Abstract

The mosque youth are the next generation whose presence is highly needed for the development and guidance of young people in enhancing Islamic education and making the mosque a center for nurturing faith, character, brotherhood, knowledge, skills, culture, and the civilization of the Muslim community. A Training and Utilization of Digital Technology for Mosque Youth in Maros Regency was held on Wednesday, July 9, 2024. This event took place in Manuruki Hamlet, Minasabaji Village, Bantimurung District. The aim of this activity was to train mosque youth to use digital technology in a healthy and productive way. The event was attended by 20 participants, consisting of teenagers and children, and received full support from 20 parents who also participated in this community service activity. The event was opened by the Chairman of the BPKRMI (Badan Komunikasi Pemuda Remaja Masjid Indonesia) of Maros Regency, who fully appreciated that this event could be held in Maros Regency. Participants were trained to edit photos and videos using Canva during the event. Additionally, participants were educated on accessing positive educational and social content through various apps. The expected outcomes were achieved, including an increase in the mosque youth's knowledge about safe internet use, digital literacy, and the ability to produce positive content along with its supporting applications. This event also fostered a good partnership between the Indonesian Mosque Youth Communication Body (BKPRMI) of Maros Regency and Ujung Pandang State Polytechnic.
