ABSTRACT

Previous research has shown that murals can be used for social campaigns to mobilize certain elements of society. This paper discusses the application of murals and signage as part of a zero-waste campaign for vocational school students in Bandung as one of the supports for face-to-face learning in the context of the new normal after the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. A partner in implementing this campaign is a vocational school focusing on chemistry and pharmacy education. This research is considered qualitative research, which aims to obtain the development of a campaign form that is suitable for use in vocational education. This research uses a participatory methodology to support the development of murals and signage that will be used. The results obtained from this study indicate that the vocational school is target community was very enthusiastic during this research project. The murals being made deliver a message of a zero-waste campaign. In addition, the murals and signage that have been developed have proven to be able to form a positive environmental atmosphere for the target school community. This research is an initial study regarding the impact of murals on education, especially in vocational education. In the future, it is hoped that this research can be replicated in other schools to obtain more experimental samples.
