Introduction
Social transformation in the digital age, especially in the context of raising awareness
of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. This sustainable development is an article about
social transformation in the digital era, which aims to raise awareness of the Sustainable
Development Goals in 2030, in addition to providing quality education. Efforts to succeed this
sustainable development require human resources who are ready to implement it.
The generation that is so attached to the digital era or commonly called digital native
consists of generations Y and Z. The current all-digital era is slowly changing the way of
thinking by They like information that is short, concise and clear due to the advancement of
technology. The native generation is the people who will implement sustainable development
in 2030. The demographic that occurs needs to be utilized as well as possible in order to
support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. This is done by educating
human resources with information literacy skills. This general literacy is the main activity for
the Sustainable Development Goals (Republika.co.id, 2018). The potential demographic
bonus is a golden opportunity for Indonesia for current and future development. Finding
effective methods can make people, especially digital natives, become literate and get quality
education as one of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Human development refers to the concept of sustainable development. It is defined as
the combined optimization of the use of natural and human resources in current and future
development. This sustainable development enables people to fulfill their needs. The world
will overcome poverty, inequality and change through concrete actions. There are 17
Sustainable Development Goals (Wahudi, Azwari, Alfajir, Ditaceptiani): (a) No poverty, (b)
No hunger, (c) Healthy and prosperous lives, (d) (e) gender equality (Anthony & Patra, 2022);
(f) clean water and adequate sanitation; (g) clean and affordable energy; and (h) decent work
and economy. (j) reducing inequality, (k) sustainable cities and communications, (l)
responsible consumption and production, and (m) addressing climate change (Jayanto, Zid &
Dewi, 2018). (n) Marine ecosystems, conservation and sustainable use of oceans, seas and
marine resources, (o) terrestrial ecosystems (Wulansari, Darumurti & Eldo, 2017). (p) peace,
justice and strong institutions; (q) partnerships to achieve our goals (Cop, 2021).
To achieve this sustainable development are the following indicators (Alisjahbana &
Murniningtiyas, 2018): (a) Environmentally sustainable, we must strive for: 1) Environmental
order and diversity maintain integrity; Earth system to ensure this, and 3) conservation of
biodiversity. (b) economic sustainability (Setianingtias, Baiquni, Kurniawan, 2019); 1)
Macroeconomics, 2) Sectoral Economy. (c) Socio-cultural Sustainability (Ramadlan, 2013):
1) stabilize the population, 2) meeting basic human needs, 3) maintaining cultural diversity, 4)
encouraging community participation; (d) political sustainability, and (e) sustainable defense
and security (Hidayat, 2017).
Globalization issues are important to achieve technology-based goals for sustainable
development. In the digital era and global competition, the challenges and opportunities for
improving the quality of education are becoming increasingly complex. Therefore, this
strategy becomes very important in supporting the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) in Indonesia. The goal of inclusive education is to provide
quality education to individuals without discrimination. For developing countries like
Indonesia, realizing science and technology-based inclusive education is still a challenge.
Education is a key element in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in Indonesia. The
concept of technology developers and operating system developers starting from design
theory can refer to green technology. In the digital era, activities related to technology
development can be in the form of hardware and software development. Examples of
technology optimization in the financial world include the provision of digital financial
services such as Dana, Gopay, OVO, and QRIS. These developments change manual
payments by moving them to digital wallets, thus making life easier for users. The concept of
SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) and sustainable development has been defined in
various ways; these SDGs should provide solutions that meet the needs of humanity.
Methods
To investigate the role of social media in raising awareness of the 2030 Sustainable
Development Goals in the digital age, this paper uses a literature review methodology. An
important part of research is reviewing previous studies, also known as literature review. In
addition to showing the development of theories and related research areas, a review of
previous studies will provide a strong foundation for contributing to scholarship.
According to the European Journal of Information Systems, a literature study is a
study that combines previous knowledge in a field of knowledge, shows differences, points of
interest, and gaps from various points of view, and then provides direction for future research.
(Rowe, 2014).
Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is one of the literature review approaches
designed to reduce researcher bias and produce more objective literature studies. Systematic
Literature Review (SLR) focuses on the search process, which can be replicated by other
researchers because of its clear and detailed procedures. (Priharsari, 2022).
A literature review is the same as presenting various findings of previous research on
the same issue. It is also, on the other hand, to resolve various issues that arise when starting a
research. Literature review also involves written summaries of articles from journals, books,
and other documents that explain theories and information both past and present. Literature
review can also be defined as a researcher's effort to find and collect various information
related to the problem to be studied. (Hariningsih, 2014: 8). Based on this definition, it can be
concluded that literature studies do not aim to develop theories, but rather to explain and
classify previous research findings. However, as a research method, literature review still has
the opportunity to develop theory. Part of the literature review process is the collection and
selection of literature that is most relevant to the research subject. After that, the research is
conducted thoroughly to find various arguments, perspectives and findings that can support or
challenge the role of social media in achieving sustainable development goals.
The literature review approach was chosen because it allowed for the incorporation of
various perspectives that have been published on this topic. By looking at relevant literature
from books, scientific journals, and research reports, the author sought to find important
trends, arguments, and findings that could aid better understanding.
Results And Discussion
Analyzing the role of Social Media in Raising Awareness of the 2030 Sustainable
Development Goals
In this discussion, we will outline the important role of social media in driving social
transformation in this digital era, focusing on how social media can be an effective tool to
raise awareness and to support the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
The following are some of the roles of social media in improving SDG 2030 that have been
found in this research:
The role of social media as a tool for public education
In an increasingly connected digital age, the role of social media in supporting
education is crucial. With the entry of technology into education, there are many new
opportunities to build a more inclusive and high-quality learning system. Issues such as
distance and limited access to educational resources can now be overcome with advances in
information and communication technology. UNESCO emphasizes that technology is critical
in improving access to education globally, especially for people living in remote places.
Technology can also help students who have special needs, such as the deaf or blind,
learn on their own. Interactive simulations can help students understand abstract concepts and
acquire practical skills, while mobile and video learning applications can provide easy and
flexible access to learning materials. (Ramadhani, 2023)
In addition, technology-based inclusive education can help Indonesia achieve the 2030
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as it can reduce the education gap and teach children
the skills needed to face global challenges such as the industrial revolution 4.0 and global
issues such as poverty and climate change. This is in line with the constructivism theory of
education, which focuses on the active role of students in the learning process. According to
this theory, students acquire their own knowledge through active and interactive learning
experiences with their environment. In situations like this, technology can be a useful tool to
help students expand their knowledge. Students can process and access data in an easier and
interactive way with the help of advanced technology. For example, videos and animations,
which are examples of technology-based learning media, can help students in understanding
concepts that are more visual and interactive (Verrawati & Mustadi, 2018).
In this case, social media serves as a good tool to help students learn. Appropriate and
innovative technologies such as social media platforms allow students to access data or
information more easily and interactively. For example, video sharing platforms such as
YouTube or visual content sharing platforms such as Instagram and Pinterest can be used to
provide a variety of engaging learning resources. Students can access educational content
such as learning videos, infographics, images and other content in a more visual and
interactive way through social media. In addition, online discussions can improve students'
understanding and knowledge as well as engagement in the learning process by enabling the
exchange of ideas and experiences between students, teachers and experts in a particular field.
