The limited competence of Junior High School (SMP) teachers in Magelang City in developing contextual textbooks is a key issue hindering the achievement of locally relevant learning. Teachers primarily rely on commercial textbooks that often lack accommodation for specific regional issues and lack guidelines for independent writing. This community service aimed to enhance the knowledge and skills of SMP teachers in Magelang City in compiling textbooks that meet the standards of the Merdeka Curriculum and include local content. The method employed was participatory training combined with blended mentoring over six weeks, involving 30 teachers from five schools representing various general subjects. The implementation began with a theoretical workshop on standard textbook structure, followed by intensive mentoring sessions. The results indicate a significant increase in participants' understanding of the textbook framework, with 90% of teachers independently capable of creating concept maps and chapter outlines. Crucially, 75% of participants successfully produced at least one draft chapter of a textbook rich in local content (history, culture, and geography of Magelang). This success not only increases the professional capacity of teachers but also directly impacts the availability of more relevant and specific learning resources for students, supporting the contextual implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum.

Students as agents of change play an important role in the process of community development, not only in the academic environment but also in responding to various social issues. Community service is part of the Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi (Three Pillars of Higher Education), which emphasizes the application of knowledge while improving the social, spiritual, and economic quality of society. This study explores the implementation of the “Student Service: Al-Qur'an Generation, Literacy, and Economic Independence” program in Merambung Village, Tangkit Hamlet. This program focuses on three main aspects, namely strengthening religious education through Al-Qur'an teaching at the Al-Qur'an Education Park (TPA), improving basic literacy through guidance in reading, writing, and arithmetic, and empowering the local economy through assistance for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The Participatory Action Research (PAR) method was used, actively involving the community in every stage of the program's implementation. The results of the study showed a significant increase in the ability to read the Qur'an and the application of spiritual values, an increase in interest and skills in basic literacy, and an increase in the competitiveness and independence of MSME actors through training and the use of promotional media. In addition to providing direct benefits to the community, this program also helped develop students' capacity in the application of knowledge, social empathy, and leadership competencies.

The lack of knowledge among students in reading cursive letters and copying simple sentences into cursive letters has led to low writing skills in second-grade students at SD Negeri 11 Bahagia. This indicates the importance of implementing an approach that can enhance their writing skills. One alternative that can be implemented is the use of card media. Card media is considered effective because it provides visual stimulation that helps students recognize and correctly write cursive letters. This study aims to improve students' ability to write cursive letters through the use of card media in Indonesian language lessons. The research method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR), which allows for direct evaluation in each learning cycle. The subjects of this study are second-grade students at SD Negeri 11 Bahagia Panti. Before the action was implemented, the average score of students in the pre-action activities was 60, indicating the need for improvement. In the first cycle, the average score increased to 75, with a completion percentage of 55%. Although there was an improvement, it did not yet reach the expected target. After continuing to the second cycle, the students' average score further increased to 81.2, with a completion percentage reaching 84%. This shows that the use of card media successfully improved students' writing skills and that the target set had been achieved. Therefore, this study concludes that the use of card media can significantly improve students' learning outcomes in writing cursive letters.

The silver craft center in Sukawati District, Gianyar Regency, Bali faces significant challenges related to product marketing in the digital era. A heavy reliance on offline sales through exhibitions and tourists has resulted in slim profit margins for artisans, making their economic conditions highly vulnerable to fluctuations in visitor numbers. Additionally, silver artisans face difficulties in managing digital marketing, including limitations in writing attractive product descriptions, lack of understanding of product photography, and insufficient skills in managing social media and online stores. This situation adversely affects market reach, especially for international consumers who cannot access these products directly. To address these issues, the Japanese Literature Study Program at Mahasaraswati University Denpasar collaborated with Shitennoji University, Osaka, to conduct a community service program focused on mentoring digital marketing for silver craft products targeting the Japanese market, particularly with Yanyan Silver, one of the cooperative partners. The community service activities lasted for two months, beginning with observation and situation analysis on June 14, 2025, and concluding with evaluation at the end of August 2025. The Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach enabled active participation from artisans in every stage of the activity, from problem identification, planning, implementation, to evaluation. This approach ensures that the solutions produced are tailored to local needs and context. The marketing strategy employed used an integrated marketing mix covering product, price, promotion, and distribution through digital platforms. This facilitated easier customer access in Japan and enhanced Yanyan Silver’s brand awareness. These efforts positively impacted expanding market reach, improving the economic stability of artisans, and strengthening the competitiveness of silver craft products internationally, especially in the Japanese market.
