Designing a Youth Environmental Stewardship Educational Program by Adopting Logical Framework Approach in Catur Village, Kintamani, Bali

Universitas Dhyana Pura (Undhira) has been involved in various research and community empowerment projects in Catur Village, Kintamani, Bangli, Bali. However, no projects in Catur Village have specifically reached the village youths until 2020. Hence, this article discusses developing an empowerment project called the Youth Environmental Stewardship program in Catur Village (YES Catur). Using the Logical Framework Approach (LFA), the authors describe the underlying problem the village youths face, such as a lack of self-efficacy and awareness of micro and macro-environmental issues facing them and their generation. Furthermore, the LFA became the overarching goal of empowering the youths through an environmental stewardship education program, encouraging positive self-view and worldview, the resources and activities designed to engage them, and the intended outputs and outcomes from the project. From this pilot project, the youths are expected to realize their true potential as they appreciate the great natural potential in their village, especially in ecology. They were encouraged to take on active roles in environmental stewardship (including eco-entrepreneurship and circular economy). Finally, they can share about themselves and their village through storytelling and photography to showcase their potential and share about sustainability issues.
