FROM DIGITAL SKILLS TO COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT: PUBLIC SPEAKING, CONTENT CREATION, AND CONTENT PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT TRAINING FOR SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES AT RUANG PUBLIK TERPADU RAMAH ANAK RAWA BUAYA JAKARTA
Abstract
Enhancing sustainable community development requires empowering residents with practical digital skills. At Ruang Publik Terpadu Ramah Anak Rawa Buaya, Jakarta, a one-day intensive training program was conducted, focusing on public speaking, content creation, and content production management, facilitated by three field experts. Adopting a participatory and hands-on approach, the program emphasized interactive learning to ensure active engagement and rapid skill acquisition. Evaluation through observation and participant feedback demonstrated significant improvements in confidence, digital content creation abilities, and content management skills. Beyond individual skill enhancement, the initiative fostered a collaborative community environment, encouraging knowledge sharing and collective support for digital initiatives. By integrating digital literacy, creative content production, and public engagement, the program demonstrates how targeted, skill-focused interventions can empower local communities, strengthen social participation, and promote sustainable practices. This study provides a replicable framework for leveraging digital technologies in community development, highlighting the transformative potential of combining innovative skill-building with structured community engagement to enhance resilience and long-term sustainability.
