The people of Papungan Village welcomed the presence of TPM State University of Malang. The hope is of course that the potential of Papungan Village is increasingly known to the wider community. One of them is through digital promotional materials produced by TPM while in Papungan Village. The community response is also very good and it is hoped that it will provide benefits for the progress of Papungan Village.
The TPM activity in Papungan Village began with a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) at the Papungan Village Hall, on Thursday (9/9). Several elements of the community were invited to formulate the TPM agenda while in Papungan Village. Community representatives were present to take part in the FGD, from Mbah Moedjair’s extended family, youth organizations, tourism awareness groups (pokdarwis), micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), humanists, community leaders, to observers of the history of tilapia fish.
After the FGD, TPM immediately moved quickly by documenting the potential of Papungan Village. Starting from the typical batik of Kampung Mudjair, producers of opaque gambier, crafters of flying musical instruments, producers of marning, producers of cassava crackers, to producers of snacks. In addition, on Thursday (16/9), TPM also documented the potential of a cultural carnival in commemoration of the 64th anniversary of the death of Mbah Moedjair, the inventor of the tilapia fish who died on Saturday, September 7, 1957. The carnival was carried out in a simple manner starting from the Papungan Village Head’s Office to Mbah Moedjair’s grave in the Papungan hamlet public cemetery area.
After completing a series of agendas in Papungan Village, finally, the digital promotional materials dedicated to Papungan Village were completed. To see the work of TPM State University of Malang while in Papungan Village, it can be seen on Youtube (adv/ynu).
