The Association of English Literature Department Students (AEDS) is one of the student organizations active in community service programs in the Desa Mitra. With the spirit of togetherness and concern for the community, the Association of English Literature Department Student (AEDS) took the initiative to make a positive contribution to the field of education, especially in Islamic schools and local mosques. Through this program, student members of AEDS can play a role as agents of change who help improve access and quality of education for children and youth in Desa Mitra.
To help education in Islamic Schools, AEDS presents various activities such as tutoring, English teaching, and educational discussions. Student members of AEDS can play a role as facilitators who provide additional learning to students of islamic school with interactive and interesting methods. Discussion sessions related to the importance of education and future opportunities for students were also presented, so as to encourage their learning motivation.
Furthermore, AEDS is also involved in educational activities at the mosque, a place that holds significant importance in Desa Mitra. They deliver religious education, literacy and other skills programmes that are relevant to the needs of the local community. Through the support from lecturers and educators in Desa Mitra, AEDS has succeeded in creating a conducive and inclusive learning environment for all communities, regardless of differences in backgrounds.
This community service programme not only produces benefits for the people of Desa Mitra, but also has a positive impact on student members of AEDS. They learn to collaborate, adapt to new environments, and develop empathy and concern for community needs. With making this programme sustainable, AEDS hopes to be an agent of change that brings greater positive impact to the local community and interprets the important role of students in social development.