Utilizing social media as an additional learning resource can help students expand their
knowledge and understanding of various topics, including sustainable development goals. It
creates a more inclusive and collaborative learning environment where students can work
together and learn independently.
The role of social media in information dissemination
The Industrial Revolution 4.0, characterized by the incorporation of digital technology
into production and communication processes, has changed the way we share information in
today's digital age. This transformation has had a significant impact on information
dissemination, especially through social media and other online platforms. A new profession
that has emerged in the 21st century is often called influencer. Where an influncer is a
phenomenon that is closely related to digital natives. Influencers often have a strong
experience and understanding of online dynamics before they can successfully influence their
audiences in a big way through social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube and
TikTok.
The characteristics of the digital native generation have a new way of socializing,
namely by using social media. This phenomenon can be utilized by librarians to become
influencers. The use of social media for libraries today is not new. Libraries usually use social
media to promote their collections and services. However, with the development of a digital
society that can hardly be separated from the internet, social media seems to be able to be
used for much greater purposes than just promotional media.(Kurniasih, 2016).
With influencer librarians providing education to digital natives through social media
in the form of information repackaging, Indonesian human resources are expected to get
quality education. Coupled with the ease of understanding information that has been
repackaged, the public will have information literacy skills which will then implement the
information obtained from influencer librarians. For SDGs to be successful, it also requires
awareness by Indonesian human resources, especially those who are literate, to support
sustainable development. So that influencer librarians also need to provide education in
instilling the main values of the Sustainable Development Goals. (Krismayani, 2019)
The role of influencer librarians in providing information or education has a positive
impact although it still has some challenges to form a bond with the public especially digital
natives, they provide information that is easy to understand and encourage people to
implement environmentally friendly and sustainable practices with their skills in repackaging
information and active presence on social media. Influencer librarians can help improve
people's information literacy and form a better understanding of important social and
environmental issues. However, it is not only influencer librarians who spread quality
information and sustainable development principles on social media. Individuals active on
social media, online communities, businesses, public figures and celebrities also play a role.
They each have the ability to spread relevant content and help raise public awareness of these
important issues.
The role of social media in advocacy campaigns
Advocacy campaigns on social media are efforts to support an issue or voice a cause
using social media features and tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others.
Organizations, individuals, and community groups can leverage social media to spread
messages, encourage support, and drive action.
Instagram is one of the most influential social media in communication and data
exchange activities. The organization conducts campaign activities on its Instagram account,
@greenpeaceid, with the aim of informing Instagram users about environmental damage that
occurs specifically in Indonesia and increasing public awareness to preserve the environment.
(Fadli & Sazali, 2023)
The Instagram account @greepeaceid shared a post about how the indigenous people
of Grime Nawa, Papua, take good care of their environment. The information on the post tells
about the various kinds of living things that exist in their area and how indigenous people
today live peacefully and in friendship with their environment. In addition, the public also
gave positive comments on the upload, which shows that protecting nature is a gift from God,
which is a good thing to do together. (Fadli & Sazali, 2023)
The situation in Grime Nawa, Papua, in this context shows how important indigenous
peoples are in environmental conservation. For years, indigenous people in the area have been
protecting the environment by living a peaceful and eco-friendly lifestyle. This information
was shared through @greenpeaceid's Instagram account, showing how social media can also
be used to promote environmental conservation principles and raise their voices. The positive
public response to @greenpeaceid's posts shows public awareness of the importance of nature
conservation. This is in line with one of the goals of the 2030 SDGs, which is to increase
public awareness of sustainability issues.
Social media helps in achieving the goals as it enables rapid and wide dissemination of
information. In accordance with the principles of SDGs 2030, advocacy campaigns driven by
social media have the potential to mobilize larger movements to support indigenous peoples'
rights and environmental conservation. This campaign can gain significant support and action
from various parties, which is an important step in achieving sustainable development goals.

exchange of ideas and experiences between students, teachers and experts in a particular field.
Utilizing social media as an additional learning resource can help students expand their
knowledge and understanding of various topics, including sustainable development goals. It
creates a more inclusive and collaborative learning environment where students can work
together and learn independently.
The role of social media in information dissemination
The Industrial Revolution 4.0, characterized by the incorporation of digital technology
into production and communication processes, has changed the way we share information in
today's digital age. This transformation has had a significant impact on information
dissemination, especially through social media and other online platforms. A new profession
that has emerged in the 21st century is often called influencer. Where an influncer is a
phenomenon that is closely related to digital natives. Influencers often have a strong
experience and understanding of online dynamics before they can successfully influence their
audiences in a big way through social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube and
TikTok.
The characteristics of the digital native generation have a new way of socializing,
namely by using social media. This phenomenon can be utilized by librarians to become
influencers. The use of social media for libraries today is not new. Libraries usually use social
media to promote their collections and services. However, with the development of a digital
society that can hardly be separated from the internet, social media seems to be able to be
used for much greater purposes than just promotional media.(Kurniasih, 2016).
With influencer librarians providing education to digital natives through social media
in the form of information repackaging, Indonesian human resources are expected to get
quality education. Coupled with the ease of understanding information that has been
repackaged, the public will have information literacy skills which will then implement the
information obtained from influencer librarians. For SDGs to be successful, it also requires
awareness by Indonesian human resources, especially those who are literate, to support
sustainable development. So that influencer librarians also need to provide education in
instilling the main values of the Sustainable Development Goals. (Krismayani, 2019)
The role of influencer librarians in providing information or education has a positive
impact although it still has some challenges to form a bond with the public especially digital
natives, they provide information that is easy to understand and encourage people to
implement environmentally friendly and sustainable practices with their skills in repackaging
information and active presence on social media. Influencer librarians can help improve
people's information literacy and form a better understanding of important social and
environmental issues. However, it is not only influencer librarians who spread quality
information and sustainable development principles on social media. Individuals active on
social media, online communities, businesses, public figures and celebrities also play a role.
They each have the ability to spread relevant content and help raise public awareness of these
important issues.
The role of social media in advocacy campaigns
Advocacy campaigns on social media are efforts to support an issue or voice a cause
using social media features and tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others.
Organizations, individuals, and community groups can leverage social media to spread
messages, encourage support, and drive action.
Instagram is one of the most influential social media in communication and data
exchange activities. The organization conducts campaign activities on its Instagram account,
@greenpeaceid, with the aim of informing Instagram users about environmental damage that
occurs specifically in Indonesia and increasing public awareness to preserve the environment.
(Fadli & Sazali, 2023)
The Instagram account @greepeaceid shared a post about how the indigenous people
of Grime Nawa, Papua, take good care of their environment. The information on the post tells
about the various kinds of living things that exist in their area and how indigenous people
today live peacefully and in friendship with their environment. In addition, the public also
gave positive comments on the upload, which shows that protecting nature is a gift from God,
which is a good thing to do together. (Fadli & Sazali, 2023)
The situation in Grime Nawa, Papua, in this context shows how important indigenous
peoples are in environmental conservation. For years, indigenous people in the area have been
protecting the environment by living a peaceful and eco-friendly lifestyle. This information
was shared through @greenpeaceid's Instagram account, showing how social media can also
be used to promote environmental conservation principles and raise their voices. The positive
public response to @greenpeaceid's posts shows public awareness of the importance of nature
conservation. This is in line with one of the goals of the 2030 SDGs, which is to increase
public awareness of sustainability issues.
