The program was implemented through three stages: preparation, training, and evaluation. Training activities included theoretical sessions, hands-on practice using network monitoring tools, and the application of AI for network traffic analysis and anomaly detection. Evaluation was carried out through pre-tests, post-tests, and participant feedback. The results showed an improvement in students’ understanding of network monitoring concepts and their ability to utilize AI-assisted monitoring tools. Participants also demonstrated positive engagement and satisfaction throughout the training activities. This program successfully enhanced students’ competencies in AI-based network monitoring and contributed to their readiness for the increasingly automated and technology-driven networking industry.

Development of a Website to Improve Digital Marketing for Micro, Small And Medium Enterprises A.M.J Tempe Chips
The transformation of global tourism has shifted the paradigm from mass tourism to experience tourism, emphasizing meaningful experiences as the core value of travel activities. In this context, culture is no longer viewed merely as a tourism attraction but as a communication medium that creates memorable experiences for visitors. Tenganan Pegringsingan Village in Karangasem Regency, Bali, as one of the oldest Bali Aga communities that preserves its traditional social system, customary law (awig-awig), religious rituals, Mekare-kare (Pandan War) tradition, and Gringsing weaving heritage, possesses significant potential for the development of experiential cultural tourism. However, the growth of the tourism industry has also generated challenges, including cultural commodification, diminishing symbolic meanings of traditions, and the predominance of attraction-oriented tourism management over participatory cultural experiences. This community engagement program aims to reconstruct a cultural tourism model through the Experiential Cultural Communication approach, integrating cultural preservation, experiential communication, and community empowerment. The program employed participatory methods, including participatory observation, focus group discussions (FGDs), cultural storytelling training, cultural interpretation assistance, and capacity-building activities for local communities in managing community-based tourism communication. The findings reveal that Bali Aga culture can function as a medium of experiential communication that generates sensory, emotional, intellectual, relational, and transformational experiences for visitors. This approach not only strengthens the cultural identity of the Tenganan Pegringsingan community but also promotes sustainable tourism centered on local participation. The Experiential Cultural Communication model offers a strategic alternative for preserving cultural authenticity while enhancing educational, participatory, and sustainable tourism experiences. Consequently, this reconstruction seeks to position tourists as active participants in cultural dialogue rather than mere consumers of tourism attractions.

Assistance in the Implementation of Management Control Systems in Sago-Based Café MSMEs Through SWOT Analysis to Improve Business Sustainability in Jayapura City
Many MSMEs have not implemented adequate managerial and accounting practices, especially in management control and inventory management, making them vulnerable to cost waste, stock loss, and disruption of business continuity that threatens long-term business sustainability. A review study on management accounting practices in MSMEs confirms the important role of these practices in improving operational efficiency and managerial decision-making capabilities. The implementation of a simple and scalable Management Control System (SPM) can help MSMEs standardize processes, separate key tasks, and provide information for control and decision-making. SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis provides a simple yet powerful framework to evaluate the internal and external conditions of MSMEs before designing or adjusting SPM and inventory policies. By incorporating SWOT findings into management control design—for example, by leveraging internal strengths to implement simple record-keeping, addressing weaknesses through staff training, exploiting local market opportunities, and anticipating supply chain threats—MSMEs can design more adaptive and sustainable strategies. Through mentoring activities, Sasagu Cafe MSMEs gain an understanding of the importance of implementing a management control system that includes business planning, inventory control, financial management, division of tasks and responsibilities, and evaluation of the business environment through SWOT analysis. The results of the analysis show that this business has a great opportunity to grow if it is able to take advantage of its strengths and overcome various weaknesses that still exist.

