PENGEMBANGAN DESA WISATA DI DESA MOJOREJO, KECAMATAN KARANGMALANG, KABUPATEN SRAGEN

Mojorejo Village, Karangmalang District, Sragen Regency is a village where the majority of the population are Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI). Mojorejo Village has been made a Productive Migrant Village (desmigratif) by the Ministry of Manpower and together with other ministries assisting the village so that it really becomes a productive village. PMI who had returned to the village then formed a group/community called the Indonesian Migrant Family (KAMI). This group carries out productive work in various businesses with assistance from related agencies. However, in the course of the program, many people have not been able to be productive and independent. On the one hand, Mojorejo Village also has tourism potential that has not been fully developed to increase the economic income of its citizens. Therefore, the UNS service team together with the Mojorejo Village community initiated the development of a tourist village. The objectives of this service program are (1) to analyze the potential of village resources, (2) to increase the capacity of rural communities, and (3) to develop tourism potential through community empowerment. The method used is a participatory approach. As a first step, the activity begins with identifying tourism potentials, knowing social and social conditions, knowing natural and human resources, knowing market potentials, helping communities make business plans, and opening networks. The result of this service activity is to carry out village branding in Mojorejo Village which is transformed from a Migrant Village to a Tourism Village.Desa Mojorejo, Kecamatan Karangmalang, Kabupaten Sragen merupakan sebuah desa dengan mayoritas penduduknya merupakan Pekerja Migran Indonesia (PMI). Desa Mojorejo telah dijadikan Desa Migran Produktif (desmigratif) oleh Kementerian Tenaga Kerja dan bersama dengan kementerian lain mendampingi desa ini sehingga benar-benar menjadi desa yang produktif. PMI yang telah pulang ke desa kemudian membentuk kelompok/komunitas yang diberi nama Keluarga Migran Indonesia (KAMI). Kelompok ini melakukan kerja-kerja produktif diberbagai usaha dengan pendampingan dinas-dinas terkait. Akan tetapi dalam keberjalanan program tersebut, banyak masyarakat yang belum mampu produktif dan mandiri. Di satu sisi, Desa Mojorejo juga memiliki potensi wisata yang belum dikembangkan dengan maksimal untuk meningkatkan pendapatan ekonomi warganya. Oleh karena itu, tim pengabdian UNS bersama masyarakat Desa Mojorejo menginisiasi pengembangan desa wisata. Tujuan dari program pengabdian ini yaitu (1) Analisis potensi sumber daya desa, (2) Sebagai peningkatan kapasitas masyarakat desa, dan (3) Sebagai pengembangan potensi wisata melalui pemberdayaan masyarakat. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan partisipatori. Sebagai langkah awal, kegiatan pengabdian dimulai dengan mengidentifikasi potensi daya tarik wisata, identifikasi kondisi sosial dan kelembagaan, identifikasi sumber daya alam dan manusia, identifikasi potensi pasar, mendampingi masyarakat membuat business plan, dan identifikasi promosi dan jejaring. Hasil dari kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah melakukan village Branding di Desa Mojorejo yang bertransformasi dari Desa Migran menjadi Desa Wisata.

Tradycja i zmiana – rytuały bożonarodzeniowe i ich znaczenie dla młodych polskich rodzin

The first generation of Polish migrants in Germany in the 1980s and 1990s sought to improve the economic situation of their families and tried to blend in with German society. Only their descendants managed to do so. They experienced the upward mobility that their parents expected of them. However, they were not prepared for the generational change related to it. The change involved the transformation of the cultural capital in the migrant family. The article presents an analysis of the intergenerational transmissions in Polish families in Germany, based on autobiographical interviews with the second generation of migrants. The article explains why the eff orts of the first generation to build a life in Germany did not translate into a happy family life. Neither did it bring enough economic resources for the first generation to pass economic capital to descendants. Social capital turned out to be a strong feature of Polish families. The supportive role of grandmothers and other family members has often proved to be of a huge value. Paradoxically, the absence of their parents gave their children a lot of freedom and free time to build their own networks of friends. The article also draws attention to the negative dimension of social capital in Polish families. It manifests itself in limiting expectations and pressure exerted by the family on the second generation.