Social media helps in achieving the goals as it enables rapid and wide dissemination of
information. In accordance with the principles of SDGs 2030, advocacy campaigns driven by
social media have the potential to mobilize larger movements to support indigenous peoples'
rights and environmental conservation. This campaign can gain significant support and action
from various parties, which is an important step in achieving sustainable development goals.

Analyzing the role of Social Media in Raising Awareness of the 2030 Sustainable
Development Goals
In this discussion, we will outline the important role of social media in driving social
transformation in this digital era, focusing on how social media can be an effective tool to
raise awareness and to support the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
The following are some of the roles of social media in improving SDG 2030 that have been
found in this research:
The role of social media as a tool for public education
In an increasingly connected digital age, the role of social media in supporting
education is crucial. With the entry of technology into education, there are many new
opportunities to build a more inclusive and high-quality learning system. Issues such as
distance and limited access to educational resources can now be overcome with advances in
information and communication technology. UNESCO emphasizes that technology is critical
in improving access to education globally, especially for people living in remote places.
Technology can also help students who have special needs, such as the deaf or blind,
learn on their own. Interactive simulations can help students understand abstract concepts and
acquire practical skills, while mobile and video learning applications can provide easy and
flexible access to learning materials. (Ramadhani, 2023)
In addition, technology-based inclusive education can help Indonesia achieve the 2030
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as it can reduce the education gap and teach children
the skills needed to face global challenges such as the industrial revolution 4.0 and global
issues such as poverty and climate change. This is in line with the constructivism theory of
education, which focuses on the active role of students in the learning process. According to
this theory, students acquire their own knowledge through active and interactive learning
experiences with their environment. In situations like this, technology can be a useful tool to
help students expand their knowledge. Students can process and access data in an easier and
interactive way with the help of advanced technology. For example, videos and animations,
which are examples of technology-based learning media, can help students in understanding
concepts that are more visual and interactive (Verrawati & Mustadi, 2018).
In this case, social media serves as a good tool to help students learn. Appropriate and
innovative technologies such as social media platforms allow students to access data or
information more easily and interactively. For example, video sharing platforms such as
YouTube or visual content sharing platforms such as Instagram and Pinterest can be used to
provide a variety of engaging learning resources. Students can access educational content
such as learning videos, infographics, images and other content in a more visual and
interactive way through social media. In addition, online discussions can improve students'
understanding and knowledge as well as engagement in the learning process by enabling the
exchange of ideas and experiences between students, teachers and experts in a particular field.

Analyzing the role of Social Media in Raising Awareness of the 2030 Sustainable
Development Goals
In this discussion, we will outline the important role of social media in driving social
transformation in this digital era, focusing on how social media can be an effective tool to
raise awareness and to support the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
The following are some of the roles of social media in improving SDG 2030 that have been
found in this research:
The role of social media as a tool for public education
In an increasingly connected digital age, the role of social media in supporting
education is crucial. With the entry of technology into education, there are many new
opportunities to build a more inclusive and high-quality learning system. Issues such as
distance and limited access to educational resources can now be overcome with advances in
information and communication technology. UNESCO emphasizes that technology is critical
in improving access to education globally, especially for people living in remote places.
Technology can also help students who have special needs, such as the deaf or blind,
learn on their own. Interactive simulations can help students understand abstract concepts and
acquire practical skills, while mobile and video learning applications can provide easy and
flexible access to learning materials. (Ramadhani, 2023)
In addition, technology-based inclusive education can help Indonesia achieve the 2030
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as it can reduce the education gap and teach children
the skills needed to face global challenges such as the industrial revolution 4.0 and global
issues such as poverty and climate change. This is in line with the constructivism theory of
education, which focuses on the active role of students in the learning process. According to
this theory, students acquire their own knowledge through active and interactive learning
experiences with their environment. In situations like this, technology can be a useful tool to
help students expand their knowledge. Students can process and access data in an easier and
interactive way with the help of advanced technology. For example, videos and animations,
which are examples of technology-based learning media, can help students in understanding
concepts that are more visual and interactive (Verrawati & Mustadi, 2018).
In this case, social media serves as a good tool to help students learn. Appropriate and
innovative technologies such as social media platforms allow students to access data or
information more easily and interactively. For example, video sharing platforms such as
YouTube or visual content sharing platforms such as Instagram and Pinterest can be used to
provide a variety of engaging learning resources. Students can access educational content
such as learning videos, infographics, images and other content in a more visual and
interactive way through social media. In addition, online discussions can improve students'
understanding and knowledge as well as engagement in the learning process by enabling the
exchange of ideas and experiences between students, teachers and experts in a particular field.
Utilizing social media as an additional learning resource can help students expand their
knowledge and understanding of various topics, including sustainable development goals. It
creates a more inclusive and collaborative learning environment where students can work
together and learn independently.
The role of social media in information dissemination
The Industrial Revolution 4.0, characterized by the incorporation of digital technology
into production and communication processes, has changed the way we share information in
today's digital age. This transformation has had a significant impact on information
dissemination, especially through social media and other online platforms. A new profession
that has emerged in the 21st century is often called influencer. Where an influncer is a
phenomenon that is closely related to digital natives. Influencers often have a strong
experience and understanding of online dynamics before they can successfully influence their
audiences in a big way through social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube and
TikTok.
The characteristics of the digital native generation have a new way of socializing,
namely by using social media. This phenomenon can be utilized by librarians to become
influencers. The use of social media for libraries today is not new. Libraries usually use social
media to promote their collections and services. However, with the development of a digital
society that can hardly be separated from the internet, social media seems to be able to be
used for much greater purposes than just promotional media.(Kurniasih, 2016).
With influencer librarians providing education to digital natives through social media
in the form of information repackaging, Indonesian human resources are expected to get
quality education. Coupled with the ease of understanding information that has been
repackaged, the public will have information literacy skills which will then implement the
information obtained from influencer librarians. For SDGs to be successful, it also requires
awareness by Indonesian human resources, especially those who are literate, to support
sustainable development. So that influencer librarians also need to provide education in
instilling the main values of the Sustainable Development Goals. (Krismayani, 2019)
The role of influencer librarians in providing information or education has a positive
impact although it still has some challenges to form a bond with the public especially digital
natives, they provide information that is easy to understand and encourage people to
implement environmentally friendly and sustainable practices with their skills in repackaging
information and active presence on social media. Influencer librarians can help improve
people's information literacy and form a better understanding of important social and
environmental issues. However, it is not only influencer librarians who spread quality
information and sustainable development principles on social media. Individuals active on
social media, online communities, businesses, public figures and celebrities also play a role.
They each have the ability to spread relevant content and help raise public awareness of these
important issues.
The role of social media in advocacy campaigns
Advocacy campaigns on social media are efforts to support an issue or voice a cause
using social media features and tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others.
Organizations, individuals, and community groups can leverage social media to spread
messages, encourage support, and drive action.
Instagram is one of the most influential social media in communication and data
exchange activities. The organization conducts campaign activities on its Instagram account,
@greenpeaceid, with the aim of informing Instagram users about environmental damage that
occurs specifically in Indonesia and increasing public awareness to preserve the environment.