Leveraging Artificial Intelligence In The Development of Interactive Learning Multimedia : A Vocational Training Initiative For Broadcasting Students At Smk Cipta Insan Mandiri Depok
The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has reshaped how the multimedia and education sectors operate. Even so, students in the broadcasting program at SMK Cipta Insan Mandiri Depok continue to struggle with several issues: they understand little about how AI can be applied in multimedia production, they are not yet skilled at building interactive learning content, and they rarely get to train with up-to-date technology. Such gaps may weaken graduates’ competitiveness in a job market that increasingly expects fluency in digital tools and AI-driven creativity. This community service activity was therefore intended to strengthen the abilities of broadcasting students at the school so that they can use AI to create interactive learning multimedia that is creative, fresh, and suited to what the digital industry actually needs. The approach taken was a structured plan delivered through workshops, hands-on practice, and close mentoring, with participants guided toward concrete results in the form of AI-based interactive learning media. The method itself was arranged in a systematic, participatory, and applied way to tackle the core problem, that is, the limited use of AI in producing interactive learning multimedia. Throughout the process, partners were actively involved at every step, from identifying needs to running the training and mentoring and finally evaluating the results. The material covered the basic ideas behind AI, an introduction to an AI tool (NotebookLM), techniques for producing AI-based multimedia, and the development of interactive learning media. Eighteen students took part in the session, which ran on May 19, 2026. Afterward, participants showed a clear improvement in grasping AI concepts and in their practical ability to create AI-based multimedia content. The post-activity questionnaires showed that 95.7% of participants were satisfied with the program, 31.9% strongly agreeing and 63.8% agreeing that the training lived up to their expectations. The program also yielded a relevant AI-based training module built with NotebookLM along with interactive learning products, which supports the longer-term goal of raising education quality in the digital era.

Stop Vape And Cigaretesn: Community Service For A Healthy, Nicotine Free Generation At SMK Al-Washliyah 3 Medan
The use of conventional cigarettes and e-cigarettes (vapes) among adolescents is a public health issue that requires serious attention. Poor understanding of the dangers of nicotine and the perception that vapes are safer than cigarettes are factors driving the increased use of nicotine products among students. This community service activity aims to increase the knowledge and awareness of students at SMKS Al Washliyah 3 Medan regarding the dangers of cigarettes and vapes, their nicotine content, and their impact on health through scientific evidence-based education. The activity was implemented through a participatory educational approach, including health education, presentations, interactive discussions, and refusal skills training for students who are tempted to use cigarettes and vapes. The target group of the activity was adolescent students at SMKS Al Washliyah 3 Medan. Educational materials covered the differences between cigarettes and vapes, the harmful substances contained in nicotine products, the impact of nicotine on adolescent brain development, the risks of short-term and long-term health problems, and strategies for developing a healthy lifestyle without nicotine. The results of the activity showed an increase in students' understanding of the risks of cigarette and vape use, particularly regarding nicotine content and the potential for dependence. Through discussion sessions, students also began to understand that vaping is not a safe product, but rather carries health risks and can be a gateway to conventional smoking. This activity also encouraged students to develop positive attitudes toward rejecting the use of nicotine products and supporting the creation of a healthy, smoke-free school environment. This community service activity contributed to improving adolescent health literacy through a promotive and preventative approach based on evidence-based education. Continuous education about the dangers of smoking and vaping in the school environment is expected to foster a more health-conscious, productive, and nicotine-free young generation.

