Sukapura batik represents the local wisdom of the Tasikmalaya Regency community, showcasing their relationship with the surrounding natural and social environments. This batik has distinct characteristics, particularly in its color palette, which features dark blue, maroon, and beige tones. Despite its long history, Sukapura batik struggles to achieve the same recognition as well-known batik from regions like Cirebon, Solo, and Pekalongan. As a result, the number of batik artisans in Sukaraja has gradually declined. This research examines the communication efforts to preserve Sukapura batik and explore its growth potential. Using a qualitative method and a case study approach, the study gathers data from participants through interviews, observations, and the analysis of written documents, both online and offline. The results showed that there are differences in marketing strategies between craftsmen in Sukapura Village and Janggala Village. Sukapura Village craftsmen still rely on traditional marketing, while the Gandok Jaya Mukti Joint Business Group (KUB) utilizes exhibitions and social media. The main challenges are low digital literacy and limited capital. Sukapura batik has the potential for development, despite challenges posed by global competition. Realizing this potential depends on support from the local government in areas such as human resource development, as well as marketing and promotion through online channels. The sustainability of Sukapura batik relies on the government's and policymakers' proactive involvement to devise and implement strategies that enhance promotional and marketing endeavors, particularly those targeting the younger generation. Efforts to raise awareness of Sukapura batik require collaboration between artisans, the government, and the community. One approach is through education and training for young batik makers, as well as providing facilities to support digital marketing.

This final project report aims to explain the application of a three-act structure in writing a feature video script entitled "Bamboo Melody: Reviving a Traditional Symphony." The three-act structure is used as a narrative approach that functions to raise the issue of the fading of the angklung's sound philosophy among Generation Z. Each act plays an important role in building a structured and easily understood storyline for the audience. The first act focuses on the introduction of the angklung's philosophical meaning. In this act, the audience is invited to understand more deeply about the cultural values contained in the angklung, especially through the perspective of angklung craftsmen who have a direct relationship with the creation of this traditional musical instrument. The explanations from the craftsmen provide an overview of how the angklung is not only a musical instrument, but also a symbol of a profound philosophy of life. The second act highlights the crisis of cultural regeneration, which is a major challenge in preserving traditions. In this act, the perspective of cultural experts is introduced to provide an analysis of how the younger generation, especially Generation Z, is increasingly alienated from traditional cultural values, including the angklung. Cultural experts explain various factors that cause the angklung and other cultural values to be less familiar to the younger generation, who are more accustomed to global popular culture. The third act demonstrates concrete efforts to preserve angklung culture through testimonies from young angklung players and performances at Saung Angklung Udjo. Through this performance, the audience sees how the angklung remains relevant and can be revived by involving a younger generation that is adaptable to developments in media and technology. The story's conclusion illustrates that cultural regeneration can be achieved through a creative approach and the active involvement of the younger generation, so that the angklung's sound philosophy becomes more than just a discourse but can also contribute to social harmony relevant to the current context.

Scriptwriters play an important role in effectively conveying messages and goals to the audience. A good script is able to build a logical storyline, convey a message implicitly and explicitly, and leave a deep impression on the audience. The goal to be achieved in writing this final project report is to explain the process of writing a script using narrative techniques in a feature video. In this final project, the script writing uses narrative techniques with a descriptive approach.

The application of this narrative technique proves that a good structure in scriptwriting is able to convey the message in a video feature effectively. The screenwriter has completed the tasks and roles in making an animated video entitled Kopi Nikmat Tantangan Hidup Sehat.

Science and Technology is one of the sciences that learns about how technology develops. This science also learns about the internet that can connect one device to another. By using the internet, we can access websites to make work easier or even find a job that we are interested in. Two examples of websites that we can visit are LinkedIn and Jobstreet. LinkedIn is one of the websites where we can do self branding and add relationships with other audiences. Meanwhile, Jobstreet is one of the websites that provides such types of jobs that we can later apply to a certain place or company. These two websites are very useful for many people, especially for vocational students who after graduating will continue their journey directly in the world of work. In this counseling, we will also teach students how to make a good and correct CV and what things distinguish between an ATS CV and a creative CV. In addition, this counsling is expected to be able to add skills and insights to students related to LinkedIn and Jobstreet so that they are more familiar with using these two platforms in their daily lives. The output results that we get through the implementation of this activity are made in the form of article and poster.
