Development of Innovative and Creative Villages as Educational Villages

Abstract: One way to balance the lives of the people of Surabaya is that education is needed so that people are more aware of giving children’s rights without being asked and concerned about child development. In realizing this atmosphere, the Surabaya City Government has launched the Kampung Arek Suroboyo Education Village Program, abbreviated as KPKAS. This program is an effort by the Surabaya City Government to create a safe and comfortable environment for children. The hope is that children will get guaranteed protection and comfort not only in the school environment, but also in the neighborhood. The entire community (RW) 08 of Keputih Subdistrict, Sukolilo District as part of the citizens of Surabaya City Government, Indonesia will actively participate in this program, to create a village that is conducive to child growth and development. Creative and innovative villages are villages that are able to develop creativity and provide a platform for expression, creativity and innovation for children. Programs that have been implemented include a patrol group that is played by young cadets RT 03 RW 08, rebana groups PKK RW 08, potential youth clubs, creative mothers who process plastic waste, garbage banks, water treatment for irrigation and very innovative drinking water, as well as active young children who need containers for expression and creativity.
