<![CDATA[The rapid adoption of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in education requires teachers to strengthen their competencies in producing accurate, ethical, and safe learning media. This community engagement program was conducted in a secondary education institution to enhance teachers’ AI literacy and ability to apply structured prompting using the CRISP-EDU framework. The training emphasized fact-checking, credible source attribution, bias mitigation, and student data protection principles. Evaluation results demonstrate improvements across all competency dimensions: understanding of CRISP-EDU fundamentals (+42%), AI licensing and ethics (+32%), classroom AI-related standard operating procedures and risk awareness (+26%), generative AI utilization (+15%), and practical application of CRISP-EDU (+23.66%). These findings indicate a shift in teachers’ roles from passive users to critical and ethical content curators capable of producing safe and contextually appropriate AI-based learning materials.]]>

<![CDATA[Plastic waste remains a pressing environmental issue, particularly in areas with limited waste management infrastructure. This community engagement program aims to enhance environmental literacy and plastic waste management skills among students in primary and lower secondary education through an ecobrick workshop. Ecobrick—compacting non-biodegradable plastic waste into reused bottles—was selected as an educational tool due to its simplicity, practicality, and potential for reuse in building small-scale structures. The activities were conducted using a participatory approach involving demonstrations, hands-on practice, and education on plastic waste impacts, 3R principles, and sustainable waste management behaviors. The results indicate improved student understanding of environmental issues and increased ability to independently create ecobricks. Beyond promoting environmentally responsible behavior, the ecobricks produced can be collectively utilized by schools or community groups for simple infrastructure projects. This program demonstrates that practice-oriented environmental education can effectively foster sustainable plastic waste management culture among young learners.]]>

<![CDATA[The management of used cooking oil remains a serious environmental issue, as it is classified as hazardous waste that can contaminate soil and water if disposed of improperly. On the other hand, used cooking oil holds high economic potential and can be utilized through the circular economy concept to create value-added products. This community service program aimed to enhance the awareness and skills of students from the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Negeri Makassar, in processing used cooking oil into aromatherapy candles as a form of green entrepreneurship. The training was conducted through socialization, education, demonstration, and hands-on practice using purified used cooking oil mixed with stearic acid and essential oils. Evaluation results showed that 85% of participants improved their understanding of waste management and candle-making techniques, while 72% expressed interest in developing this product as a sustainable business idea supported by digital marketing. This activity successfully integrated environmental education, entrepreneurial innovation, and student empowerment through the application of circular economy principles. Therefore, the program not only provided a solution to the waste oil problem but also fostered sustainable and socially responsible entrepreneurial mindsets among students.]]>

<![CDATA[This community service activity was carried out with the aim of introducing and training the use of QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) to MSME cracker sales in Tulungagung as an alternative to a non-cash payment system. So far, the cracker sales transaction process has been carried out entirely in cash, so business actors do not have the knowledge or experience in using digital payment methods. In fact, the development of the digital economy in Indonesia shows a significant increase in the use of QR-based payments, especially in the MSME sector. Through this activity, participants were given an understanding of the basic concept of digital payments, the benefits of QRIS for small business actors, and the technical stages of its registration and use through banking applications and digital wallets. The implementation method consists of socialization, training on the practice of creating a QRIS merchant account, and transaction simulation using the devices of each participant. The results of the activity indicated that all participants were able to create a QRIS account independently, understand how to make and receive payments, and realize that the non-cash method can be a practical, safe, and efficient option for their business. This activity is the first step to increase digital financial literacy for MSME actors in the traditional food sector, as well as open up opportunities for them to be integrated into the national digital economy ecosystem.]]>

<![CDATA[In the momentum of the 2035 Demographic Bonus and the vision of Golden Indonesia 2045, there are both challenges and great opportunities for Indonesia's education system, where students are required to have soft skills, character, and critical thinking abilities. To realize this, Practitioner Lectures serve as a tangible form of practice in building teaching competence by connecting theory with direct experience from the professional or working world. This article describes the implementation of a national webinar titled “Practical Lecture: Building Teaching Competence Through Real Practice,” organized by the English Education Study Program, West Sulawesi University. This Practitioner Lecture aims to train students to become class leaders and to carry out best teaching practices using the STAR Method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). The activity was held online via the Zoom Meeting platform on August 13, 2025, featuring experienced speakers in the field of education. A total of 69 participants attended and stayed until the end of the event. The event evaluation was conducted through an online form, covering satisfaction with the material, presenters’ delivery, and relevance to participants’ academic needs. Evaluation results proved that the implementation of the practitioner lecture in building teaching competence was very successful, with the majority of participants stating a combination of engaging and easy-to-understand material, good and interactive delivery, as well as opportunities to gain valuable insights and real experience for the development of teaching skills and the professional growth of future teachers. Through this training, participants will gain a deep understanding of teaching techniques that not only emphasize material delivery but also classroom management and increasing student engagement. The expected outcome is the creation of class leaders capable of managing learning more effectively and inspiringly, supporting the achievement of optimal educational goals.]]>

<![CDATA[Work stress is a critical issue in organizations because it impacts employee psychological health and performance. Initial findings among employees of the South Sulawesi Provincial Social Service indicate moderate stress levels, necessitating psychoeducational intervention. This community service activity aims to improve stress management knowledge through interactive lectures, brainstorming, and discussions.

<![CDATA[Digital financial literacy is an important skill for micro-entrepreneurs in dealing with the development of financial technology. However, many women entrepreneurs in the Samarinda City Joint Business Group (KUBe) still have a limited understanding of online transactions, digital financial recording, and security in using financial applications. This service program aims to improve digital financial literacy for five women entrepreneurs in KUBe through hands-on practice-based training and mentoring. The method used is participatory action research, which consists of four main stages: problem identification, training implementation, mentoring, and evaluation of results. The results of the service showed a significant improvement in various aspects of digital financial literacy. Participants' understanding of financial literacy increased by 68%, while skills in using digital payment applications increased by 122%. Awareness of online transaction security also increased by 115%, and business financial records increased by 86%. This increase shows that hands-on training is effective in improving participants' skills in managing digital transactions. The sustainability of this program is realized by the formation of a digital community to support participants in applying financial technology consistently. The results of this service are expected to be a model for other women's business groups in increasing economic independence through the use of digital financial technology. With increased digital financial literacy, women entrepreneurs can optimize online transactions, expand markets, and improve their economic welfare.]]>
