Muhammadiyah University of Purworejo (UMPWR) – The 2025 Thematic Community Service Programme (KKN) Group 7 carried out a collaboration between lecturers and students in the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, particularly in the field of community service. The KKN-Thematic Group 7 team conducted an outreach activity themed ‘Healthy Homes, Technology Literacy, and Law’ in Jenar Wetan Village, Purworejo on Thursday, 28 August 2025.
This activity received a warm welcome from the Jenar Wetan Village Government. In her remarks, Retno Fajar S.E., the Village Secretary, as the village representative, expressed her appreciation for the implementation of this academic agenda. ‘We are very grateful to the UMPWR KKN students and their supervising lecturers for contributing their knowledge and new insights to our community. We hope that this activity will provide sustainable benefits,’ she said.
This seminar featured an epic collaboration between two speakers from the 7th group of KKN-Tematik participants and UMPWR lecturers. The first speaker was Alhambra Ferdinando, a student from the UMPWR Information Technology Study Programme, who explained the use of digital technology in supporting economic activities, expanding market access, and opening up new business opportunities based on the local potential of villages. Equally interesting was the presentation by Harits, a Civil Engineering student at UMPWR, who explained the concept of Healthy Homes, emphasising the importance of environmental cleanliness, adequate sanitation, and the implementation of healthy lifestyles to support the quality of health for families and the wider community.
The third speaker presented the topic of Dispute Resolution through Non-Litigation Channels, delivered directly by the Field Supervisor/DPL from Group 7, Galih Bagas Soesilo, S.H., LL.M. This material aimed to provide an understanding to the community that not all legal problems must be resolved through the courts. Alternative dispute resolution outside the court, such as through mediation or a family-based approach, was introduced as a more efficient and faster solution that still upholds social justice values. However, there are still legal issues that require the involvement of law enforcement agencies in order to achieve justice.
In closing, the Field Supervisor shared his reflections. ‘It is hoped that this activity will not end at a ceremonial level, but will pave the way for those of us in the field of education to also take on the task of providing up-to-date scientific information that is beneficial to society,’ he said.
