ABSTRACT

The low level of literacy and the development of technology in Indonesia has various impacts on society, especially children and adolescents. There are still children who do not really understand the culture of reading and writing to develop themselves. By today, technological developments have made children and adolescents start using social media, both at school and home. To avoid the misuse or negative impact of social media for children and adolescents, as well as to increase reading and writing literacy, workshops and socialization will be held regarding reading and social media literacy. This activity is in collaboration between Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia, Titian Foundation and STIKOM Yogyakarta. Reading and social media literacy workshops were conducted at Titian Foundation CLC Kaliurang, Yogyakarta for elementary school students. Meanwhile, a social media literacy workshop for high school students is carried out at Titian Foundation CLC Bayat, Klaten. The implementation method for reading literacy is done through reading fairy tale books and writing them in the form of lyrics to be sung to the accompaniment of hip-hop music. Social media workshop at Titian Foundation Bayat is carried out by the explanation of concept, providing examples through videos, discussing cases through, and sharing experiences in using social media. Participants who attended both Kaliurang and Bayat showed good enthusiasm and increasingly understood the importance of reading, writing and being wise in using social media.