(Fadli & Sazali, 2023)
The Instagram account @greepeaceid shared a post about how the indigenous people
of Grime Nawa, Papua, take good care of their environment. The information on the post tells
about the various kinds of living things that exist in their area and how indigenous people
today live peacefully and in friendship with their environment. In addition, the public also
gave positive comments on the upload, which shows that protecting nature is a gift from God,
which is a good thing to do together. (Fadli & Sazali, 2023)
The situation in Grime Nawa, Papua, in this context shows how important indigenous
peoples are in environmental conservation. For years, indigenous people in the area have been
protecting the environment by living a peaceful and eco-friendly lifestyle. This information
was shared through @greenpeaceid's Instagram account, showing how social media can also
be used to promote environmental conservation principles and raise their voices. The positive
public response to @greenpeaceid's posts shows public awareness of the importance of nature
conservation. This is in line with one of the goals of the 2030 SDGs, which is to increase
public awareness of sustainability issues.
Social media helps in achieving the goals as it enables rapid and wide dissemination of
information. In accordance with the principles of SDGs 2030, advocacy campaigns driven by
social media have the potential to mobilize larger movements to support indigenous peoples'
rights and environmental conservation. This campaign can gain significant support and action
from various parties, which is an important step in achieving sustainable development goals.

Analyzing the role of Social Media in Raising Awareness of the 2030 Sustainable
Development Goals
In this discussion, we will outline the important role of social media in driving social
transformation in this digital era, focusing on how social media can be an effective tool to
raise awareness and to support the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
The following are some of the roles of social media in improving SDG 2030 that have been
found in this research:
The role of social media as a tool for public education
In an increasingly connected digital age, the role of social media in supporting
education is crucial. With the entry of technology into education, there are many new
opportunities to build a more inclusive and high-quality learning system. Issues such as
distance and limited access to educational resources can now be overcome with advances in
information and communication technology. UNESCO emphasizes that technology is critical
in improving access to education globally, especially for people living in remote places.
Technology can also help students who have special needs, such as the deaf or blind,
learn on their own. Interactive simulations can help students understand abstract concepts and
acquire practical skills, while mobile and video learning applications can provide easy and
flexible access to learning materials. (Ramadhani, 2023)
In addition, technology-based inclusive education can help Indonesia achieve the 2030
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as it can reduce the education gap and teach children
the skills needed to face global challenges such as the industrial revolution 4.0 and global
issues such as poverty and climate change. This is in line with the constructivism theory of
education, which focuses on the active role of students in the learning process. According to
this theory, students acquire their own knowledge through active and interactive learning
experiences with their environment. In situations like this, technology can be a useful tool to
help students expand their knowledge. Students can process and access data in an easier and
interactive way with the help of advanced technology. For example, videos and animations,
which are examples of technology-based learning media, can help students in understanding
concepts that are more visual and interactive (Verrawati & Mustadi, 2018).
In this case, social media serves as a good tool to help students learn. Appropriate and
innovative technologies such as social media platforms allow students to access data or
information more easily and interactively. For example, video sharing platforms such as
YouTube or visual content sharing platforms such as Instagram and Pinterest can be used to
provide a variety of engaging learning resources. Students can access educational content
such as learning videos, infographics, images and other content in a more visual and
interactive way through social media. In addition, online discussions can improve students'
understanding and knowledge as well as engagement in the learning process by enabling the
exchange of ideas and experiences between students, teachers and experts in a particular field.
Utilizing social media as an additional learning resource can help students expand their
knowledge and understanding of various topics, including sustainable development goals. It
creates a more inclusive and collaborative learning environment where students can work
together and learn independently.
The role of social media in information dissemination
The Industrial Revolution 4.0, characterized by the incorporation of digital technology
into production and communication processes, has changed the way we share information in
today's digital age. This transformation has had a significant impact on information
dissemination, especially through social media and other online platforms. A new profession
that has emerged in the 21st century is often called influencer. Where an influncer is a
phenomenon that is closely related to digital natives. Influencers often have a strong
experience and understanding of online dynamics before they can successfully influence their
audiences in a big way through social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube and
TikTok.
The characteristics of the digital native generation have a new way of socializing,
namely by using social media. This phenomenon can be utilized by librarians to become
influencers. The use of social media for libraries today is not new. Libraries usually use social
media to promote their collections and services. However, with the development of a digital
society that can hardly be separated from the internet, social media seems to be able to be
used for much greater purposes than just promotional media.(Kurniasih, 2016).
With influencer librarians providing education to digital natives through social media
in the form of information repackaging, Indonesian human resources are expected to get
quality education. Coupled with the ease of understanding information that has been
repackaged, the public will have information literacy skills which will then implement the
information obtained from influencer librarians. For SDGs to be successful, it also requires
awareness by Indonesian human resources, especially those who are literate, to support
sustainable development. So that influencer librarians also need to provide education in
instilling the main values of the Sustainable Development Goals. (Krismayani, 2019)
The role of influencer librarians in providing information or education has a positive
impact although it still has some challenges to form a bond with the public especially digital
natives, they provide information that is easy to understand and encourage people to
implement environmentally friendly and sustainable practices with their skills in repackaging
information and active presence on social media. Influencer librarians can help improve
people's information literacy and form a better understanding of important social and
environmental issues. However, it is not only influencer librarians who spread quality
information and sustainable development principles on social media. Individuals active on
social media, online communities, businesses, public figures and celebrities also play a role.
They each have the ability to spread relevant content and help raise public awareness of these
important issues.
The role of social media in advocacy campaigns
Advocacy campaigns on social media are efforts to support an issue or voice a cause
using social media features and tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others.
Organizations, individuals, and community groups can leverage social media to spread
messages, encourage support, and drive action.
Instagram is one of the most influential social media in communication and data
exchange activities. The organization conducts campaign activities on its Instagram account,
@greenpeaceid, with the aim of informing Instagram users about environmental damage that
occurs specifically in Indonesia and increasing public awareness to preserve the environment.
(Fadli & Sazali, 2023)
The Instagram account @greepeaceid shared a post about how the indigenous people
of Grime Nawa, Papua, take good care of their environment. The information on the post tells
about the various kinds of living things that exist in their area and how indigenous people
today live peacefully and in friendship with their environment. In addition, the public also
gave positive comments on the upload, which shows that protecting nature is a gift from God,
which is a good thing to do together. (Fadli & Sazali, 2023)
The situation in Grime Nawa, Papua, in this context shows how important indigenous
peoples are in environmental conservation. For years, indigenous people in the area have been
protecting the environment by living a peaceful and eco-friendly lifestyle. This information
was shared through @greenpeaceid's Instagram account, showing how social media can also
be used to promote environmental conservation principles and raise their voices. The positive
public response to @greenpeaceid's posts shows public awareness of the importance of nature
conservation. This is in line with one of the goals of the 2030 SDGs, which is to increase
public awareness of sustainability issues.
Social media helps in achieving the goals as it enables rapid and wide dissemination of
information. In accordance with the principles of SDGs 2030, advocacy campaigns driven by
social media have the potential to mobilize larger movements to support indigenous peoples'
rights and environmental conservation. This campaign can gain significant support and action
from various parties, which is an important step in achieving sustainable development goals.

