The Community Service Program (KKN) was implemented with the aim of fostering and enhancing the entrepreneurial spirit and skills of Junior High School (SMP) students through an Entrepreneurship Workshop at SMP PAB 23 Bandar Klippa. This program was designed using a practice-based participatory learning approach (learning by doing), which positions students as active subjects in all stages of the activity, from planning, production, to product marketing. A total of 39 seventh grade students were directly involved in this activity. Through this experiential learning process, students had the opportunity to develop creative thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving skills in a real-life setting. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in several entrepreneurial indicators, namely student self-confidence increased from 55% to 85%, communication skills from 60% to 88%, and interest in entrepreneurship from 50% to 83%. These findings prove that the practice-based learning method is effective in fostering an entrepreneurial mindset and independent character in students. Furthermore, this Community Service Program (KKN) activity demonstrates collaboration between universities and schools in implementing contextual and applicable entrepreneurship education.

In practice, partners have succeeded in forming a business digital identity, namely @rengginanghuta_ibusaliem Instagram accounts, and are able to run digital marketing starting from content processes to customer interaction. Theoretically, these findings strengthen the argument that digital literacy is an essential foundation in facing the challenges of the digital economy, where increased competitiveness is not only influenced by technical skills, but also by changes in mindset and business independence. The implication of this program is that local MSMEs now have adequate capabilities and platforms to expand market reach beyond the village boundaries.

This activity not only strengthened the critical and collaborative thinking skills of the students but also fostered an environmentally conscious attitude in line with the values of the Pancasila Student Profile. Thus, the training in making POC from noni fruit can be considered a best practice in the application of contextual learning based on ecology.

This research aims to evaluate how the optimization of the private learning system contributes to improving the understanding of Islamic values among students and the community in Peria-ria Village, Biru-Biru District, Deli Serdang Regency. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study explores how private learning methods are implemented in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) and how they impact learners’ comprehension, character development, and social awareness. Data were collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews with teachers, community leaders, and students, as well as documentation during the 2025 Independent Community Service (KKN Mandiri) program conducted by Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara. The findings show that private learning based on Islamic values effectively enhances students’ understanding of akidah, ibadah, and akhlaq in a more interactive and contextual way. The learning process encourages not only religious knowledge but also positive behavioral change, responsibility, and social solidarity within the community. Although this model requires consistent mentoring, it provides valuable insights for developing more adaptive and sustainable Islamic education strategies at the community level.

Education serves as an institutional mechanism that can accelerate the development of a nation's character. Factors influencing the decline of the Indonesian nation are the result of mental and moral decline, which occurs in both the older and younger generations, including within the government and among the wider community. These factors have resulted in the Indonesian nation experiencing setbacks in various positions in the world. To overcome this problem, the Indonesian nation needs to develop and build a life by instilling positive values ​​​​to develop good character and be able to compete with other countries in the era of globalization. Character education offers a great opportunity to implement the process of fostering and developing human beings, with education based on noble morals, namely Islamic education that integrates faith, sharia, and morals in a learning system that is based on Islamic morals and influences self-improvement. One of the advantages of Al-Islam for humanity is the creation of a comprehensive and consistent method for developing mentality, producing generations, building society and culture, and upholding the principles of glory and civilization. Child educators must continue to seek more effective methods, seeking informative educational rules in preparing children mentally and morally, scientifically, spiritually, and socially, so that children can reach perfect maturity.

This study examines the public communication strategy implemented by the broadcasting division of the Bogor City Communication and Informatics Office (Diskominfo) in producing and disseminating video content through social media as a means of public information and education. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, using observation, interviews, and document study techniques to gain an in-depth understanding of contextual communication practices. The results indicate that the public communication strategy was implemented through three main stages: pre-production, production, and post-production. In the pre-production stage, messages relevant to community needs were planned. The production stage focused on creating content that was informative, engaging, and easily understood by the audience, while the post-production stage included the dissemination and evaluation of message effectiveness. Challenges encountered included limited resources, technical issues, and sometimes suboptimal coordination between departments. However, these obstacles were overcome through teamwork, technical training, and more efficient equipment management. This study confirms that video content plays a strategic role in strengthening the relationship between the government and the community and encouraging transparency and public participation. Continuous evaluation based on audience feedback is recommended to improve the effectiveness of future communication.

