WISE SOCIAL MEDIA USE: MAINTAINING PERSONAL IDENTITY AND NATIONALISM SPIRIT ABROAD
Abstract
In today’s digital era, social media plays a central role in daily life, including for Indonesian migrant workers abroad. However, many of them lack sufficient understanding of the ethical implications of their online activities. Unintentionally, they may share content that reinforces negative stereotypes or harms their personal image and Indonesia’s reputation. This underscores the urgent need for digital literacy that promotes not only technical skills but also ethical awareness and national values. To address this, the program "Wise Use of Social Media: Maintaining Personal Identity and Nationalism Abroad" aims to educate Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia on ethical social media usage, build a sense of nationalism, and prevent the spread of harmful content. The program focuses not just on information delivery but also on changing participants’ attitudes and behaviors in digital spaces. Conducted in a one-day session, the program includes training on digital literacy, social media ethics, and nationalism, guided by students and experienced practitioners. Participant understanding is assessed through questionnaires at the end of the program. Expected outcomes include improved awareness of responsible online behavior, a decrease in negative posts, and strengthened nationalism reflected through digital engagement. Additionally, this initiative aligns with the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) policy by offering students hands-on learning opportunities. It also encourages the publication of academic research and the development of appropriate digital tools for migrant communities. Ultimately, this program aspires to empower migrant workers to become responsible digital citizens and foster a global online community that upholds and promotes Indonesian values.
