FKIP – The Javanese Language Education Study Program (HMP) Student Association (Wibawa) Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) Sebelas Maret University (UNS) Surakarta conducted Community Development activities for Sareng Wibawa (Birawa) offline on Saturday-Sunday (2/ 10/2021-21/11/2021).

Birawa was an annual work program in the social sector of HMP Wibawa with the aim of assisting the independent learning of elementary school children. This year, the Birawa activity was carried out offline after last year’s implementation was carried out online due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The theme of this activity was “Laku ing Sasmita Amrih Lantip” which means that if someone wants to have the knowledge, they must hone their body and mind. Useful knowledge must be mastered physically and mentally so that it can be practiced in everyday life, useful for oneself and for others.

Novita Anissa Putri, as the chief executive of the Sareng Wibawa community development activity, conveyed the purpose of this activity.

“Based on the work program in the field of Javanese Language Education HMP Sosma, the Birawa program is intended as a student service to the community which is manifested in tutoring activities for elementary school children,” explained Novita when met by the fkip.uns.ac.id team on Monday ( 6/12/2021).

The activity was carried out at the RT 1 sub-village kamling post, Jebres Surakarta. Participants who took part in this activity included elementary school children from grade 1 to grade 6. The intensity of the activity was carried out for eight meetings, namely every Saturday morning.

Novita conveyed the series of activities carried out to enliven the Birawa program.

“Birawa is held for two hours and divided into two sessions. The first session was the delivery of Javanese language education materials including uploading, knowing the crew, Punakawan, Pandawa five, geguritan, macapat, and playful song. In the second session, there was tutoring for younger siblings regarding assignments or homework and quizzes with prizes,” said Novita.

In the end, Novita expressed her hopes and plans regarding the Birawa activities that have been carried out.

“Hopefully, holding this event can be useful for younger siblings in overcoming learning difficulties and can add insight into the Javanese language. In addition, the committee hopes that they can learn to be a fun teacher candidate, able to master the material, and can be guided and imitated. In the future, Birawa will be held again,” concluded Novita.
