Empowerment of the Hadroh Group of the Student Communication Forum – Jambi Kota Seberang, Jambi City, as a Form of Study and Preservation of Islamic Art

Abstrak

This community service program supported the hadroh group of the Student Communication Forum – Jambi Kota Seberang (FKM-JKS), a student organization with considerable cultural potential but limited organized development of its Islamic performing arts. A lecturer team from Universitas Jambi worked with the group using the Community Learning Empowerment (PPM) model in three stages: preparation and planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. The program opened with socialization and discussion, then offered hands-on training in hadroh performance and vocal technique, a workshop on the history of Islamic arts in Jambi, training in group management and leadership, and a handover of instruments, followed by weekly practice at the forum’s secretariat. Progress was monitored through documentation, facilitator observation, and feedback. These sources show that the planned activities were carried out and that members took part in regular practice, but they do not include structured before-and-after measures, so changes in skill, leadership, or awareness are reported as observations and not as measured effects. The program suggests that participatory, art-based training is a workable way to support student cultural groups. Whether practice continues after facilitation ends, and how large the effects are, will need follow-up with measured indicators.
