Abstract

Environmental education in schools is the application of education which includes knowledge, awareness
and action. Environmental education applied by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) is the
Adiwiyata Program. This program has the potential to raise school community awareness of the
environment. This study aims to analyze the role of Adiwiyata in building environmental awareness and
culture of school residents. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods and uses participatory data
collection techniques, interviews and documentation. The results of the study showed that the Adiwiyata
program contributed positively to school achievement in the environmental field. SMPN 2 Gurah, Kediri is
a favorite school because it has a high concern, creativity and school innovation in the field of environment
is very varied such as handmade batik with natural dyes, the development of local products such as passion
fruit syrup, passion fruits and passion fruit preserves, and various waste recycling products to produce
high economic value. Schools that are able to make good use of all available spaces, both indoors and
outdoors for environmental learning while being able to involve the active participation of all school
members will be better able to build schools that are environmentally friendly and cultured.