Integrated Corporate Social Innovation for Urban Coastal Resilience: Evidence from the Lawang Cemoro Program in Indonesia
Coastal areas face a variety of complex challenges, including environmental pollution, limited access to clean water, poor public health, and social and economic vulnerability. These conditions call for a development approach that is not only environmentally focused but also capable of strengthening community capacity in a sustainable manner. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the LAWANG CEMORO Program (Gateway of Hope for the People of North Semarang) as a social innovation by PT Pertamina Patra Niaga Integrated Terminal Semarang in building coastal resilience through a sustainable development approach. The study employs a qualitative method using a case study approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature review, and were then analyzed descriptively using a sustainable development framework. The research findings show that the LAWANG CEMORO Program is implemented through four main pillars: Manfaati Sampah, Tirto Migunani, Sehat Jiwa Raga, and Pasinaon. The “Manfaati Sampah” pillar successfully promotes the circular economy through the management of economically valuable waste; “Tirto Migunani” enhances water resilience through the use of solar-powered, environmentally friendly water filtration technology (SITIRTA); “Sehat Jiwa Raga” strengthens social resilience through preventive health services and protection for vulnerable groups; and “Pasinaon” builds community capacity through education, training, and economic empowerment. The implementation of these four pillars has had a positive impact on improving the quality of the environment, health, social capacity, and the economic self-reliance of coastal communities. Research findings indicate that collaboration between companies, the government, and the community through social innovations based on local needs can strengthen the resilience of coastal areas while supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The Dynamics of Member Participation and Stakeholder Intervention In Women’s Empowerment Programs: A Study of The Ngudi Makmur and Bangun Sejahtera Women Farmers Groups
The success of women's empowerment programs is determined not only by program design but also by the quality of member participation and the stakeholder interventions that support the implementation process. This study aims to examine the dynamics of member participation and stakeholder interventions in optimizing the implementation of women's empowerment programs within the Ngudi Makmur and Bangun Sejahtera Women's Farmer Groups (Kelompok Wanita Tani/KWT). The study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, through data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, observation, documentation, and literature review. Analysis of the research findings refers to Sherry Arnstein’s theory of participation ladder to identify the level of member participation at each stage of the empowerment process, the classification of forms of stakeholder intervention that affect the quality of participation and Naila Kabeer's empowerment theory to see the extent to which member participation contributes to women's empowerment outcomes. The findings indicate that differences in the level of members' participation across the program stages (planning, implementation, benefit utilization, and evaluation) were shaped by varying stakeholder interventions between the two groups that impact the distribution and the quality of benefits received by group members. Furthermore, the results show that the empowerment process extended beyond enhancing individual capacities to strengthening collective capacities, enabling members to become empowerment agents for other community groups. These findings suggest that improving the quality of women's participation is a key factor in maximizing the effectiveness and sustainability of women's empowerment programs.

Optimization of Household Equipment and Instrumentation in an Effort to Save Electrical Energy in a Restaurant
The escalating consumption of electrical energy in the residential and micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) sectors—particularly within culinary businesses—has emerged as a critical issue requiring immediate attention. Energy generation in Indonesia remains heavily reliant on fossil fuels, such as coal and petroleum, which significantly accelerates carbon emissions and environmental degradation. Restaurants, as prominent entities in the culinary sector, typically exhibit high electricity consumption due to the continuous operation of electronic appliances without structured energy management. This community service initiative aimed to deliver educational intervention and implement simple instrumentation to conserve electrical energy at Raja Bakso Restaurant. The execution methodology encompassed preliminary site surveys, high-load appliance identification, installation of rudimentary monitoring and control devices, energy management workshops, and post-implementation evaluation. The technical interventions included automatic digital timers, temperature sensors, and portable power monitoring meters.

Construction of Teaching Module Structure With Deep Learning Approach For Secondary School Teachers
This community service was motivated by the fact that some teachers, particularly those at the junior high school level, still do not understand how to develop teaching modules using the deep learning approach, thus requiring guidance for these teachers. The purpose of this guidance is to facilitate junior high school teachers in developing teaching modules using the deep learning approach, with the subject of guidance being teachers at SMP STMC 4245 Baleendah, Bandung. This guidance method was carried out through problem identification, socialization of the deep learning approach, discussions and practicums on developing teaching modules using the deep learning approach, evaluation and reflection. The results of the activity showed that the guidance went well and received a positive response from the participants, where 86% of teachers stated that they really enjoyed the activity, 11% stated that they enjoyed it, and 3% still needed further guidance. The evaluation results also showed an increase in teachers' understanding and skills in developing teaching modules based on Deep Learning, as indicated by an increase in posttest results compared to the pretest. Teachers were able to integrate the principles of mindful learning, meaningful learning, and joyful learning into teaching modules that were designed according to the characteristics of their respective subjects. Thus, the coaching activities have proven effective in improving teachers' competency in developing Deep Learning-based teaching modules, thereby supporting the implementation of more meaningful, active, and student-centered learning.

