Pounding Nature into Profit with Sustainable Techniques for Crafting High-value Eco-print Products

Abstract

This study aims to provide a descriptive overview of the Eco-Print training conducted in Yosowilangun Village as part of the Community Empowerment Programs. The training, emphasizing the Eco-Print Pounding Technique, seeks to empower residents for livelihood creation through the sale of market-valued Eco-Print fabric. The training consists of three phase: First, preliminary meeting, main training event and evaluation meeting. Preliminary meeting is conducted to plan the preparation for the main training event, the Eco-print pounding technique training. While the evaluation meeting was conducted to evaluate the success of the event. Results indicate a comprehensive grasp of eco-printing concepts among participants. Through evaluation, the program also established communication through social networking service (SNS) groups as media for the participant to communicate. Despite concerns about physical exertion during the production phase, participants expressed a willingness to create eco-prints independently. Future strategies, discussed in dedicated meetings, prioritize enhancing participants' eco-print knowledge. Ultimately, this training equips Family Welfare Movement members for income generation and potential SME development, aligning with the eco-friendly of Eco-Print production.