Analyzing the role of Social Media in Raising Awareness of the 2030 Sustainable
Development Goals
In this discussion, we will outline the important role of social media in driving social
transformation in this digital era, focusing on how social media can be an effective tool to
raise awareness and to support the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
The following are some of the roles of social media in improving SDG 2030 that have been
found in this research:
The role of social media as a tool for public education
In an increasingly connected digital age, the role of social media in supporting
education is crucial. With the entry of technology into education, there are many new
opportunities to build a more inclusive and high-quality learning system. Issues such as
distance and limited access to educational resources can now be overcome with advances in
information and communication technology. UNESCO emphasizes that technology is critical
in improving access to education globally, especially for people living in remote places.
Technology can also help students who have special needs, such as the deaf or blind,
learn on their own. Interactive simulations can help students understand abstract concepts and
acquire practical skills, while mobile and video learning applications can provide easy and
flexible access to learning materials. (Ramadhani, 2023)
In addition, technology-based inclusive education can help Indonesia achieve the 2030
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as it can reduce the education gap and teach children
the skills needed to face global challenges such as the industrial revolution 4.0 and global
issues such as poverty and climate change. This is in line with the constructivism theory of
education, which focuses on the active role of students in the learning process. According to
this theory, students acquire their own knowledge through active and interactive learning
experiences with their environment. In situations like this, technology can be a useful tool to
help students expand their knowledge. Students can process and access data in an easier and
interactive way with the help of advanced technology. For example, videos and animations,
which are examples of technology-based learning media, can help students in understanding
concepts that are more visual and interactive (Verrawati & Mustadi, 2018).
In this case, social media serves as a good tool to help students learn. Appropriate and
innovative technologies such as social media platforms allow students to access data or
information more easily and interactively. For example, video sharing platforms such as
YouTube or visual content sharing platforms such as Instagram and Pinterest can be used to
provide a variety of engaging learning resources. Students can access educational content
such as learning videos, infographics, images and other content in a more visual and
interactive way through social media. In addition, online discussions can improve students'
understanding and knowledge as well as engagement in the learning process by enabling the
exchange of ideas and experiences between students, teachers and experts in a particular field.
Utilizing social media as an additional learning resource can help students expand their
knowledge and understanding of various topics, including sustainable development goals. It
creates a more inclusive and collaborative learning environment where students can work
together and learn independently.
The role of social media in information dissemination
The Industrial Revolution 4.0, characterized by the incorporation of digital technology
into production and communication processes, has changed the way we share information in
today's digital age. This transformation has had a significant impact on information
dissemination, especially through social media and other online platforms. A new profession
that has emerged in the 21st century is often called influencer. Where an influncer is a
phenomenon that is closely related to digital natives. Influencers often have a strong
experience and understanding of online dynamics before they can successfully influence their
audiences in a big way through social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube and
TikTok.
The characteristics of the digital native generation have a new way of socializing,
namely by using social media. This phenomenon can be utilized by librarians to become
influencers. The use of social media for libraries today is not new. Libraries usually use social
media to promote their collections and services. However, with the development of a digital
society that can hardly be separated from the internet, social media seems to be able to be
used for much greater purposes than just promotional media.(Kurniasih, 2016).
With influencer librarians providing education to digital natives through social media
in the form of information repackaging, Indonesian human resources are expected to get
quality education. Coupled with the ease of understanding information that has been
repackaged, the public will have information literacy skills which will then implement the
information obtained from influencer librarians. For SDGs to be successful, it also requires
awareness by Indonesian human resources, especially those who are literate, to support
sustainable development. So that influencer librarians also need to provide education in
instilling the main values of the Sustainable Development Goals. (Krismayani, 2019)
The role of influencer librarians in providing information or education has a positive
impact although it still has some challenges to form a bond with the public especially digital
natives, they provide information that is easy to understand and encourage people to
implement environmentally friendly and sustainable practices with their skills in repackaging
information and active presence on social media. Influencer librarians can help improve
people's information literacy and form a better understanding of important social and
environmental issues. However, it is not only influencer librarians who spread quality
information and sustainable development principles on social media. Individuals active on
social media, online communities, businesses, public figures and celebrities also play a role.
They each have the ability to spread relevant content and help raise public awareness of these
important issues.
The role of social media in advocacy campaigns
Advocacy campaigns on social media are efforts to support an issue or voice a cause
using social media features and tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others.
Organizations, individuals, and community groups can leverage social media to spread
messages, encourage support, and drive action.

interactive way through social media. In addition, online discussions can improve students'
understanding and knowledge as well as engagement in the learning process by enabling the
exchange of ideas and experiences between students, teachers and experts in a particular field.
Utilizing social media as an additional learning resource can help students expand their
knowledge and understanding of various topics, including sustainable development goals. It
creates a more inclusive and collaborative learning environment where students can work
together and learn independently.
The role of social media in information dissemination
The Industrial Revolution 4.0, characterized by the incorporation of digital technology
into production and communication processes, has changed the way we share information in
today's digital age. This transformation has had a significant impact on information
dissemination, especially through social media and other online platforms. A new profession
that has emerged in the 21st century is often called influencer. Where an influncer is a
phenomenon that is closely related to digital natives. Influencers often have a strong
experience and understanding of online dynamics before they can successfully influence their
audiences in a big way through social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube and
TikTok.
The characteristics of the digital native generation have a new way of socializing,
namely by using social media. This phenomenon can be utilized by librarians to become
influencers. The use of social media for libraries today is not new. Libraries usually use social
media to promote their collections and services. However, with the development of a digital
society that can hardly be separated from the internet, social media seems to be able to be
used for much greater purposes than just promotional media.(Kurniasih, 2016).
With influencer librarians providing education to digital natives through social media
in the form of information repackaging, Indonesian human resources are expected to get
quality education. Coupled with the ease of understanding information that has been
repackaged, the public will have information literacy skills which will then implement the
information obtained from influencer librarians. For SDGs to be successful, it also requires
awareness by Indonesian human resources, especially those who are literate, to support
sustainable development. So that influencer librarians also need to provide education in
instilling the main values of the Sustainable Development Goals. (Krismayani, 2019)
The role of influencer librarians in providing information or education has a positive
impact although it still has some challenges to form a bond with the public especially digital
natives, they provide information that is easy to understand and encourage people to
implement environmentally friendly and sustainable practices with their skills in repackaging
information and active presence on social media. Influencer librarians can help improve
people's information literacy and form a better understanding of important social and
environmental issues. However, it is not only influencer librarians who spread quality
information and sustainable development principles on social media. Individuals active on
social media, online communities, businesses, public figures and celebrities also play a role.
They each have the ability to spread relevant content and help raise public awareness of these
important issues.
The role of social media in advocacy campaigns
Advocacy campaigns on social media are efforts to support an issue or voice a cause
using social media features and tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others.
Organizations, individuals, and community groups can leverage social media to spread
messages, encourage support, and drive action.
Instagram is one of the most influential social media in communication and data
exchange activities. The organization conducts campaign activities on its Instagram account,
@greenpeaceid, with the aim of informing Instagram users about environmental damage that
occurs specifically in Indonesia and increasing public awareness to preserve the environment.
