Abstract :
This essay examines the results of peer editing
workshop sessions that were specifically meant to
enhance the cultural consciousness of young individuals
regarding traditional societies. The workshops were done
in an art community building in Sidoarjo East Java and
in the Faculty of Humanities, Airlangga University
Surabaya, and were followed by 30 participants from
East Java and its surrounding. The importance of peer
editing was emphasized as a collaborative approach to
enhance writing proficiency, foster critical thinking,
promote self-assessment, boost writing self-assurance,
and develop effective communication talents. The
concept of wayang, a form of traditional puppet theater,
served as a unifying element for the participants'
individual narratives. The workshop methodology
encompassed several stages, including initial
composition, participant grouping, thorough evaluation,
constructive feedback, collaborative talks, and iterative
revisions. The participants showed enhancements in
their critical thinking and self-assessment abilities, as
well as an improvement in their engagement with the
writing process. Additionally, they experienced a boost in
their confidence in writing through collaborative efforts
and honed their collaborative and communication skills
which are pertinent in the context of the digital era. The
event emphasized the potential of cooperation in
fostering critical thinking and enhancing writing abilities
by integrating cultural heritage with contemporary
approaches, so promoting the overall development and
empowerment of participants.
