PENINGKATAN PARTISIPASI SOSIAL MASYARAKAT MELALUI SOSIALISASI PENDIDIKAN NILAI DAN TATA KELOLA PEMERINTAHAN LOKAL

Abstract

This Community Service Program (PKM) was conducted over two days with 23 participants, including local residents, youth leaders, and community figures. The first day focused on values education and awareness of social participation through interactive lectures, group discussions, and reflection sessions. The results showed that 83% of participants improved their understanding of rights, responsibilities, and social values, and 87% actively participated in discussions. The second day emphasized local government governance and citizen participation mechanisms through lectures, role-playing simulations, case studies, and the development of action plans. A total of 78% of participants were able to create concrete action plans, and 87% understood the structure and mechanisms of local governance. Outputs of the activities, including documentation, modules, and simulation results, achieved a quality score of 85%. These findings indicate that interactive lectures, discussions, simulations, and hands-on practice are effective in enhancing participants’ knowledge, skills, and social participation. Although some participants still require further guidance and material reinforcement, the program successfully increased awareness of social values and the community’s ability to engage actively in societal life.
