MEANINGFUL KKN EXPERIENCE IN GANGGANGPANJANG VILLAGE

By:  Akhmad Fauzie

Let me introduce myself, my name is Akhmad Fauzie, usually called Fauzie. I had the opportunity to participate in the Real Work Lecture (KKN) program for two weeks in Ganggangpanjang Village, Tanggulangin District. The theme of the KKN that we carried was "Building and Developing the Digital Generation among Ganggangpanjang Villagers."

During those two weeks, I experienced many valuable things—both in terms of knowledge and life lessons. The village welcomed us with warmth and friendliness, making it easy for us to adapt and carry out our planned programs smoothly.

Our main focus was to introduce and strengthen digital literacy among the residents. We conducted workshops on the use of smartphones, social media, and digital tools to support daily activities, especially for youths and small business owners. It was truly enjoyable to see their enthusiasm in learning something new. Many of them were very eager to explore how digital platforms could help improve their productivity and connectivity with the outside world.

Apart from the main programs, we also got involved in community activities such as helping in the local mosque, assisting in community clean-up efforts, and spending time with local children through educational games and storytelling. These moments built a strong emotional connection between us and the villagers.

In conclusion, my KKN journey was not just about implementing a program. It was about building relationships, learning from the community, and growing as a person. I am grateful for the opportunity and will always remember my meaningful KKN experience in Ganggangpanjang Village with pride and gratitude.