(Fadli & Sazali, 2023)
The Instagram account @greepeaceid shared a post about how the indigenous people
of Grime Nawa, Papua, take good care of their environment. The information on the post tells
about the various kinds of living things that exist in their area and how indigenous people
today live peacefully and in friendship with their environment. In addition, the public also
gave positive comments on the upload, which shows that protecting nature is a gift from God,
which is a good thing to do together. (Fadli & Sazali, 2023)
The situation in Grime Nawa, Papua, in this context shows how important indigenous
peoples are in environmental conservation. For years, indigenous people in the area have been
protecting the environment by living a peaceful and eco-friendly lifestyle. This information
was shared through @greenpeaceid's Instagram account, showing how social media can also
be used to promote environmental conservation principles and raise their voices. The positive
public response to @greenpeaceid's posts shows public awareness of the importance of nature
conservation. This is in line with one of the goals of the 2030 SDGs, which is to increase
public awareness of sustainability issues.
Social media helps in achieving the goals as it enables rapid and wide dissemination of
information. In accordance with the principles of SDGs 2030, advocacy campaigns driven by
social media have the potential to mobilize larger movements to support indigenous peoples'
rights and environmental conservation. This campaign can gain significant support and action
from various parties, which is an important step in achieving sustainable development goals.

Analyzing the role of Social Media in Raising Awareness of the 2030 Sustainable
Development Goals
In this discussion, we will outline the important role of social media in driving social
transformation in this digital era, focusing on how social media can be an effective tool to
raise awareness and to support the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
The following are some of the roles of social media in improving SDG 2030 that have been
found in this research:
The role of social media as a tool for public education
In an increasingly connected digital age, the role of social media in supporting
education is crucial. With the entry of technology into education, there are many new
opportunities to build a more inclusive and high-quality learning system. Issues such as
distance and limited access to educational resources can now be overcome with advances in
information and communication technology. UNESCO emphasizes that technology is critical
in improving access to education globally, especially for people living in remote places.
Technology can also help students who have special needs, such as the deaf or blind,
learn on their own. Interactive simulations can help students understand abstract concepts and
acquire practical skills, while mobile and video learning applications can provide easy and
flexible access to learning materials. (Ramadhani, 2023)
In addition, technology-based inclusive education can help Indonesia achieve the 2030
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as it can reduce the education gap and teach children
the skills needed to face global challenges such as the industrial revolution 4.0 and global
issues such as poverty and climate change. This is in line with the constructivism theory of
education, which focuses on the active role of students in the learning process. According to
this theory, students acquire their own knowledge through active and interactive learning
experiences with their environment. In situations like this, technology can be a useful tool to
help students expand their knowledge. Students can process and access data in an easier and
interactive way with the help of advanced technology. For example, videos and animations,
which are examples of technology-based learning media, can help students in understanding
concepts that are more visual and interactive (Verrawati & Mustadi, 2018).
In this case, social media serves as a good tool to help students learn. Appropriate and
innovative technologies such as social media platforms allow students to access data or
information more easily and interactively. For example, video sharing platforms such as
YouTube or visual content sharing platforms such as Instagram and Pinterest can be used to
provide a variety of engaging learning resources. Students can access educational content
such as learning videos, infographics, images and other content in a more visual and
interactive way through social media. In addition, online discussions can improve students'
understanding and knowledge as well as engagement in the learning process by enabling the

Analyzing the role of Social Media in Raising Awareness of the 2030 Sustainable
Development Goals
In this discussion, we will outline the important role of social media in driving social
transformation in this digital era, focusing on how social media can be an effective tool to
raise awareness and to support the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
The following are some of the roles of social media in improving SDG 2030 that have been
found in this research:
The role of social media as a tool for public education
In an increasingly connected digital age, the role of social media in supporting
education is crucial. With the entry of technology into education, there are many new
opportunities to build a more inclusive and high-quality learning system. Issues such as
distance and limited access to educational resources can now be overcome with advances in
information and communication technology. UNESCO emphasizes that technology is critical
in improving access to education globally, especially for people living in remote places.
Technology can also help students who have special needs, such as the deaf or blind,
learn on their own. Interactive simulations can help students understand abstract concepts and
acquire practical skills, while mobile and video learning applications can provide easy and
flexible access to learning materials. (Ramadhani, 2023)
In addition, technology-based inclusive education can help Indonesia achieve the 2030
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as it can reduce the education gap and teach children
the skills needed to face global challenges such as the industrial revolution 4.0 and global
issues such as poverty and climate change. This is in line with the constructivism theory of
education, which focuses on the active role of students in the learning process. According to
this theory, students acquire their own knowledge through active and interactive learning
experiences with their environment. In situations like this, technology can be a useful tool to
help students expand their knowledge. Students can process and access data in an easier and
interactive way with the help of advanced technology. For example, videos and animations,
which are examples of technology-based learning media, can help students in understanding
concepts that are more visual and interactive (Verrawati & Mustadi, 2018).
In this case, social media serves as a good tool to help students learn. Appropriate and
innovative technologies such as social media platforms allow students to access data or
information more easily and interactively. For example, video sharing platforms such as
YouTube or visual content sharing platforms such as Instagram and Pinterest can be used to
provide a variety of engaging learning resources. Students can access educational content
such as learning videos, infographics, images and other content in a more visual and
interactive way through social media. In addition, online discussions can improve students'
understanding and knowledge as well as engagement in the learning process by enabling the
exchange of ideas and experiences between students, teachers and experts in a particular field.
Utilizing social media as an additional learning resource can help students expand their
knowledge and understanding of various topics, including sustainable development goals. It
creates a more inclusive and collaborative learning environment where students can work
together and learn independently.
The role of social media in information dissemination
The Industrial Revolution 4.0, characterized by the incorporation of digital technology
into production and communication processes, has changed the way we share information in
today's digital age. This transformation has had a significant impact on information
dissemination, especially through social media and other online platforms. A new profession
that has emerged in the 21st century is often called influencer. Where an influncer is a
phenomenon that is closely related to digital natives. Influencers often have a strong
experience and understanding of online dynamics before they can successfully influence their
audiences in a big way through social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube and
TikTok.
The characteristics of the digital native generation have a new way of socializing,
namely by using social media. This phenomenon can be utilized by librarians to become
influencers. The use of social media for libraries today is not new. Libraries usually use social
media to promote their collections and services. However, with the development of a digital
society that can hardly be separated from the internet, social media seems to be able to be
used for much greater purposes than just promotional media.(Kurniasih, 2016).
With influencer librarians providing education to digital natives through social media
in the form of information repackaging, Indonesian human resources are expected to get
quality education. Coupled with the ease of understanding information that has been
repackaged, the public will have information literacy skills which will then implement the
information obtained from influencer librarians. For SDGs to be successful, it also requires
awareness by Indonesian human resources, especially those who are literate, to support
sustainable development. So that influencer librarians also need to provide education in
instilling the main values of the Sustainable Development Goals. (Krismayani, 2019)
The role of influencer librarians in providing information or education has a positive
impact although it still has some challenges to form a bond with the public especially digital
natives, they provide information that is easy to understand and encourage people to
implement environmentally friendly and sustainable practices with their skills in repackaging
information and active presence on social media. Influencer librarians can help improve
people's information literacy and form a better understanding of important social and
environmental issues. However, it is not only influencer librarians who spread quality
information and sustainable development principles on social media. Individuals active on
social media, online communities, businesses, public figures and celebrities also play a role.
