Digital Generation Awareness and Consciousness on Reproduction (DIGISADAR)

Abstract

The development of digital technology has transformed the lifestyles of adolescents, particularly in their use of the internet and social media as a means of communication, information, and self-expression. However, low levels of digital literacy and creative skills among adolescents, coupled with a lack of understanding of reproductive health, are issues that need to be addressed through educational activities. The "DIGITAL GENERATION AWARENESS AND AWARE REPRODUCTION (DIGISADAR)" Community Service Program (KKN) was implemented in Kayumoyondi Village with the aim of improving digital literacy and creativity among adolescents through training in the use of the Canva application, as well as increasing their understanding of reproductive health and healthy lifestyles. The implementation method included educational lectures, discussions, and hands-on practice in digital poster creation. The results of the activity showed an increase in adolescents' understanding of the wise use of social media, enhanced graphic design skills, and increased awareness of the importance of maintaining reproductive health. Furthermore, education on PHBS (Healthy Living Behavior) and anti-bullying among elementary school children also demonstrated active participation and increased understanding among participants. This program is expected to have a sustainable impact in developing a creative, healthy, and responsible young generation in utilizing digital technology.
