Aksara untuk Desa, Karya untuk Bangsa: Strategi Penguatan Literasi Masyarakat Kubangsari-Cilegon
Keywords:
Literasi desa, Best Practice, Pemberdayaan Desa, Pengabdian Masyarakat, SDGsAbstract
Literacy culture in villages still faces challenges in the form of limited
access to reading materials, low motivation to read among children, and a
lack of sustainable programs. To address these issues, a Village Literacy
Appreciation activity was carried out as a community-based empowerment
effort. This activity was not merely ceremonial, but was designed to
integrate reading, writing, art, and culture in order to create a multimodal
literacy space tailored to the needs of children in the digital age. The
methods used are participatory, collaborative, and contextual approaches.
The results show that literacy is more effectively fostered through socio-
cultural approaches and the integration of fun activities such as storytelling
competitions, creative writing, and art performances. Children are more
motivated, while multi-stakeholder collaboration—involving village
governments, schools, literacy communities, local writers, and sponsors—
has proven to be the key to sustainability. The main challenge is program
continuity, especially after the students' community service program ends.
Conclusion The Village Literacy Appreciation program can be used as a
best practice model for community-based literacy strengthening. This
program is relevant, inclusive, and has the potential to be replicated to
strengthen the village literacy ecosystem in a sustainable manner in
Indonesia.
