Plastic waste management poses a significant challenge in many villages, including Desa Bawolowalangi. The community service program titled “Transformation of Aqua Plastic Bottles into Environmentally Friendly Trash Bins Based on Local Wisdom in Desa Bawolowalangi” aims to address this issue through innovative recycling that integrates local cultural values. This activity involves technical training on recycling aqua plastic bottles as well as the application of motifs and designs unique to Desa Bawolowalangi on trash bin products. This participatory and sustainable approach not only raises environmental awareness but also strengthens cultural identity and opens new economic opportunities for the local community. As a result, the recycled products are not only environmentally friendly but also have high market value, contributing to improved community welfare. Assistance in production management and digital marketing further strengthens the program’s sustainability. These findings demonstrate that integrating local wisdom in waste management can be an effective strategy to empower communities while preserving environmental sustainability. This program is expected to serve as an innovative and sustainable waste management model for other villages in Indonesia.

This community service activity aims to integrate the local wisdom of Te Aro Naweak Lako into character education at elementary schools in Wamena, Jayawijaya Regency, Papua. Te Aro Naweak Lako embodies the values of empathy (naweak) and togetherness (lako), which align with the goals of character education to develop students who are virtuous and socially caring. The implementation methods include teacher training, development of learning modules based on local culture, classroom mentoring, and evaluation through observation and interviews. Teachers from three elementary schools actively participated in this process. The results showed an increased understanding among students of the values of empathy, responsibility, and cooperation. This activity also strengthened the relationship between schools and the indigenous community by involving local leaders who revived folk stories and communal work practices (gotong royong), which have increasingly been marginalized by modernization. Student character evaluations indicated significant improvements in empathy, responsibility, cooperation, and cultural appreciation. Teachers and parents expressed appreciation for this approach because it is more contextual and has a direct impact on student behavior both at school and at home. This activity recommends replicating the Te Aro Naweak Lako model in other schools across the Papua highlands as a means of cultural preservation and strengthening character education based on local wisdom.
