Namun, pengelolaan kawasan ini cenderung terjebak dalam pola <em>mass tourism</em> yang berorientasi pada kuantitas pengunjung, tanpa memperhatikan aspek pelestarian dan pemberdayaan masyarakat lokal. Artikel ini membahas inisiatif pengabdian masyarakat yang dilakukan oleh Universitas Bakrie dengan tujuan menyiapkan kewirausahaan berbasis geowisata di kalangan pemuda dan pelajar sekitar kawasan situs. Kegiatan ini merupakan program berkelanjutan yang diawali dengan survei pendahuluan pada April 2025 untuk memetakan potensi komunitas serta menyusun materi pelatihan. Metode pelaksanaan menggunakan pendekatan partisipatif berbasis komunitas, yang mencakup perancangan pelatihan kewirausahaan, pendampingan, serta penyusunan materi akademik yang relevan dengan prinsip geowisata. Hasil kegiatan awal menunjukkan tingginya antusiasme dan potensi keterlibatan generasi muda dalam praktik geo-entrepreneurship. Program ini diharapkan dapat mendukung tujuan pembangunan berkelanjutan (SDG 11), khususnya dalam mendorong pengelolaan kawasan wisata yang inklusif, edukatif, dan berkelanjutan.</span></p>2025-07-16T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Eli Jamilah Mihardja, Hasan Ali Murtadha, Mohammad Ihsan, Deffi Ayu Puspito Sari, Insan H Harahap, Jurica Lucyanda, Ahmad Yanihttps://journal.irpi.or.id/index.php/consen/article/view/2080Bridging Youth to Global Education: Workshop on IELTS Awareness and Preparation at SMAN Jatinangor2025-06-14T05:19:00+00:00Revi Nur Ridwanrevinurr@gmail.com<p><em>Many high school students in suburban areas lack awareness of international English proficiency tests like IELTS, limiting their access to global education opportunities. To address this, a one-day interactive workshop was held at SMAN Jatinangor using the Participatory Learning and Action (PLA) approach. The program introduced students to IELTS structure, objectives, and test strategies through engaging, student-centered activities. Pre- and post-surveys assessed the impact, with results showing a significant improvement: the percentage of students in the high awareness category increased from 0% to 70%, while the low category was completely eliminated. This demonstrates the effectiveness of targeted educational interventions in bridging global readiness gaps.</em></p>2025-06-28T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Revi Nur Ridwan
