Abstract

This service activity is motivated by students' low understanding of the packaging of historical content into educational products with economic value, and the non-optimal integration of entrepreneurial values in history learning. The purpose of this activity is to foster the entrepreneurial spirit of students through edupreneurship developed in the form of local history-based exhibitions. The method used is a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach that involves students as active subjects in training, production, and marketing of historical products, as well as organizing exhibition activities. The activity began with training on basic edupreneur concepts, product packaging, and marketing strategies. The activity featured a variety of creative products such as traditional snacks, replicas of pinisi ships, and souvenirs with local history motifs. This activity succeeded in increasing students' capacity to think critically, innovate, and work together productively. The entrepreneurship talk show held at the same time also strengthened students' motivation and entrepreneurial insights. The results of the activity show that the history exhibition is effective as a medium for transforming contextual, applicable, and economically valuable history learning through an edupreneurship approach.

Abstract

Understanding just and unjust wars required fresh perspectives that moved beyond traditional frameworks rooted in Western thought. This study explored such perspectives through Afrofuturism, an interdisciplinary approach that combined international studies, cultural theory, and speculative fiction. The study adopted a qualitative, interdisciplinary methodology combining literary analysis, cultural theory, and international relations. It examined key Afrofuturist works—including novels by Octavia Butler and Nnedi Okorafor, music from artists like Sun Ra and Janelle Monáe, and visual art—to uncover alternative perspectives on war, resistance, and liberation. Data collection involved reviewing these creative texts alongside scholarly literature from international relations and postcolonial studies. Using thematic content analysis, the study identified recurring themes of conflict and justice in Afrofuturist narratives and compared them with traditional theories such as realism and liberalism to reveal Afrofuturism’s unique contributions. The study examined just and unjust wars through ethical, legal, and historical perspectives alongside international relations theories and postcolonial critiques. It introduced Afrofuturism to reimagine conflict and resistance, focusing on African diaspora identity, colonial legacies, and creative expressions of liberation. Emphasizing youth, cultural memory, and empathy, the research offered insights for peacebuilding and policy in international studies. The findings demonstrated Afrofuturism’s power to deepen empathy, foster cultural resilience, and inspire global citizenship, offering transformative insights into the nature of war and peace. The research ultimately called for greater inclusion of Afrofuturist perspectives within international studies education, policy development, and peacebuilding initiatives to encourage more imaginative and inclusive approaches toward conflict resolution and social justice.

Abstract

This community service activity aimed to enhance the understanding and skills of students participating in the 82nd Community Service Program (KKN) at UIN Raden Fatah Palembang in writing and publishing scientific articles based on community service activities. The activity was conducted over 22 days and involved 30 students from various academic programs. The activity employed a service-learning approach, comprising the stages of planning, implementation, evaluation, and reporting. The results of the activity showed a significant improvement in the participants’ abilities, marked by an increase in the average score from 50.6 on the pre-test to 76.4 on the post-test. Improvements occurred across all aspects, particularly in understanding article structure and the ability to organize discussions. Additionally, participants were able to produce more systematic article drafts that adhered to scientific writing guidelines. This activity also fostered greater student awareness of the importance of scientific publication as an outcome of community service activities. The activity had limitations, including the relatively short duration of the mentoring, the heterogeneity of participants’ abilities, and limited access to scientific reference sources. Therefore, it is recommended that universities develop more sustainable mentoring programs, that faculty members provide guidance through the publication stage, and that students independently improve their academic literacy. Institutional support is also needed to provide access to references and a publication monitoring system to ensure the sustainability of the program’s outcomes. This finding theoretically reinforces the concept of reflective learning. In practice, this activity improves the quality of Community Service Program (KKN) outcomes, particularly scientific publications, and can serve as a model for mentoring in community service at universities.

Abstract

The economic dynamics of the Baduy Luar community in meeting basic needs, amid the limitations of a traditional economic system based on agriculture and weaving, have encouraged the emergence of trading activities as a form of economic adaptation without abandoning the customary values that are still upheld by the community. The purpose of this activity is to analyze the economic dynamics of the Baduy Luar community from the perspective of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, as well as to provide education on digital marketing strategies as an alternative to strengthen the community’s economy. The method used in this community service activity is Participatory Action Research (PAR) with a participatory approach through observation, discussion, education, consultation, and simple assistance related to the use of digital media in product marketing. The activity was conducted over three days involving five informants who are actively engaged in trading activities. The results of the activity show that the Baduy Luar community has begun to understand the importance of digital marketing through media such as WhatsApp and online marketplaces to expand the reach of product sales. In addition, the activity indicates that the community has a relatively strong capacity for economic adaptation, as long as the changes made remain aligned with their customary values.

