The partner's problems include only recognizing batik motifs as one of Indonesia's cultural heritages, even though there are many other motifs that are the wealth of Indonesia such as the Lontara script motif. Therefore, the service team offered a solution to show and provided additional knowledge related to the Lontara Aksara motif on fabrics and clothing. The method of implementing this service used counseling and direct practice.

This activity received a very good response from the participants and the local government. The service team introduced the richness of Indonesian culture in the form of script motifs that are created in innovative textile crafts.
