A Marketing Communication–Based Design of Occupational Health and Safety Campaigns in Traditional Blacksmith Communities in Mekarmaju Tourism Village
Traditional blacksmiths in the Mekarmaju Tourism Village face persistent challenges related to low awareness and limited implementation of Occupational Safety and Health (OHS) practices. Production activities are largely conducted in traditional workspaces with minimal ventilation, inadequate fire safety measures, and unstructured workflows, while occupational risks are generally considered normal and manageable through personal precautions. Previous safety interventions have shown limited effectiveness due to cultural norms, low safety literacy, and discomfort with personal protective equipment. To address these challenges, this community engagement project used a marketing communications-based approach to design an OHS campaign framework rather than directly implementing technical interventions. The methodology consisted of field observations and needs assessments, campaign strategy development, and mentoring and conceptual evaluation involving key stakeholders, including blacksmith business owners, workers, village officials, and the Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis). The resulting campaign design emphasized a family-centered narrative, positioning the craftsmen as primary breadwinners whose safety directly impacts family well-being, and used word-of-mouth communication, WhatsApp status content, and visual posters as primary channels. This study concludes that a culturally grounded and communication-driven campaign design offers a viable and contextually appropriate platform for raising OHS (Occupational Safety and Health) awareness in traditional craft communities and provides structured guidance for future implementation and impact evaluation.

According to the 2022 Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey, the prevalence of stunting among children under five decreased to 21.6%, yet this figure remains above the national target of 14% and the **WHO threshold of 20%. Children in rural areas are more vulnerable to stunting due to limited access to healthcare, inadequate parental knowledge of nutrition, poor access to nutritious food, and insufficient clean water and sanitation facilities. In East Purwokerto Subdistrict, there are 1,955 toddlers, most of whom are at risk of stunting. The Tummy Massage Training was implemented to enhance the capacity of Aisyiyah cadres in stimulating toddlers’ growth and development, providing early management for gastrointestinal issues (such as bloating, constipation, and colic), and assisting in early stunting detection. The program involved 25 Nasyiatul ‘Aisyiyah cadres through counseling sessions and hands-on training. Pre-tests and post-tests were conducted to measure knowledge improvement, showing a notable increase of around 90%. After practical demonstrations, cadres were able to perform tummy massage effectively on toddlers. This community-based intervention proved effective in improving cadres knowledge and skills in managing gastrointestinal disturbances and supporting early stunting prevention efforts. The activity highlights the importance of empowering local health volunteers through practical training as a sustainable strategy to improve child health and reduce stunting rates in vulnerable communities.

Digital Transformation: Strengthening Financial Literacy and QRIS Payment Technology for Traditional Traders Associations in Argosari Market Gunungkidul
The development of digital technology in Indonesia presents challenges for the Argosari Traditional Market Traders Association in Gunungkidul. These challenges arise from low levels of financial literacy, as the association has not yet implemented simple digital financial record-keeping on a regular basis or adopted QRIS digital payment technology. The purpose of this activity was to strengthen the association’s understanding and skills in simple digital financial record-keeping and the use of QRIS payment technology. The PKM-PM implementation method consisted of three stages. The socialization stage involved providing materials and modules to give an initial overview of the importance of financial literacy and the use of QRIS payment technology. The training stage involved direct assistance, including guidance in financial record-keeping using Microsoft Excel and the use of QRIS payment technology through the GoPay Merchant application. The evaluation stage included analysis of pre-test and post-test results, while monitoring was conducted through direct interviews two weeks after the program ended to assess its sustainability. This activity was carried out from July to November 2025 with community partners comprising 20 market traders. The results showed an increase in the community’s understanding of simple digital financial record-keeping, with the average score rising from 83 to 92.5, and in the use of QRIS payment technology, from 84 to 91. The improvement in the community’s skills was demonstrated by traders implementing both simple digital financial record-keeping and QRIS payment technology in their daily business operations.

Empowering PKK Cadres through Digital Marketing Training for Local Product Promotion to Support Stunting Prevention in Banteran Village, Banyumas Regency
The high prevalence of stunting in Banteran Village, Banyumas Regency, is closely related to limited family income and a lack of community empowerment, especially among mothers who are members of the Family Welfare Movement (PKK). Most members have potential local products, yet their marketing skills remain low, limiting their ability to utilize digital platforms to improve household income. To address this issue, a community engagement program was conducted to strengthen the digital capacity of PKK members through digital marketing training. The activity, held on July 12, 2025, at the Embung Banteran Hall, applied a participatory empowerment approach consisting of two stages: material presentation and hands-on practice. Participants were introduced to the concept of digital marketing and guided to create Shopee Affiliate accounts. The results indicated that participants showed improved digital literacy, self-confidence, and skills in promoting local products online. Moreover, the activity contributed to enhancing family economic independence and demonstrated the potential of digital empowerment as an indirect approach to stunting prevention. This program emphasizes that digital skills development among women’s community groups can be an effective strategy for sustainable community empowerment and local economic growth.

