Irfai Fathurohman — 2024-12-15

It is important for the expression and mentality of the visually impaired to be given space to develop according to their talents and interests. The limitations of the visually impaired in expressing emotions and mental conditions are due to minimal access to communication and expression media. This condition can affect the psychological well-being of the visually impaired including self-confidence and the ability to interact effectively with the social environment. Poetry therapy, as a form of art literacy, has the potential to be an effective medium to help improve the mental expression of the visually impaired. This community service program aims to provide space for the visually impaired to channel emotions, explore creative potential, and improve mental well-being through poetry. Poetry therapy activities were carried out at the PPSDN (Social Service Center for the Visually Disabled) Pendowo, Kudus Regency, involving 14 visually impaired. The methods used included training sessions for writing and reading poetry, group therapy, and reading poetry in an open forum. Program evaluation was carried out through observation, interviews, and analysis of the poetry works of the visually impaired. The results of the activities showed a significant increase in the ability of the visually impaired to express feelings verbally and non-verbally. In addition, Netra's sensory disabilities also show developments in aspects of self-confidence, creative thinking skills, and social involvement.

Qianqian Gao — 2024-11-11

With the acceleration of globalization, the education sector has also undergone significant changes. The technological advancements, economic development, political influences, and cultural exchanges brought about by globalization have had a profound impact on educational planning. This paper aims to explore the effects of globalization on the internationalization of education systems, teaching methods, the distribution of educational resources, and the mobility of students and teachers, analyzing the challenges and opportunities these changes present. Through a literature review, this paper systematically studies the transformations in the internationalization of education in the context of globalization. The research finds that localized internationalization promotes the sharing of educational resources and diversifies educational opportunities but also exacerbates the uneven distribution of educational resources and creates conflicts between cultural homogenization and educational localization. The paper argues that localized internationalization will become the main pathway for the internationalization of vocational education. Government departments should play an active role in policy response, promoting the diversified development of vocational education and providing practical guidance for the localized internationalization reform of vocational education in China.
