoring tools, community education workshops, and post-activity evaluation. Pre- and post-test analysis showed improvements in cognitive, affective, and psychomotor dimensions. Affective scores increased from 4.25 to 4.62 (p = 0.023), indicating a statistically significant improvement in participants’ conservation attitudes. Results showed increased community understanding of freshwater ecosystems, greater awareness of the importance of native fish species, and growing motivation among participants to adopt sustainable fish farming practices. Additionally, the use of standardized recording formats and expanded partnerships with academic and environmental institutions supported the long-term sustainability of the program. The initiative demonstrates the effectiveness of local based conservation efforts in integrating ecological education with practical community-based action.
