Pemberdayaan Generasi Digital melalui Pelatihan Komputer (Microsoft Office dan Canva) bagi Anak Remaja dan Pemuda di Desa Hilisimaetano
Abstract
Hilisimaetano Village is one of the oldest traditional villages in South Nias Regency, possessing tremendous potential in tourism and culture, as evidenced by its achievement as one of the Top 50 Tourism Villages in the Indonesian Tourism Village Award (ADWI) 2022. However, based on observations and interviews, the younger generation in this village, particularly primary and junior high school students, still faces challenges regarding a lack of computer technology skills due to limited access to facilities and training. This condition leaves them unfamiliar with utilizing technological devices for productive purposes. To address this issue, this community service program aims to empower the digital generation in Hilisimaetano Village through basic computer training, Microsoft Office, and Canva. The implementation method utilizes community empowerment structured in four sequential stages: education, preparation, training and assistance, and evaluation. The results of this activity indicate that the students successfully mastered basic computer operation skills, document processing and presentations using Microsoft Office, and creative graphic design using Canva. This program delivered significant positive impacts, including improved digital literacy, increased self-confidence among participants, and equipping the younger generation to actively support future village tourism administration and promotion digitally.References