This research aims to reinterpret the vision of the Protestant Batak Christian Huria (HKBP) "to be a blessing to the world" from the perspective of diakonia. This research uses a literature method with a qualitative approach through the study of theological literature, history, and church documents. The results of the study show that diakonia is the main entrance to the gospel message in the Land of Batak that brings social, educational, and health transformation to the community. However, in its development, HKBP's diakonic practice tends to be centered on church institutions and has not fully involved the active participation of congregation members. In addition, there is a tendency for service that is charitable without sustainable empowerment. Therefore, it is necessary to reinterpret the vision of HKBP by emphasizing the formation of a diaconal congregation, where all members of the congregation should be equipped and encouraged to be involved in the service of love in the community. Thus, diakonia is not only a program of the church, but a real and transformative practice of living of faith, so that the church truly becomes a blessing to the world. Furthermore, strengthening congregational capacity through contextual theological education and the development of local needs-based ministries is an important strategy in realizing a responsive and inclusive church. This approach is expected to be able to encourage the sustainability of diakonia services which not only has a short-term impact, but also builds independence and community welfare holistically.

This Community Service Program (PKM) was designed to strengthen national character and identity through the application of Asta Cita values among the residents of Rejuno Village, Karangjati District, Ngawi Regency, East Java. Conducted over two days, the program involved active participation from youth groups, community leaders, and village officials. The activities consisted of the introduction of national and civic values, interactive discussions with local figures, and group reflections aimed at formulating social commitments rooted in the Asta Cita principles. The findings show a notable increase in participants’ understanding and appreciation of the eight core values: patriotism, mutual cooperation, honesty, responsibility, hard work, discipline, tolerance, and social justice. Moreover, local wisdom and traditions—such as martial arts practices and community deliberations—were revitalized as effective tools for embedding these values within daily life.

By integrating local heritage with national ideals, the PKM successfully promoted a sense of unity, civic awareness, and moral responsibility among the people of Rejuno Village, illustrating how local culture can serve as a strong foundation for fostering national identity and integrity.

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) plays a strategic role in shaping students’ character and developing their religious potential. However, religious learning often becomes less engaging if not presented creatively. The PAI Festival (Pentas PAI) in Karangharja Village, Pagelaran District, Cianjur Regency, was implemented to explore and foster students’ religious talents and interests through Islamic-themed competitions. This program applied the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, focusing on mobilizing community religious assets such as Islamic teachers, preachers, and local religious institutions. The implementation consisted of five stages: discover, dream, design, define, and destiny. The results indicate that Pentas PAI effectively served as a medium for students to express their religious abilities, enhance enthusiasm for learning religion, and cultivate Islamic character values such as responsibility, sportsmanship, and confidence. Furthermore, the activity strengthened collaboration among schools, communities, and families in supporting religious education. By optimizing local assets and community participation, Pentas PAI successfully created an engaging and sustainable model of religious education at the village level.

This study is motivated by the challenge of economic independence for Islamic boarding schools amid the transformation of their role in the modern era. Islamic boarding schools no longer function solely as traditional Islamic educational institutions, but have also developed as centers for economic and social empowerment of the community. However, dependence on uncertain external funding sources has prompted the need to develop a sustainable economic ecosystem for Islamic boarding schools in order to strengthen the independence of these institutions. This study aims to explore the development of Islamic boarding school financing management based on economic independence. This study uses a qualitative approach, with an exploratory sequential mixed methods design. The research method uses Research and Development (R&D) with the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation (ADDIE) development model. The results of the study found that: 1) Financial management in two Islamic boarding schools has been carried out systematically through planning, funding diversification, governance, and continuous evaluation with a contextual approach. 2) The development of financial management has shifted from an administrative function to an economic independence strategy based on the integration of modern governance and Islamic boarding school values.

Parenting plays a crucial role in shaping a child's personality and religious values ​​from an early age. This study aims to examine the concept of parenting from an Islamic perspective, particularly according to the views of Imam Al-Ghazali, a prominent Islamic scholar and thinker. The method used was a literature review with a descriptive analytical and historical approach. The results show that Islamic parenting, according to Al-Ghazali, is based on the principles of monotheism, faith, and noble morals derived from the Quran and Sunnah. Al-Ghazali viewed children as a trust from Allah, born in a state of fitrah (purity) and as potential beings who are the hope of the community. Educating children must be done from an early age because childhood is a golden period that is very decisive in character formation. The parenting methods recommended by Al-Ghazali include: (1) the habituation method to shape character through continuous practice; (2) the role model method, where parents serve as direct role models for children; (3) the storytelling method to instill moral values; (4) the advice method with a compassionate approach; and (5) reward and punishment methods applied wisely. Al Ghazali's parenting concept emphasizes the importance of parents' role in creating a conducive environment for children's spiritual, moral, and social development, which not only impacts worldly life but also the afterlife. This research contributes to the idea of ​​the urgency of implementing Islamic teachings in educating and raising children in the digital era, which is full of various challenges.

