Abstract

This study examines the role of Madrasah Aliyah Kertabumi in Ciamis Regency as a center for community education and training in building multiculturalism in rural areas. The main focus of this research is the integration of the values of peace, empowerment, and tolerance in the madrasah curriculum as well as the learning strategies used to increase multicultural awareness among students. In addition, this study explores the contribution of madrasas in educating the surrounding community about the importance of the values of diversity and social harmony. The study also examined various community-based training programs developed by madrassas to improve the economic and social empowerment of rural communities.

The results of the study show that madrassas play an important role in teaching multicultural education through participatory learning methods, character strengthening, and the integration of inclusivity values in the curriculum. Madrassas also contribute to community development through socialization activities, agricultural and livestock-based skills training, and entrepreneurship programs for students and the community. However, madrassas face challenges such as limited resources, cultural resistance, and lack of support for multicultural education policies. However, there is a great opportunity to build synergy between madrasas, the government, and the community to strengthen inclusive education in rural areas. This study recommends optimizing the multicultural curriculum, increasing teacher capacity, and strengthening collaboration with stakeholders to expand the social impact of madrasas in building a tolerant and empowered society
