Analysis of Citizenship Character Education in Building a Generation Concerned with Environmental and Social Issues

This research examines citizenship character education as a strategy to build a generation that is concerned about environmental and social issues. By delving into citizenship values such as responsibility, empathy, and justice, character education is expected to create individuals who are not only aware of their environment but also actively contribute to society. Citizenship Education (PKn) plays a crucial role in shaping individuals’ characters who care about environmental and social matters. This study aims to analyze the extent to which PKn contributes to building a youth generation that has awareness and concrete actions to preserve the environment and care for others. Through literature review and case studies, this research will identify factors influencing the success of PKn in achieving these goals, as well as provide recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of PKn learning in the context of character development. The results indicate that the integration of character education into the curriculum produces a generation that is more sensitive and proactive in preserving environmental sustainability and improving social welfare.
