Children living in orphanages in Indonesia still face limitations in obtaining life skills education and economic independence development.

Using a Participatory Learning and Action (PLA) approach, the program involved more than 30 participants from diverse educational backgrounds. Activities were conducted in stages through several sessions, including training in making keychains from beads, product packaging techniques, and simple promotional strategies. The results of the activities showed an increase in participants' understanding of marketing concepts, as well as the development of technical skills and entrepreneurial characteristics such as creativity, cooperation, and self-confidence. These findings demonstrate that participatory learning methods based on hands-on practice are effective in fostering entrepreneurial spirit and economic independence among orphanage children. This program also has the potential to serve as a model for community-based economic empowerment that can be applied to other vulnerable groups in society.

Peran Media Sosial dalam Membangun Opini Publik terhadap Pemimpin Politik

2025-10-28T05:13:58+00:00

The rapid growth of social media in the last five years has transformed the landscape of political communication and significantly influenced how public opinion toward political leaders is formed. Platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and X (Twitter) have become key arenas for shaping political perception through visual narratives, short-form videos, and direct engagement between leaders and citizens. Recent studies highlight that algorithmic curation plays a crucial role in selectively amplifying certain political messages, which consequently affects how users construct their political judgments. Furthermore, users’ trust in the credibility of digital sources and the level of audience engagement have been shown to strongly determine the legitimacy and public support received by political leaders. This literature-based study synthesizes findings from recent international journals to explain how social media functions not only as a space for information dissemination but also as a strategic instrument for opinion formation and image construction in the political sphere.

This research and community service activity aims to analyze the urgency of enhancing MSME branding strategies in Rempoa Village through digital literacy and banner design rebranding from the perspective of neoclassical economic theory. The method employed is a collaborative approach through the 2025 Community Service Program (KKN) Group 20 of South Tangerang, involving direct participation of MSME owners in the redesign process of their business banners. This approach focuses on improving digital literacy and implementing visual rebranding as forms of entrepreneurial innovation aligned with the principles of efficiency and human capital investment. The results indicate that improving digital literacy expands market access, increases efficiency, and strengthens entrepreneurs’ adaptability to changing consumer behavior, while banner design rebranding effectively creates product differentiation, enhances business image, and increases visual appeal—positively influencing sales and brand awareness. From a neoclassical perspective, these strategies reflect the application of economic rationality principles in achieving market equilibrium, while Schumpeter’s concept of creative destruction is evident through visual transformation that replaces outdated strategies with modern and innovative approaches. Overall, the collaboration between academics and MSME actors through this KKN program successfully generated tangible impacts in strengthening the local economy, where digital literacy and banner design rebranding serve as concrete steps toward sustainable economic development based on innovation, efficiency, and entrepreneurial independence.