Abstract

Vocational education curricula in Indonesia continue to face complex structural challenges, including excessive administrative orientation, rigid centralized approaches, and limited opportunities for teachers to act as curriculum developers who are responsive to industry demands and students’ characteristics. This community service program aimed to assist teachers at SMKN 6 Surabaya in improving their curriculum design competencies through the implementation of the Taba Model based on the educational philosophy of Ki Hadjar Dewantara. The program involved 48 teachers from eight vocational departments and was conducted over two weeks using a participatory mentoring approach through theoretical workshops, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), collaborative teaching material development practices, peer review sessions, and reflective activities. The results showed a significant paradigm shift from teachers functioning merely as curriculum implementers toward becoming independent grassroots curriculum developers. In addition, teachers demonstrated improved abilities in designing teaching modules and instructional materials aligned with workplace needs, as well as integrating the values of Ki Hadjar Dewantara—Among System, freedom of learning, and the principles of Ing Ngarso Sung Tulodo, Ing Madyo Mangun Karso, and Tut Wuri Handayani—into curriculum practices. All eight vocational departments successfully produced teaching modules and instructional materials with an average quality score of 85/100. In conclusion, the collaborative mentoring program based on the Taba Model effectively transformed teachers’ perspectives and produced relevant, humanistic, and industry-oriented instructional materials.

Abstract

Ragasakti Coffee from Setianegara Village represents a local commodity with strategic value for asset-based community development. This study aims to analyze community asset potential and participation, the transformation of local potential and external support, as well as the socio-economic impacts and future expectations in the development of Ragasakti Coffee. A qualitative approach with the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) framework was employed to explore community assets participatively and to facilitate the transformation of local potential into a leading commodity. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with village officials, coffee farmers, and practitioners; participatory observation; and document studies. Data analysis applied Miles and Huberman’s model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while credibility was ensured through source and method triangulation. The findings reveal that Ragasakti Coffee possesses significant assets, including fertile land, farming skills, and social capital rooted in mutual cooperation and cultural identity. Community participation is high across the entire production chain, while transformation occurs through the integration of traditional practices with youth innovation. External support from government, universities, and the private sector strengthens development through training, technology, and promotion. Socio-economic impacts include increased household income, new business opportunities, stronger social cohesion, and greater youth involvement. The study also highlights a collective aspiration for Ragasakti Coffee to penetrate national and international markets and to serve as the basis for coffee-based tourism. In conclusion, Ragasakti Coffee functions not only as a driver of local economic growth but also as a symbol of socio-cultural identity, requiring strong community institutions and multi-stakeholder collaboration to ensure sustainability.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve teachers' competence in compiling adaptive teaching modules and implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based smart assessments for teachers of SMP Negeri 3 Medan. The problems faced by the partners include the limited competence of teachers in developing adaptive teaching modules based on differential learning and the Independent Curriculum, learning assessments that are still carried out conventionally, limited digital literacy and teachers' social readiness in utilizing AI technology, and the lack of innovation and collaboration based on digital technology in the school environment. Service activities are carried out with a participatory method through five stages, namely program socialization, training, application of learning technology, mentoring and evaluation, and program sustainability. This service activity was attended by 23 teachers of SMP Negeri 3 Medan. Training and mentoring are carried out by utilizing the Tegur application in the preparation of adaptive teaching modules and AI-based assessments. The results of the activity showed that there was an increase in teachers' understanding and skills in developing differential learning tools, conducting AI-based digital assessments, and utilizing technology to support more effective and data-based learning. Achievement indicators can be seen from the participants' activeness in asking questions and discussing, the teacher's ability to compile modules, and the use of AI applications in assessments. In addition, this activity also increases digital literacy, culture of enthusiasm, and teachers' readiness to face digital education transformation. Thus, this activity has positive implications for teachers' readiness to utilize AI technology and implement adaptive learning in schools.

Abstract

Lack of self-confidence is still one of the problems experienced by adolescents and young adults, especially in expressing themselves and showing their abilities. Some participants at LKP Yuwita still felt shy, lacked confidence in their abilities, and were afraid to use makeup due to limited understanding of basic makeup techniques. This community service activity aimed to improve participants’ self-confidence through the “Boosting Confidence through Makeup” beauty class workshop. The method used in this activity was the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach with a learning by doing method through training, demonstrations, direct practice, mentoring, and awareness activities regarding the importance of personal grooming and self-care. The activity was conducted on May 13, 2026, with 9 participants. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the beauty class workshop improved participants’ understanding of basic makeup techniques, increased their self-confidence, encouraged them to express themselves more confidently, and created an interactive and positive learning atmosphere. Therefore, the beauty class workshop can be an effective learning medium for improving makeup skills and participants’ self-confidence.

Abstract

As Islamic educational institutions, Islamic boarding schools play a vital role in shaping the community’s understanding of the fulfillment of fardhu kifayah, including the proper procedures for caring for the deceased in accordance with Islamic law. However, based on conditions on the ground, there are still gaps in the knowledge and skills of both congregants and students regarding the correct procedures for handling the deceased. This community service activity aims to improve the understanding of congregants and students regarding the care of the deceased in order to foster public awareness and preparedness in fulfilling the obligation of managing the deceased. The method used is the ABCD (Assets-Based Community Development) approach, which is based on needs for development. Data collection for this community service project was conducted through observation, interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), and documentation. The results of this community service study indicate that the congregation members’ and students’ understanding of managing the deceased has improved, particularly regarding preparing shroud materials for men and women, the positioning of the shroud, the number of ties, and the proper procedures for wrapping the body and securing the shroud in accordance with Islamic Sharia regulations. However, there were minor challenges among some elderly congregation members, resulting in less than optimal acceptance. Additionally, this program has had the added benefit of fostering collaboration between the community service team, the Islamic boarding school, and the congregation at Pesantren Al Ghazali.
