Building Interpersonal Communication Skills in the Digital Age for Vocational Students in South Jakarta

Interpersonal communication skills are a person's ability to establish personal relationships with others directly well. Amid the rampant development of communication and information technology today, interpersonal communication skills on the one hand are needed but on the other hand face challenges. In the digital age, people tend to prefer to communicate with others using social media rather than communicating face-to-face in person. People prefer using social media rather than socializing with others. As a result, interpersonal communication skills become undeveloped and inhibited. Among students, interpersonal communication skills are needed for self development and soft skills, especially in building positive relationships with friends, teachers, family, and the social environment where they are. This Community Partnership Program offers solutions to build interpersonal communication skills among students of Al Falah Mampang Prapatan Vocational High School (SMK), South Jakarta. The results of this program show that students become more familiar with the concept of interpersonal communication skills, consider it important to have interpersonal communication skills, and are motivated to improve their interpersonal communication skills

NU Online represents Pancasila as Islamic, there is no conflict between Islam and Pancasila. The discourse that represented by suaramuhammadiyah.id and NU Online is a counter-discourse about the Islamic State which is disoursed by radical Muslim groups in Indonesia

The practice of discourse shows that the understanding is backed by the reality that the plurality of religion as Sunnatullah, and its practice in its Muamalah context. Contextually understanding of Muhammadiyah is based on various forms of discrimination against minority groups. Muhammadiyah’s understanding of tolerance to non-Muslims can be used as a counterdiscourse of the understanding of radical Islamist groups that considers non-Muslims as enemies to be fought