Beyond the Classroom: Leveraging International Community Service to Fortify Islamic Identity in Japanese Muslim Children
This community service focused on strengthening the Islamic character education of Muslim children within Japanese families through a series of highly interactive activities. The program was structured around practical engagement, including seminars, communal prayers, and targeted Quran recitation sessions. These components were specifically designed to deepen the children's grasp of core Islamic values and actively cultivate their religious practices. The results following the program were noteworthy. Data indicated a significant boost in the participants’ understanding of Islamic character, marked by a 30% increase in comprehension. Furthermore, there was a 25% rise in their active engagement with religious practices. Beyond the statistical improvements, a crucial, lasting outcome was the successful establishment of a supportive community network. This network now provides a vital lifeline for Muslim families in Japan, helping them navigate their daily lives while securely maintaining their cultural and religious identity. This program's success underscores its critical importance for ensuring the continued development of Islamic character among the younger generation in Japan, directly addressing the unique cultural and societal challenges they face. The findings strongly affirm that interactive and hands-on methods are essential for effective character education, pointing to a clear need for sustained support and the expansion of similar programs to benefit more Muslim families across the country.

Enhancing MSME Competitiveness through Business Legality Mentoring and Digital Transformation in Probolinggo City
Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Laweyan Village, Probolinggo City, encounter intertwined challenges in business legality and digital readiness that hinder their competitiveness and access to formal markets. This community engagement program aimed to enhance MSME competitiveness through integrated mentoring on business legality covering Business Identification Number (NIB), and Home Industry Food Permit (PIRT), and digital transformation training. Using a participatory approach, the program involved 20 MSME participants from the food, crafts, and trade sectors in structured workshops, administrative facilitation, and digital mentoring. Results showed that 80% of participants successfully registered for NIB, and 50% initiated PIRT applications. Most participants also adopted QRIS-based digital payment systems, improved product branding, and created active social media profiles for online promotion. Evaluation through pre and post-tests revealed substantial increases in legal and digital literacy, along with improved transaction efficiency and customer engagement. These outcomes demonstrate that combining legality formalization with digital empowerment effectively enhances MSME competitiveness and resilience. Sustained collaboration among academic institutions, local government, and MSME actors is recommended to ensure long-term impact and scalability.

Religious-Based Maritime Education for the Introduction of Bugis- Makassar Marine Traditions and Culture at SD 82 Pattene Maros
This community engagement program titled “Religious-Based Maritime Education for Introducing Bugis-Makassar Sea Traditions and Culture at SD 82 Pattene Maros” was conducted in response to the declining awareness of local maritime traditions among young students due to modernization and limited exposure to cultural and religious values in formal education. The community partners—teachers and students in a coastal primary school—faced challenges in integrating local maritime knowledge and spiritual values into daily learning. To address this, the team designed a participatory-educative approach by developing a thematic module combining Islamic moral teachings with Bugis-Makassar maritime traditions such as sailing, fishing, and coastal rituals. The implementation took place one week before the Haul Akbar of Tarekat Khalwatiyah Samman, a local religious event, to strengthen students’ understanding of spirituality, community solidarity, and cultural heritage. Activities included classroom learning, storytelling, field observation at coastal areas, and reflection sessions guided by teachers and community leaders. The results showed significant improvements in students’ enthusiasm, religious character, social cooperation, and ecological awareness. They demonstrated greater respect for local culture, care for the marine environment, and appreciation of their Bugis-Makassar identity. This program concludes that integrating religious and maritime education effectively preserves local wisdom while fostering moral and cultural character formation among coastal students in Indonesia.

Implementation of Character Education in the Community of Class II A Children in West Kalimantan
Character education is a system of instilling character values in school members that includes components of knowledge, awareness or willingness, and actions to implement these values toward God Almighty, human beings, and the environment. The lack of awareness to embody the values of Pancasila will lead to the degradation of the nation’s character, causing citizens to deviate from the Pancasila values that form the character of the Indonesian nation. This community service aims to understand character education based on Pancasila values through exemplary conduct and habituation. This service activity is based on a literature study or library research process. It involves providing trainings to residents of the Class IIA Juvenile Correctional Institution in West Kalimantan to obey rules, norms, customs, and laws, as well as to foster a spirit of togetherness in their environment, instill democratic attitudes among fellow residents, teach social concern, and avoid apathy, thereby forming positive character traits in them. The institution is located in Kubu Raya Regency, West Kalimantan. This activity is motivated by the obligation in the Catur Darma Perguruan Tinggi, which encourages lecturers and students to be directly involved in community service. The methods used in this program include lectures, role-playing, discussions, and question-and-answer sessions. Through this approach, it is hoped that the residents will understand the importance of character education and will later possess sufficient awareness and knowledge to actively participate in social and national life upon returning to their communities.

The Utilization of Household Waste in the Development of Organic Agriculture to Realize a Green Economy
The Community Partnership Program (PKM) was implemented to promote the realization of a green economy through the utilization of household waste as raw material for organic agriculture. The program’s partner is Jamaah Tani Muhammadiyah (JATAM), a local community group focused on sustainable farming. The activities began with training on organizational management and product management to strengthen internal capacity, followed by technical training on the use of waste-sorting equipment. The results of the program indicate an improvement in organizational capacity, particularly in task delegation, program coordination, and institutional strengthening. In addition, the organization’s output orientation became more explicit with the introduction of waste processing into economically valuable products such as compost and liquid organic fertilizer (POC). These products not only serve as inputs for organic agriculture but also carry market potential as a source of sustainable funding. Conceptually, the program integrates the principles of circular economy and sustainability, framing waste as a valuable resource. In this way, the PKM contributes on two fronts: strengthening JATAM’s institutional capacity while simultaneously creating an organic farming ecosystem that supports the green economy.
