Unesa.ac.id, SURABAYA-The literacy quality of the country's children determines the nation's future journey. Therefore, literacy culture must be familiarized from an early age and involve many parties. Literacy bases must be built and color the corners of the village and kelurahan. That is what the UNESA PKM-PM group aspires to through the Literacy Literacy House (Rumera) which was founded in Gumeng Village, Gondang District, Mojokerto Regency.
The Literacy House was initiated by UNESA students in collaboration with youth organizations and local village officials. Rumera is intended as a literacy base for elementary school children and instilling the values of gender equality in children in the village. Children's learning methods are designed in the form of playing while learning or learning while playing.
To support this goal, Rumera is equipped with a gender pocket book, a traditional game vehicle, has a coloring program and listens to fairy tales from a collection of gender-based fairy tales published by the Rumera team.
In this way, Rumera becomes a learning platform to improve literacy culture based on gender equality for children, as a forum to improve the quality of human resources, and as an effort to realize gender justice in society.
The literacy program received a warm welcome from the children and the local community. Since the beginning, the community, youth organizations and local villages have been supportive. The basis for literacy activities is using some of the youth groups' rooms. The children enthusiastically participated in the literacy program which was held every Saturday and Sunday. Rumera has a motto, “Together we can make our dreams come true, together we can.”
Rumera with a series of programs will continue to be developed in the future through partners who have worked together and are committed to continuing to develop the literacy base in the villages.
Mitra Rumera consists of members of the Gumeng Village Youth Organization who care about the activities of children in the village. Previously they had been prepared and trained by the Rumera team to assist children in learning. “We hope that literacy will grow and become a habit for children in the village. We also hope that through literacy, we want to instill the value of gender equality from an early age,” the PKM chairman hoped. [UNESA PR]
