Desak Putu Saridewi — 2026-06-15

The placenta burial tradition is one of the cultural practices in Hindu society that carries deep religious, social, and philosophical meanings. This study aims to examine the role of training in making banten ari-ari as a medium for strengthening character education based on local culture, as well as an effort to preserve tradition amid the currents of modernization. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach through observation, discussion, and documentation techniques conducted during training activities among Hindu youth. The results show that the training in making banten not only improves participants’ technical skills but also enhances their understanding of the philosophical and symbolic values embedded in the placenta burial tradition, particularly those related to the concept of Catur Sanak and the implementation of Manusa Yadnya. In addition, the training process is able to internalize character values such as religiosity, responsibility, sincerity, and respect for life through direct experience.

In the context of contemporary developments, this tradition remains relevant as a medium for character education; however, it requires adaptation to align with modern contexts without losing its essential values. Therefore, training in making banten ari-ari serves as an effective strategy for cultural preservation while simultaneously fostering the character development of young generations who are culturally grounded and spiritually aware.

The use of standard Indonesian among senior high school students continues to face challenges, particularly in spelling, diction, effective sentence construction, and paragraph development. The influence of informal language varieties, social media language, and code-mixing practices often affects students’ academic writing. This community service program aimed to strengthen students’ standard Indonesian proficiency through a Language Workshop Class at SMA Negeri Tampaksiring. The program employed a participatory training approach with four stages: pre-test, workshop implementation, module development, and post-test evaluation. The workshop was conducted in four sessions, covering (1) introduction to standard Indonesian and common errors, (2) identification of language errors in students’ own texts, (3) editing and revision practice, and (4) final text production and presentation. Data were collected through tests, observations, questionnaires, and analysis of students’ revised writing products. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ language proficiency. The average pre-test score of 61.8 increased to 83.4 in the post-test, with a gain of 21.6 points. Improvements were most evident in spelling and effective sentence construction, followed by diction and paragraph coherence. In addition, the program produced a Bengkel Bahasa module as a sustainable learning output for the school. These findings indicate that the Language Workshop Class is effective in improving students’ standard Indonesian proficiency and can serve as a practical strategy for strengthening academic literacy in secondary education.

Waste problems at the household level often stem from a lack of community knowledge in classifying waste types and a low awareness of the economic value of such waste. The background of this research is the environmental situation in Banjar Belaluan, Central Singapadu, where waste management is still carried out traditionally and without segregation. This study aims to explain the process of community empowerment through learning how to sort waste and process organic, inorganic, and residual waste into products with economic value. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative with a participatory action approach, in which researchers participated in providing technical training to the local community. The findings of this study indicate that through systematic education, the community has been able to sort waste at its source and understand the characteristics of residual waste that needs to be disposed of. Furthermore, residents have successfully processed organic waste into fertilizer and transformed inorganic waste, such as plastic, into creative crafts such as key chains and other accessories. This integration of empowerment not only impacts the environmental cleanliness of the banjar but also creates opportunities for developing a creative economy focused on waste management. People now view waste not as worthless waste, but as a valuable asset that can be transformed into a source of additional income for families through sustainable creativity and innovation.
