SYNERGY BETWEEN THE KAMPUNG INGGRIS ZBOND ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND KK26 TOURISM VILLAGE THROUGH THE OUTDOOR LEARNING APPROACH

Abstract

The Kampung Inggris ZBond program is an educational program that has been officially launched by the Situbondo Regency Government and is located in Olean Village. The mentoring approach is divided into three main focuses, namely strengthening branding as a networking strategy, education based on environmental awareness, and optimizing the KK26 tourism area as an educational space. The branding carried out was able to reach nine elementary schools and increase the number of participants by 150% after branding. Environmentally conscious education activities included planting 75 tree seedlings and sorting plastic waste collected during outdoor learning activities, as well as demonstrations on processing organic waste into decomposers. Optimizing the KK26 tourism area as an outdoor learning location contributed to operational income while also shaping the village's image as an educational tourist destination. This program demonstrates that the synergy between education, the environment, and tourism can serve as the foundation for the realization of a resilient, networked, and educationally literate village.
