Batik Jumputan goes to Taiwan: Utilizing natural dyes to preserve local wisdom

Abstract

This community service aims to introduce the local wisdom of Indonesia, especially typical Indonesian plants that can be used as natural dyes. The object of this activity is Indonesian students who study and live in Taiwan. In addition to introducing local wisdom, the community service team also intends to increase interest in learning science through training in making natural dyes.  From the preparations that have been made, the team has succeeded in making natural dyes of yellow, red, and green. It has succeeded in making a video tutorial on making batik Jumputan with natural dyes. The batik Jumputan material was brought as training material on July 5, 2024, at NCU, Taoyuan, Taiwan, with participants from PPI Taiwan members and native Taiwanese students. The training participants were enthusiastic about the activities carried out, as evidenced by the positive response to this activity.
