This training supports the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). The community service activity follows the UNJ Community Service Strategic Plan (PPM Renstra) 2021–2025, focusing on education and environmental initiatives.

Results showed that participants increased their awareness of health and hygiene, which improved the quality of their entrepreneurial products. The training included material on personal hygiene in entrepreneurship, with educational posters as the output. Evaluation was done using questionnaires, with data analyzed descriptively. Expected outcomes include the publication of an article, mass media exposure, YouTube video, partnership recognition, intellectual property rights registration, educational posters, and a profile of personal hygiene education for the school community in canteen management.

The development of financial technology (fintech) in the digital era has made it easier for young people, particularly students, to access investment services through applications such as Bibit, Ajaib, Pluang, and Bareksa. The increasing number of young investors has not been fully aligned with the quality of investment decision-making, which is still influenced by low financial literacy, social media promotion, and the availability of financial education features on digital platforms. This study aims to analyze the influence of financial education features and social media promotion on student investment behavior, with financial literacy as a moderating variable. The primary theory used is the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991), supported by Financial Literacy Theory, Uses and Gratification Theory, and the Technology Acceptance Model. The research method uses a quantitative approach with a population of student users of the Bibit application in Bali. The independent variables in this study include financial education features and social media promotion, while the dependent variable is investment behavior, while financial literacy is positioned as a moderating variable. The results of this study are expected to provide theoretical contributions to the development of management studies, digital marketing, and behavioral finance, as well as practical benefits for investment application developers, educational institutions, and students in fostering rational, intelligent, and sustainable investment behavior in the digital era.

Validation from design and cultural experts shows a very high level of feasibility, supported by positive responses from student users at the Dvipantara Samskrtam Foundation. This research makes a real contribution to the preservation of traditional scripts through a digital educational approach that is adaptive to the learning needs of today's teenagers.

By integrating technology in learning, it is hoped that the preservation of Indonesian culture can go hand in hand with the progress of the times.

Waste management has become an increasingly complex environmental issue, particularly in urban areas and densely populated settlements. The lack of public awareness in disposing of waste properly has caused numerous negative impacts, including soil and water pollution, flooding due to clogged drainage systems, reduced environmental aesthetics, and the spread of infectious diseases. These conditions indicate that the waste problem is not merely a technical issue of collection and disposal, but also strongly related to people’s behavior and environmental awareness. Therefore, a simple, practical, and effective approach is required to encourage behavioral change in daily life. One alternative solution is through visual education by using waste signboards that display educational and persuasive messages. These signboards are installed in strategic locations to serve as direct reminders for residents to care more about environmental cleanliness. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of waste education signboards in improving community understanding and discipline in waste disposal practices. The methods applied included counseling sessions, participatory discussions with residents, designing communicative and attractive signboards, and installing them in high-traffic areas such as main roads, schools, worship places, and public spaces. The results of the activity indicated an increase in public knowledge regarding the impacts of waste, active participation in maintaining cleanliness, and a significant reduction in littering behavior around the areas where the signboards were installed. Furthermore, residents gave positive feedback and expressed their willingness to expand the initiative by adding more signboards in other locations as part of sustainable action. In conclusion, educational signboards proved to be an effective, low-cost, and practical medium to raise community awareness. Beyond delivering environmental messages, the signboards also helped strengthen collective commitment among residents to create a clean, healthy, and sustainable living environment.