Empowering an Indonesian Diaspora Micro Enterprise Abroad: A Multi University International Community Service on Financial Management, Digital Marketing, and Cross Cultural Communication at Warung Jaya Mba Tia, Busan, South Korea
Diaspora owned micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) play a distinctive role in sustaining cultural identity and economic self reliance among migrant communities, yet they frequently operate with limited financial literacy, minimal digital marketing capacity, and constrained cross cultural service skills. This article reports an international community service activity conducted on 9 July 2026 at Warung Jaya Mba Tia, an Indonesian diaspora culinary micro enterprise located near Gukje Market and BIFF Square in Busan, Republic of Korea, as part of the Mobility Program Day of INOBIST – the 3rd International Conference of Business Administration and Communication (ICoBAC). The activity was jointly organized by the Management Study Program of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Islam Bandung (UNISBA), together with delegations from Tongmyong University, Universitas Sangga Buana YPKP Bandung, Universitas Bina Darma Palembang, and Universitas Cendrawasih. Using a participatory lecture discussion method, the lecturer team delivered three modules: (1) basic financial management and bookkeeping for micro enterprises, (2) digital marketing strategy for diaspora culinary businesses, and (3) cross cultural communication in customer service. Results indicate that the activity strengthened the business owner's understanding of separating personal and business finances, simple daily transaction recording, and cost based pricing, while introducing practical digital visibility tools such as social media branding and digital map platforms. Findings are discussed in relation to the financial literacy, migrant entrepreneurship, digital marketing, and cross cultural service literature. The activity also created reciprocal benefits for the student delegation and reinforced interuniversity collaboration in international community service, illustrating a concrete model of higher education's Tri Dharma contribution to diaspora communities abroad.

English Meeting: Enhancing English Public Speaking Skills Through The T.A.I.L.–S.T.A.R.T.–C.L.O.S.E. Framework And Body Language Training For English Education Students At Universitas Islam Makassar
This community service program was designed to strengthen the English public speaking competence of students in the English Education Study Program at Universitas Islam Makassar. The activity addressed recurring difficulties in organizing self-introductions, opening and closing presentations, and maintaining effective non-verbal delivery. A practice-based workshop was developed around three mnemonic frameworks: T.A.I.L. for self-introduction, S.T.A.R.T. for presentation openings, and C.L.O.S.E. for presentation closings, supported by training in seven elements of body language. The program used guided modelling, individual writing, paired rehearsal, short presentation challenges, peer feedback, self-reflection, and facilitator observation. Evaluation focused on the structure of participants’ speaking scripts, clarity of delivery, use of transitions, audience engagement, and awareness of eye contact, posture, gesture, facial expression, voice, strategic pauses, and movement. The implementation indicated that the mnemonic frameworks helped participants organize ideas more quickly and reduced their dependence on improvised or repetitive expressions. Participants also demonstrated more purposeful openings and closings and greater attention to non-verbal delivery. Pronunciation consistency, spontaneous responses, and sustained fluency remained areas requiring continued practice. The program shows that a compact, scaffolded, and highly participatory English Meeting can serve as a practical model for extracurricular speaking development in higher education.

Increasing Production Capacity and Management of Palm Sugar Producing In MSME Purwabakti Village
It was recorded that in 2023, there were 29.3 million MSMEs in Indonesia in the agriculture and fisheries sectors. One of the processed agricultural products in Indonesia is palm sugar. Palm sugar is a processed product that utilizes the sap of the sugar palm tree. Palm sugar can be a substitute for granulated sugar for diabetics. Researchers from the Center for Behavioral and Circular Economics Research (PR EPS) of the Indonesian Agency for Research on Indonesian National Agency for Research (BRIN) revealed that domestic production capacity is still far from sufficient to meet domestic market demand, let alone the export market. Purwabakti Village, located in Bogor Regency, has the potential to produce palm sugar. Palm sap or palm trees are abundant in this area. Palm sugar production is still relatively low. The amount of palm sugar produced by MSMEs in Purwabakti Village only ranges from 3-6 kg per week. Given the existing potential, palm sugar production can be increased. Production and marketing activities are still very conventional. Limited production facilities and production equipment are among the causes. In addition, palm sugar MSMEs face limitations in product distribution because they do not yet have a product brand and have not marketed through digital media. The Community Service Team provided training related to branding strategies, social media marketing, and the development of standard operating procedures (SOPs) for palm sugar production in Purwabakti Village. The activity resulted in the successful formulation of a brand for the Purwabakti village palm sugar product, namely "Manira Palm Sugar," and an Instagram social media account, "Manira Palm Sugar." The Community Service Team also developed a production standard operating procedure (SOP) that will serve as a standard for consistently producing quality palm sugar products.

