BASIC PUBLIC SPEAKING TRAINING AND PREPARATION OF PRESENTATION MATERIALS FOR RPTRA OFFICERS THROUGHOUT DKI JAKARTA
Abstract
This community service program was designed to strengthen the communication capacity of RPTRA (Child-Friendly Integrated Public Space) managers in DKI Jakarta through training on basic public speaking skills and presentation material development. The training was conducted on August 11–13, 2025, at the PKK Melati Jaya Building, Jagakarsa, involving 40 participants from various RPTRA locations across Jakarta. The main objective was to improve participants’ confidence in delivering public communication, enhance their ability to interact with diverse audiences, and develop attractive presentation materials to support their communication practices. The program combined theoretical insights with practical exercises, focusing on verbal and nonverbal communication, audience engagement, and the design of effective PowerPoint slides. Observations, pre-tests, and post-tests demonstrated a significant improvement in participants’ performance, particularly in terms of overcoming speaking anxiety, using body language appropriately, and adjusting presentation content according to audience needs. The training also emphasized the importance of creativity and visual design in presentation materials to ensure messages are conveyed effectively and persuasively. The results highlight the relevance of equipping community-level public service managers with communication and presentation skills, as these abilities not only support internal coordination but also strengthen RPTRA’s role as a bridge between government programs and local communities. This program is expected to serve as a replicable model for enhancing public communication skills in other community-based institutions.
