Omah Batik: Community Empowerment and Cultural Preservation through Thematic KKN in Jetak Village
Keywords:
Thematic KKN, Community Empowerment, Creative Economy, Community participationAbstract
The implementation of the Thematic Community Service Program (KKN) in Jetak Village focused on developing local potential through the Omah Batik program. This initiative aimed to empower the community by providing skills training, including eco-print on tote bags, tie-dye techniques, and Tengger Udeng Batik production. The methodology included preparation stages, direct hands-on training, and guidance for residents throughout the batik production process, followed by an exhibition of the works as a medium for promotion and education. These activities not only enhanced practical skills but also raised awareness of the importance of preserving local cultural heritage. The training results were displayed in the Tengger Udeng Batik exhibition at Omah Batik, serving as a platform for community recognition as well as promotion of the village’s creative products to a wider audience. The impact of the program was observed in several aspects: economically, by opening new market opportunities and supporting the development of local MSMEs; socially, by strengthening community cohesion and self-confidence; and culturally, by reinforcing the unique identity of Jetak Village. Thus, Omah Batik functions as an educational center, a cultural preservation hub, and a driver for sustainable creative economic development. The program’s continuity is essential to ensure long-term benefits for the residents of Jetak Village.
