The website features the school's profile, programs, and news, supporting digital transformation and information dissemination. This activity aims to increase the school's visibility in the digital era and strengthen communication with the community. This program also serves as a model for implementing digitalization for similar educational institutions. The development is expected to facilitate access to information for prospective students and the wider community.

The initiation of community-based development requires innovative ideas from sustainable actors, such as university students, who serve as educated and productive agents of change. Through this approach, the KKN SDGs UPN “Veteran” Jawa Timur Period II, Group 16, aims to empower the community of RW 08, Pucang Sewu Subdistrict, using a comprehensive framework to ensure that the program is implemented with a clear structure and objectives. The program focuses on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) No. 8, Decent Work and Economic Growth, and No. 11, Sustainable Cities and Communities. These goals are selected due to their interconnection in promoting economic sustainability, community engagement, and environmental preservation for long-term well-being. The implementation of these principles is reflected in the community empowerment program through the revitalization of hydroponic systems for cultivating pakcoy and training on processing harvested crops. Pakcoy is chosen as the main commodity due to its relatively easy cultivation process and promising economic value. This initiative also encourages public awareness of food security and urban farming as a means of improving environmental management. The crop processing activity introduces pakcoy-based vegetable nuggets as an alternative healthy food source rich in fiber and low in allergens. The empowerment initiative is based on the capacity-building framework introduced by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in 2017, which includes six pillars: stakeholder engagement, capability gap identification, goal setting, program formulation, capacity integration and progress analysis, and evaluation of community capability enhancement

This Community Service (PKM) activity was carried out in Alur Cucur village, Aceh Tamiang Regency, an area with great potential for cocoa commodity development. However, local farmers still face various obstacles, such as limited market access, low cocoa bean selling prices, and the lack of processed product innovation. Through this program, the PKM Team of the Cut Nyak Dhien University of Science provided assistance to the Buloh Tamiang Farmers Group to increase the added value of cocoa beans through training in chocolate making, packaging, and digital marketing. The implementation method included an initial survey, socialization, production training, packaging technique assistance, and monitoring and evaluation. In addition, partners received production equipment that can be used to support business sustainability. The results of the activity showed an increase in partners' skills and knowledge in the process of processing cocoa into chocolate bars and powder, including an understanding of the manufacturing process, as well as hygienic and attractive packaging techniques with aluminum foil. Partners' understanding of promotion through digital media such as WhatsApp Groups, Instagram, and other digital platforms, also increase. This program successfully increased partners' motivation and independence in developing cocoa processing businesses. Going forward, follow-up measures in the form of further training, product innovation, and expansion of partnership networks are needed so that the development of the local chocolate industry can be sustainable and provide a significant economic impact for the people of Aceh Tamiang.

The Youth Janger Festival for the Preservation of Banyuwangi’s Local Cultural Heritage

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The Janger performing art of Banyuwangi is a traditional cultural expression that combines dance, music, dialogue, and comedic oral performance in the Javanese language. Since the early twentieth century, Janger has served as a marker of cultural identity, a medium for moral education, and a space for social solidarity within the local community. However, over the past two decades, Janger has faced significant challenges, including a crisis of regeneration, linguistic shifts resulting from the mixture of Javanese, Osing, and Indonesian, declining performance frequency, and the commodification of art that threatens its authenticity. These conditions reflect a broader phenomenon occurring across Indonesia, where many traditional arts are pressured by modernization and globalization. Despite the rapid growth of cultural tourism in Banyuwangi—marked by major events such as Gandrung Sewu and the Banyuwangi Ethno Carnival—Janger has not gained a proportional position in cultural branding strategies. In fact, Janger holds strong potential as an authentic and educational cultural attraction, and it has been recognized as an intangible cultural heritage. The Youth Janger Festival program is proposed as a community-based cultural preservation effort aimed at revitalizing Janger through youth engagement, reinforcement of the Javanese language, and the implementation of a participatory festival, ensuring that this traditional art remains sustainable, adaptive, and rooted in Banyuwangi’s local identity.