School cleanliness is a fundamental aspect in creating a healthy, comfortable, and character-based learning environment. This community service activity aims to raise students’ awareness of the importance of maintaining school environmental hygiene through a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach conducted at MDTA Nurul Huda, Padamaju Village, Pagelaran District, Cianjur Regency. The activity consisted of several stages: observation, educational counseling, collaborative cleaning activities, and participatory evaluation. The results show an increased awareness among students of the importance of cleanliness, a more organized school environment, and active involvement of teachers and students in maintaining school facilities. Teachers served as role models who significantly influenced students’ clean habits. The activity also affirmed the integration of Islamic values in hygiene education, aligning with the principle of an-nadhafah minal iman (cleanliness is part of faith). Therefore, the school cleanliness education program at MDTA Nurul Huda is not merely a physical cleaning action but also a sustainable form of character education based on spiritual and social values.

This Community Service Program (PkM) arises from the significant challenges faced by Vocational High School (SMK) students in adapting to the rapid progression of the digital era and the widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI). In an environment flooded with online information, many students tend to accept and share digital content without adequately verifying its validity, leaving them susceptible to misinformation, deceptive media, and inaccurate data. Ethical risks linked to AI misuse have also surfaced, including plagiarism through automated text-generation tools, excessive reliance on chatbots without ethical consideration, and potential privacy breaches due to limited awareness of technological vulnerabilities. To respond to these issues, the PkM program adopts an educational strategy focused on critical digital literacy training and mentoring tailored for SMK students. The initiative highlights the importance of critical thinking in evaluating and validating digital information, while simultaneously promoting ethical responsibility in using AI. Through workshops, case-based simulations, group discussions, and practical content analysis, students learn to recognize digital manipulation and reflect on the social implications of AI. Expected outcomes include increased ethical digital awareness, the development of a sustainable training module, academic publications, and long-term collaboration between schools and universities, ultimately preparing students to be competent, ethical, and responsible digital citizens.

Culture is an integral part of human life that cannot be separated from daily activities. As cultured beings, human beings have a responsibility to preserve cultural heritage so that it is still understood, lived and understood by the next generation. Baobolak village, which is located in Nagawutung District, Lembata Regency, is one of the areas with Lamaholot ethnic communities that are rich in various cultures, both in the form of object and intangible culture. However, with the Times and the flow of modernization, some local cultural values began to erode and potentially forgotten by the younger generation. In an effort to preserve the culture, an effective method is needed to maintain the existence and reintroduce local culture to the wider community. One of the methods considered relevant is through cultural documentation. This study aims to document the various forms of Culture found in the village of Baobolak, both in aspects of history, tradition, and social values of the local community. The methods used in this study include semi-structured interviews, field observations, and audiovisual documentation. The result of the research is a documentary film that comprehensively describes the cultural and historical life of Baobolak Village. To measure the success rate of the documentary product, researchers conducted a survey of the younger generation in the village. Based on the survey results, as many as 81% of 21 respondents stated that they understand and re-live the culture and history of Baobolak village after watching the documentary. Thus, cultural documentation through the medium of film has proven effective as a means of cultural preservation and education for the younger generation in the midst of increasingly rapid social change

This study examines Christian ethics in responding to the moral crisis of young people in the digital era. The development of social media, algorithmic culture, and the attention economy has shaped how young people construct identity, manage desire, build relationships, and make moral decisions. The central issue explored in this study is not merely digital misconduct, such as hoaxes, cyberbullying, pornography, self-display culture, and social media addiction, but the fracture of Christian self-awareness that separates faith from everyday digital practices. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method through library research and theological-ethical analysis. The data were analyzed through thematic reduction, categorization of digital moral issues, and interpretation based on Christian ethical principles. The findings show that the digital moral crisis must be understood as a problem of identity, desire formation, and character development. Therefore, this study constructs a model of digital Christian ethics consisting of digital moral literacy, digital character discipline, digital discipleship community, and digital witness. The implication is that families, churches, and Christian educational institutions must develop systematic, contextual, and transformative digital ethics formation.
