Fostering Inclusive and Sustainable Leadership: Empowering

Abstract

This community service activity aimed to build inclusive and sustainable leadership through the Seminar Serantau Isu-Isu Komuniti (SSIK 2025). The background of this program was based on the urgency of leadership that embraces diversity, fosters psychological safety, and guides communities toward long-term sustainable goals. The method used consisted of lectures and interactive discussions, conducted at Dayah Wakaf Barbate, Kebun Kurma Blang Bintang, involving academics, students (santri), and the community. The results of the activity demonstrated that the collaboration between Universitas Abulyatama, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Universitas Halu Oleo, and Dayah Wakaf Barbate had a positive impact on improving students’ understanding of inclusive leadership, legal awareness, and socio-religious values. The speakers emphasized the importance of critical thinking, gratitude, and wise use of technology to ensure that it does not erode the values of togetherness. Moreover, Dayah Wakaf Barbate served as a tangible example of community care in nurturing resilient Qur’anic generations. In conclusion, this activity successfully inspired the emergence of young leaders who are inclusive, fair, and committed to community sustainability.