They each have the ability to spread relevant content and help raise public awareness of these
important issues.
The role of social media in advocacy campaigns
Advocacy campaigns on social media are efforts to support an issue or voice a cause
using social media features and tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others.
Organizations, individuals, and community groups can leverage social media to spread
messages, encourage support, and drive action.
Instagram is one of the most influential social media in communication and data
exchange activities. The organization conducts campaign activities on its Instagram account,
@greenpeaceid, with the aim of informing Instagram users about environmental damage that
occurs specifically in Indonesia and increasing public awareness to preserve the environment.
(Fadli & Sazali, 2023)
The Instagram account @greepeaceid shared a post about how the indigenous people
of Grime Nawa, Papua, take good care of their environment. The information on the post tells
about the various kinds of living things that exist in their area and how indigenous people
today live peacefully and in friendship with their environment. In addition, the public also
gave positive comments on the upload, which shows that protecting nature is a gift from God,
which is a good thing to do together. (Fadli & Sazali, 2023)
The situation in Grime Nawa, Papua, in this context shows how important indigenous
peoples are in environmental conservation. For years, indigenous people in the area have been
protecting the environment by living a peaceful and eco-friendly lifestyle. This information
was shared through @greenpeaceid's Instagram account, showing how social media can also
be used to promote environmental conservation principles and raise their voices. The positive
public response to @greenpeaceid's posts shows public awareness of the importance of nature
conservation. This is in line with one of the goals of the 2030 SDGs, which is to increase
public awareness of sustainability issues.
Social media helps in achieving the goals as it enables rapid and wide dissemination of
information. In accordance with the principles of SDGs 2030, advocacy campaigns driven by
social media have the potential to mobilize larger movements to support indigenous peoples'
rights and environmental conservation. This campaign can gain significant support and action
from various parties, which is an important step in achieving sustainable development goals.

Analyzing the role of Social Media in Raising Awareness of the 2030 Sustainable
Development Goals
In this discussion, we will outline the important role of social media in driving social
transformation in this digital era, focusing on how social media can be an effective tool to
raise awareness and to support the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
The following are some of the roles of social media in improving SDG 2030 that have been
found in this research:
The role of social media as a tool for public education
In an increasingly connected digital age, the role of social media in supporting
education is crucial. With the entry of technology into education, there are many new
opportunities to build a more inclusive and high-quality learning system. Issues such as
distance and limited access to educational resources can now be overcome with advances in
information and communication technology. UNESCO emphasizes that technology is critical
in improving access to education globally, especially for people living in remote places.
Technology can also help students who have special needs, such as the deaf or blind,
learn on their own. Interactive simulations can help students understand abstract concepts and
acquire practical skills, while mobile and video learning applications can provide easy and
flexible access to learning materials. (Ramadhani, 2023)
In addition, technology-based inclusive education can help Indonesia achieve the 2030
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as it can reduce the education gap and teach children
the skills needed to face global challenges such as the industrial revolution 4.0 and global
issues such as poverty and climate change. This is in line with the constructivism theory of
education, which focuses on the active role of students in the learning process. According to
this theory, students acquire their own knowledge through active and interactive learning
experiences with their environment. In situations like this, technology can be a useful tool to
help students expand their knowledge. Students can process and access data in an easier and
interactive way with the help of advanced technology. For example, videos and animations,
which are examples of technology-based learning media, can help students in understanding
concepts that are more visual and interactive (Verrawati & Mustadi, 2018).
In this case, social media serves as a good tool to help students learn. Appropriate and
innovative technologies such as social media platforms allow students to access data or
information more easily and interactively. For example, video sharing platforms such as
YouTube or visual content sharing platforms such as Instagram and Pinterest can be used to
provide a variety of engaging learning resources. Students can access educational content
such as learning videos, infographics, images and other content in a more visual and
interactive way through social media. In addition, online discussions can improve students'
understanding and knowledge as well as engagement in the learning process by enabling the
exchange of ideas and experiences between students, teachers and experts in a particular field.
Utilizing social media as an additional learning resource can help students expand their
knowledge and understanding of various topics, including sustainable development goals. It
creates a more inclusive and collaborative learning environment where students can work
together and learn independently.
The role of social media in information dissemination
The Industrial Revolution 4.0, characterized by the incorporation of digital technology
into production and communication processes, has changed the way we share information in
today's digital age. This transformation has had a significant impact on information
dissemination, especially through social media and other online platforms. A new profession
that has emerged in the 21st century is often called influencer. Where an influncer is a
phenomenon that is closely related to digital natives. Influencers often have a strong
experience and understanding of online dynamics before they can successfully influence their
audiences in a big way through social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube and
TikTok.
The characteristics of the digital native generation have a new way of socializing,
namely by using social media. This phenomenon can be utilized by librarians to become
influencers. The use of social media for libraries today is not new. Libraries usually use social
media to promote their collections and services. However, with the development of a digital
society that can hardly be separated from the internet, social media seems to be able to be
used for much greater purposes than just promotional media.(Kurniasih, 2016).
With influencer librarians providing education to digital natives through social media
in the form of information repackaging, Indonesian human resources are expected to get
quality education. Coupled with the ease of understanding information that has been
repackaged, the public will have information literacy skills which will then implement the
information obtained from influencer librarians. For SDGs to be successful, it also requires
awareness by Indonesian human resources, especially those who are literate, to support
sustainable development. So that influencer librarians also need to provide education in
instilling the main values of the Sustainable Development Goals. (Krismayani, 2019)
The role of influencer librarians in providing information or education has a positive
impact although it still has some challenges to form a bond with the public especially digital
natives, they provide information that is easy to understand and encourage people to
implement environmentally friendly and sustainable practices with their skills in repackaging
information and active presence on social media. Influencer librarians can help improve
people's information literacy and form a better understanding of important social and
environmental issues. However, it is not only influencer librarians who spread quality
information and sustainable development principles on social media. Individuals active on
social media, online communities, businesses, public figures and celebrities also play a role.
They each have the ability to spread relevant content and help raise public awareness of these
important issues.
The role of social media in advocacy campaigns
Advocacy campaigns on social media are efforts to support an issue or voice a cause
using social media features and tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others.
Organizations, individuals, and community groups can leverage social media to spread
messages, encourage support, and drive action.
Instagram is one of the most influential social media in communication and data
exchange activities. The organization conducts campaign activities on its Instagram account,
@greenpeaceid, with the aim of informing Instagram users about environmental damage that
occurs specifically in Indonesia and increasing public awareness to preserve the environment.
(Fadli & Sazali, 2023)
The Instagram account @greepeaceid shared a post about how the indigenous people
of Grime Nawa, Papua, take good care of their environment. The information on the post tells
about the various kinds of living things that exist in their area and how indigenous people
today live peacefully and in friendship with their environment. In addition, the public also
gave positive comments on the upload, which shows that protecting nature is a gift from God,
which is a good thing to do together. (Fadli & Sazali, 2023)
The situation in Grime Nawa, Papua, in this context shows how important indigenous
peoples are in environmental conservation. For years, indigenous people in the area have been
protecting the environment by living a peaceful and eco-friendly lifestyle. This information
was shared through @greenpeaceid's Instagram account, showing how social media can also
be used to promote environmental conservation principles and raise their voices. The positive
public response to @greenpeaceid's posts shows public awareness of the importance of nature
conservation. This is in line with one of the goals of the 2030 SDGs, which is to increase
public awareness of sustainability issues.