Aguidance In Utilizing The Waste Utilization of The Free Nutritional Meal Program And Trash Fish In Improving The Quality of Poultry Pellet Feed In The Merak Farmers Group, Labuhanbatu District
The availability of affordable and high-quality feed is an important factor in the sustainability of poultry farming. The Merak Farmers Group in Labuhanbatu Regency faces high commercial feed costs, while food waste generated from the Free Nutritious Meal Program and locally available trash fish have not been optimally utilized. This community service program aimed to improve farmers’ knowledge and practical skills in processing leftover rice, tofu, and tempeh from the Free Nutritious Meal Program, as well as trash fish, into raw materials for poultry pellet feed. The program applied a participatory approach through education, demonstration, hands-on practice, and production assistance. The implementation consisted of two main activities. The first activity involved sorting, drying, milling, and sieving food waste into feed meal. The second activity involved processing trash fish into fish meal, formulating the feed by adding rice bran, ground corn, and minerals, mixing the ingredients, producing pellets using a pellet machine, and drying the final product. The results showed that group members were able to carry out the processing stages and operate both the milling and pellet-making machines. The resulting pellets were relatively uniform, compact, easy to handle, and suitable for storage after drying. The utilization of locally available materials and previously underutilized resources reduced the amount of purchased feed ingredients, resulting in lower feed production costs compared with the full use of commercial feed. This program demonstrates that practice-based assistance can strengthen farmers’ capacity to produce alternative feed while supporting productive and sustainable waste management.

Community Development through Bebegig Sukamantri-Themed Souvenir Production for Strengthening Intangible Cultural Heritage and the Creative Economy in Indonesia
The sustainability of Bebegig Sukamantri, an Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) of Ciamis Regency, faces significant challenges due to limited community participation in the development of culture-based tourism souvenirs. This condition has hindered the utilization of Bebegig as both a cultural identity and a source of creative economic development. The 2026 Nusantara Arts Innovation Program (PISN) was designed to enhance community capacity through training in the design and production of souvenirs inspired by Bebegig Sukamantri. The program employed a Community Development approach, positioning Sanggar Seni Bebegig Sukamantri Baladdewa as both a partner and the principal actor throughout all stages of implementation. The training integrated Sundanese cultural knowledge, traditional woodcarving techniques, silicone mold-making, and resin casting for souvenir production. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in community capacity. The training successfully improved technical skills by 100% across 20 participants and generated 12 new prototype souvenir designs, benefiting entrepreneurs from several villages in Sukamantri District. The program confirms that a community-based empowerment approach is effective in strengthening the preservation of Intangible Cultural Heritage while simultaneously promoting the creative economy through an adaptive and replicable training model.

Training on the Utilization of Artificial Intelligence for Optimizing MSME Product Marketing on E-Commerce Platforms
This community service activity aimed to strengthen the capacity of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Karanganyar Regency to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) for product marketing on e-commerce platforms. Thirty MSME representatives participated in training covering four competency domains: AI concept understanding, AI tool use, marketing content creation, and e-commerce product optimization. Learning outcomes were evaluated descriptively using pre-test and post-test mean scores on a 0–100 scale. The results showed improvement in all four domains. AI concept understanding increased from 50 to 80, equivalent to a 30-point gain and a 60.0% relative improvement. AI tool use increased from 55 to 70 (27.3%), marketing content creation from 50 to 82 (64.0%), and e-commerce product optimization from 53 to 81 (52.8%). Across the four indicators, the average score increased from 52.00 to 78.25, representing an absolute gain of 26.25 points and a 50.5% relative improvement. The highest post-test score and the largest relative improvement were observed in marketing content creation, while AI tool use showed the smallest relative gain. These descriptive findings indicate positive immediate learning outcomes and support the use of practice-oriented AI training to strengthen MSME digital marketing capabilities. Because only aggregate pre-test and post-test means were available, the results should not be interpreted as evidence of statistical significance or long-term business performance. Follow-up mentoring and outcome monitoring are recommended.
