Batik is an Indonesian cultural heritage recognized by UNESCO in 2009 as a Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Among its various forms, hand-drawn batik is considered the most intricate and culturally rich. This community engagement program took place in Giriloyo Batik Village, Wukirsari Village, Imogiri, Bantul, Yogyakarta, a village renowned for preserving traditional batik skills. Conducted on 21 May 2025, the activity included preparation, socialization, production, monitoring and evaluation sessions led by local artisans. The participants were introduced to each step of the batik-making process: cloth preparation (pengemplongan), sketching (nyorek), wax removal (nglowong and nembok), coloring (medel and nyoga), and wax removal (nglorod). This experience provided insight into the technical and cultural aspects of batik. The program strengthened the community's appreciation of written batik as a cultural heritage and emphasized the need for documentation and education to support cultural sustainability in the Giriloyo community.