STORYTELLING AND DIGITAL ART AS A MEANS TO IMPROVE MULTILINGUAL SKILLS

The use of storytelling and digital art as tools to understand a migrant family’s life path will be in the center of an innovative methodology that will ensure the acquisition of multilingual skills and the development of plurilingual awareness, reinforcing the various dimensions of language (aesthetic and emotional, in addition to cognitive), in a creative, collaborative and interdisciplinary work environment. This is especially important among students who are not likely to receive further language training. It is not yet clear how teachers can explore multilingual experiences of learners, both in terms of language learning dimensions but also related with the multiple cognitive connections and representations, as well as to the awareness of language diversity. The JASM (Janela aberta sobre o mundo: línguas estrangeiras, criatividade multimodal e inovação pedagógica no ensino superior) project involves a group of students of the 1st cycle in Media Studies, from the School of Education of Viseu, who will work using photography, digital art and cultural communication, collecting information pertaining to diversified cultural and linguistic contexts of the city of Viseu (Beira Alta, Portugal), both in French and English, centered on a tradition or ritual of a migrant family. Based on an interview, students write the story (in French and English) of the life of migrants and use photography to highlight the most relevant aspect of the migrant’s family life. Using as a starting point an object associated with religion, tradition or a ritual, students create an animated film, in both languages. This approach will allow the exploration of culture and digital scenography, integrating in an innovative interdisciplinary pathway, digital art, multilingual skills and multicultural awareness. Students’ learning progress and teacher roles are assessed during this process, using tests from the beginning to the end of the project.

‘Everyday Bordering’ in England, Sweden and Bulgaria: Social Work Decision-Making Processes When Working with Migrant Family Members

The global movement of people is a growing feature of contemporary life, and it is essential that professionals providing support services know how to best engage with migrant families. However, despite globalisation and the related processes of de-bordering, borders continue to remain significant and, in contemporary life, the ways in which immigration is controlled and surveilled—bureaucratically and symbolically—are multiple. The paper draws on data gathered in the immediate period following the so called 2015 European ‘migration crisis’ and examines whether and in what ways social workers in three European countries—Bulgaria, Sweden and England—enact bordering in their work with migrant family members. We apply the concept of ‘everyday bordering’ to the data set: whilst borders are traditionally physical and at the boundary between nation states, bordering practices increasingly permeate everyday life in bureaucratic and symbolic forms. Overall, the data show that everyday bordering affects social work practice in three ways: by social workers being required to engage in bordering as an everyday practice; by producing conditions that require social workers to negotiate borders; and in revealing aspects of symbolic everyday bordering. Our analyses shows that ‘everyday bordering’ practices are present in social work decision-making processes in each country, but the forms they take vary across contexts. Analysis also indicates that, in each country, social workers recognise the ways in which immigration control can impact on the families with whom they work but that they can also inadvertently contribute to the ‘othering’ of migrant populations.

Legal Care and Friction in Family Detention

The modern instantiation of migrant family detention in the United States has resulted in the creation of carceral spaces in which conflict and care intermingle in everyday encounters. While legal advocates traversing these spaces offer critical aid to the detained, asylum-seeking parents and children confined within, legal advocacy is rarely recognized as caregiving work. Drawing from my ethnographic research with voluntary legal advocates working at family detention facilities in South Texas, this article demonstrates the potential for deploying a lens of care to such encounters, which I ultimately frame as “legal care.” I argue that cross-disciplinary conceptualizations of care, which emphasize its interdependency, relationality, and contested terrains (Puig de la Bellacasa 2017), as well as its practices as being marked by a continuous tinkering (Mol 2010), offer windows to reconfigurations of care and power that reside amid both the mundane and unpredictable frictions that characterize these environments.

DEKONSTRUKSI KEKUASAAN DALAM KELUARGA PEKERJA MIGRAN INDONESIA DALAM PERSPEKTIF PETER M. BLAU

Migration is one of population studies which has been widely reviewed, particularly labor migration between countries. A booming labor movement recently, gives no small contribution for the country through remittances. However, labor migration, women migrant workers in particular, has its own consequences in the form of changes that occur not only at community level but also at family level. This study attempts to portray power in the migrant family after the wife migrates. The approach used in this study was qualitative with the perspective of Peter M Blau Social Exchange. The results of the study reveal that migration done by women migrant workers changes the power in the family, that is power destruction in the form of domination on the final decision in the family. An increase in economy in line with an increase or even a strengthening in bargaining position of women to men in the family. In this level, Economy is the major determinant of the change. Whereas, the knowledge obtained by the women while being overseas is the minor determinant in the social exchange to husband.Keywords: Power Deconstruction, Women Migrant Worker, Bargaining Position
