Abstract

Low selling prices of fresh milk and the rejection of substandard milk by the Milk Processing Industry have reduced the income of dairy groups in Gunungpati, Semarang, and caused environmental problems due to milk disposal. This community service program aimed to increase the economic value of fresh milk through diversification into yogurt products. The program involved entrepreneurship motivation, assembly of a milk pasteurization unit, provision of a yogurt incubator, and hands-on yogurt production training for 20 members of a dairy processing group. The activity emphasized appropriate technology application and skill development to enable independent household-scale production. Results showed improved technical competence in yogurt processing, increased entrepreneurial motivation, and initial product trials for market testing. Fresh milk diversification into yogurt provides an alternative strategy to enhance income, reduce environmental waste, and strengthen community-based dairy business sustainability.

Abstract

Organic waste management in schools remains a persistent environmental challenge that affects hygiene, air quality, and the overall learning climate. In many schools, organic waste is still burned or buried, reflecting limited ecological literacy and insufficient technical capacity to convert waste into productive resources. At the same time, the integration of entrepreneurship education within science learning remains underdeveloped. This community service programme introduced a school-based organic waste management innovation through the P4-E approach (Training, Practice Implementation, Marketing, and Evaluation) to develop greenpreneurship among science teachers and students. The programme involved 50 participants from the Science Teachers’ Working Group (MGMP IPA) and SMP Negeri 1 Slawi, Tegal Regency. Activities included EM-4 biofermentation compost training, practical compost production and packaging, digital marketing development, and financial management mentoring. Findings indicate substantial improvement in ecological awareness, technical composting skills, and entrepreneurial capacity. Participants demonstrated the ability to produce market-ready compost products and implement digital promotion strategies. The P4-E approach functioned as an integrative empowerment model that linked science education, environmental action, and entrepreneurship development. The programme contributes to advancing SDGs 4, 8, 12, and 13 by institutionalizing sustainable waste management practices within the school context.

Abstract

Household organic waste in urban settlements remains a persistent environmental challenge due to limited community-based processing systems and low levels of waste valorization. Many waste management initiatives are still activity-oriented and lack an integrated participatory circular framework that connects environmental, economic, and social dimensions. This community engagement program aimed to develop a Participatory Circular Community Model through the conversion of household organic waste into biofertilizer and Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) feed production in Plamongansari, Semarang, Indonesia. The program applied a collaborative approach involving youth organizations and women’s community groups through structured training, hands-on practice, production mentoring, and evaluation using pre- and post-assessment instruments. Organic household waste was processed into liquid and solid biofertilizer, while carbohydrate-rich residues were utilized as substrate for Black Soldier Fly larvae cultivation. The results demonstrate significant improvements in community knowledge, technical skills, and environmental awareness, accompanied by the production of economically valuable organic fertilizer and maggot feed. The developed model illustrates how participatory circular practices can reduce household waste volume while generating micro-economic opportunities. This model offers a structured framework for sustainable urban waste management and presents strong replication potential for other urban communities seeking environmentally and economically viable waste solutions.

Abstract

The community engagement program aimed to strengthen the institutional capacity of secondary schools through a policy-synergy workshop on student violence prevention. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the program comprised policy review, institutional assessment, participatory discussion, and evaluation of reporting systems, support services, and cross-sector collaboration. The findings revealed that approximately 37% of schools maintained regular coordination with protection services, fewer than 20% operated digital reporting systems, and only 30% had integrated anti-violence education into learning activities. Schools implementing cross-sector collaboration recorded a 15–20% increase in case reporting, indicating improved accessibility and trust in reporting mechanisms. Moreover, schools with integrated counseling, psychosocial support, referral procedures, and case-management services experienced up to a 10% reduction in the risk of repeated violence. The program demonstrates that policy understanding, institutional capacity, accessible reporting mechanisms, and sustained multi-stakeholder collaboration are essential for developing safer, more inclusive, and responsive school environments.

Abstract

Waste management has become a major environmental issue in Semarang City due to population growth and rapid urban development, including in Sendangguwo Village, Tembalang District. The increasing volume of household organic waste requires sustainable management strategies to reduce waste accumulation and support environmental conservation. This community service program aimed to implement a circular economy approach through the establishment of an Organic Waste Bank and the cultivation of Hermetia illucens larvae as a form of organic waste utilization with economic value.The program was carried out in three stages: (1) socialization and education on household organic waste management through the Organic Waste Bank, (2) practical training on Hermetia illucens larvae cultivation, and (3) evaluation of program implementation. Training and mentoring methods were employed, involving the service team and partners from PT BERRSIH as resource persons and facilitators.The results showed that the program successfully established an Organic Waste Bank in Sendangguwo Village and improved community knowledge and skills in managing organic waste and cultivating larvae. The cultivated larvae can be utilized as an alternative feed source for poultry and fish, providing additional economic benefits to the community. In conclusion, the integration of an Organic Waste Bank with Hermetia illucens larvae cultivation effectively supports circular economy practices by reducing household organic waste and creating value-added products. This program contributes to environmental sustainability, community empowerment, and the development of innovative waste management practices for society.

Abstract

Local history and culture constitute essential elements that shape Indonesia's national identity. However, in reality, many young people still lack a comprehensive understanding of their local history and cultural heritage. One of the primary factors contributing to this issue is the limited literacy of younger generations regarding these subjects. Therefore, this community service initiative aimed to organize educational activities to enhance historical and local cultural literacy among vocational high school students in Semarang Regency. The program employed the expository learning method to facilitate interactive two-way discussions between facilitators and participants. The results revealed that a number of students at Al-Ittihad Vocational High School were still unfamiliar with the history and local culture of Semarang Regency, indicating the need for further educational interventions to improve their knowledge. Throughout the program, students demonstrated considerable enthusiasm by actively engaging with the presented materials and responding through critical questions and discussions. Overall, this community service activity had a positive impact on the students and contributed to improving their literacy regarding the history and local culture of Semarang Regency amid the rapid pace of globalization.

Abstract

Tlahap Village in Temanggung Regency continues to experience clean water shortages, particularly in higher-elevation areas inhabited by approximately 280 households. The SmartHydra Twin Flow system, comprising two hydraulic ram pumps and a stabilizer tube, was developed to lift water up to 190 meters without electricity or fuel. This community service program aimed to strengthen residents’ knowledge and practical skills in operating, maintaining, and repairing the system. Hybrid training was conducted on July 3, 2026, using actual discharge measurements recorded in June 2025 (133 L/s) and October 2025 (34.3 L/s at the principal intake and 1.72 L/s at the overflow). Following theoretical instruction and hands-on practice, participants could distinguish mechanical faults from seasonal reductions in water availability, select appropriate pump configurations, and perform routine maintenance and minor repairs. A local management team was also established. These outcomes strengthened community capacity to operate the system independently and support a sustainable clean water supply in Tlahap Village.

Abstract

The community engagement program implemented culture-based Contextual Teaching and Learning to strengthen the communicative competence of Indonesian for Speakers of Other Languages learners at the Indonesian Embassy in Vienna. Approximately 8–12 learners with diverse proficiency levels participated in three interactive sessions: a Maumere dance workshop, an Indonesian horror-film discussion, and a marketplace simulation followed by Indonesian cooking activities. Program outcomes were evaluated through participant observation, documentation, oral reflection, and performance-based assessment. The activities encouraged learners to use Indonesian in meaningful cultural contexts, resulting in greater participation, confidence, speaking fluency, and mastery of contextual vocabulary and expressions. Learners also demonstrated development in grammatical, sociolinguistic, discourse, and strategic competence. Despite limitations related to time, facilities, and heterogeneous proficiency levels, culture-based contextual learning created an engaging and authentic communicative environment. This facilitation model can support overseas BIPA programs while contributing to the internationalization of Indonesian and Indonesia’s cultural diplomacy.