Social media helps in achieving the goals as it enables rapid and wide dissemination of
information. In accordance with the principles of SDGs 2030, advocacy campaigns driven by
social media have the potential to mobilize larger movements to support indigenous peoples'
rights and environmental conservation. This campaign can gain significant support and action
from various parties, which is an important step in achieving sustainable development goals.

Analyzing the role of Social Media in Raising Awareness of the 2030 Sustainable
Development Goals
In this discussion, we will outline the important role of social media in driving social
transformation in this digital era, focusing on how social media can be an effective tool to
raise awareness and to support the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
The following are some of the roles of social media in improving SDG 2030 that have been
found in this research:
The role of social media as a tool for public education
In an increasingly connected digital age, the role of social media in supporting
education is crucial. With the entry of technology into education, there are many new
opportunities to build a more inclusive and high-quality learning system. Issues such as
distance and limited access to educational resources can now be overcome with advances in
information and communication technology. UNESCO emphasizes that technology is critical
in improving access to education globally, especially for people living in remote places.
Technology can also help students who have special needs, such as the deaf or blind,
learn on their own. Interactive simulations can help students understand abstract concepts and
acquire practical skills, while mobile and video learning applications can provide easy and
flexible access to learning materials. (Ramadhani, 2023)
In addition, technology-based inclusive education can help Indonesia achieve the 2030
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as it can reduce the education gap and teach children
the skills needed to face global challenges such as the industrial revolution 4.0 and global
issues such as poverty and climate change. This is in line with the constructivism theory of
education, which focuses on the active role of students in the learning process. According to
this theory, students acquire their own knowledge through active and interactive learning
experiences with their environment. In situations like this, technology can be a useful tool to
help students expand their knowledge. Students can process and access data in an easier and
interactive way with the help of advanced technology. For example, videos and animations,
which are examples of technology-based learning media, can help students in understanding
concepts that are more visual and interactive (Verrawati & Mustadi, 2018).
In this case, social media serves as a good tool to help students learn. Appropriate and
innovative technologies such as social media platforms allow students to access data or
information more easily and interactively. For example, video sharing platforms such as
YouTube or visual content sharing platforms such as Instagram and Pinterest can be used to
provide a variety of engaging learning resources. Students can access educational content
such as learning videos, infographics, images and other content in a more visual and
interactive way through social media. In addition, online discussions can improve students'
understanding and knowledge as well as engagement in the learning process by enabling the
exchange of ideas and experiences between students, teachers and experts in a particular field.
Utilizing social media as an additional learning resource can help students expand their
knowledge and understanding of various topics, including sustainable development goals. It
creates a more inclusive and collaborative learning environment where students can work
together and learn independently.
The role of social media in information dissemination
The Industrial Revolution 4.0, characterized by the incorporation of digital technology
into production and communication processes, has changed the way we share information in
today's digital age. This transformation has had a significant impact on information
dissemination, especially through social media and other online platforms. A new profession
that has emerged in the 21st century is often called influencer. Where an influncer is a
phenomenon that is closely related to digital natives. Influencers often have a strong
experience and understanding of online dynamics before they can successfully influence their
audiences in a big way through social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube and
TikTok.
The characteristics of the digital native generation have a new way of socializing,
namely by using social media. This phenomenon can be utilized by librarians to become
influencers. The use of social media for libraries today is not new. Libraries usually use social
media to promote their collections and services. However, with the development of a digital
society that can hardly be separated from the internet, social media seems to be able to be
used for much greater purposes than just promotional media.(Kurniasih, 2016).
With influencer librarians providing education to digital natives through social media
in the form of information repackaging, Indonesian human resources are expected to get
quality education. Coupled with the ease of understanding information that has been
repackaged, the public will have information literacy skills which will then implement the
information obtained from influencer librarians. For SDGs to be successful, it also requires
awareness by Indonesian human resources, especially those who are literate, to support
sustainable development. So that influencer librarians also need to provide education in
instilling the main values of the Sustainable Development Goals. (Krismayani, 2019)
The role of influencer librarians in providing information or education has a positive
impact although it still has some challenges to form a bond with the public especially digital
natives, they provide information that is easy to understand and encourage people to
implement environmentally friendly and sustainable practices with their skills in repackaging
information and active presence on social media. Influencer librarians can help improve
people's information literacy and form a better understanding of important social and
environmental issues. However, it is not only influencer librarians who spread quality
information and sustainable development principles on social media. Individuals active on
social media, online communities, businesses, public figures and celebrities also play a role.
They each have the ability to spread relevant content and help raise public awareness of these
important issues.
The role of social media in advocacy campaigns
Advocacy campaigns on social media are efforts to support an issue or voice a cause
using social media features and tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others.
Organizations, individuals, and community groups can leverage social media to spread
messages, encourage support, and drive action.

YouTube or visual content sharing platforms such as Instagram and Pinterest can be used to
provide a variety of engaging learning resources. Students can access educational content
such as learning videos, infographics, images and other content in a more visual and
interactive way through social media. In addition, online discussions can improve students'
understanding and knowledge as well as engagement in the learning process by enabling the
exchange of ideas and experiences between students, teachers and experts in a particular field.
Utilizing social media as an additional learning resource can help students expand their
knowledge and understanding of various topics, including sustainable development goals. It
creates a more inclusive and collaborative learning environment where students can work
together and learn independently.
The role of social media in information dissemination
The Industrial Revolution 4.0, characterized by the incorporation of digital technology
into production and communication processes, has changed the way we share information in
today's digital age. This transformation has had a significant impact on information
dissemination, especially through social media and other online platforms. A new profession
that has emerged in the 21st century is often called influencer. Where an influncer is a
phenomenon that is closely related to digital natives. Influencers often have a strong
experience and understanding of online dynamics before they can successfully influence their
audiences in a big way through social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube and
TikTok.
The characteristics of the digital native generation have a new way of socializing,
namely by using social media. This phenomenon can be utilized by librarians to become
influencers. The use of social media for libraries today is not new. Libraries usually use social
media to promote their collections and services. However, with the development of a digital
society that can hardly be separated from the internet, social media seems to be able to be
used for much greater purposes than just promotional media.(Kurniasih, 2016).
With influencer librarians providing education to digital natives through social media
in the form of information repackaging, Indonesian human resources are expected to get
quality education. Coupled with the ease of understanding information that has been
repackaged, the public will have information literacy skills which will then implement the
information obtained from influencer librarians. For SDGs to be successful, it also requires
awareness by Indonesian human resources, especially those who are literate, to support
sustainable development. So that influencer librarians also need to provide education in
instilling the main values of the Sustainable Development Goals. (Krismayani, 2019)
The role of influencer librarians in providing information or education has a positive
impact although it still has some challenges to form a bond with the public especially digital
natives, they provide information that is easy to understand and encourage people to
implement environmentally friendly and sustainable practices with their skills in repackaging
information and active presence on social media. Influencer librarians can help improve
people's information literacy and form a better understanding of important social and
environmental issues. However, it is not only influencer librarians who spread quality
information and sustainable development principles on social media. Individuals active on
social media, online communities, businesses, public figures and celebrities also play a role.
They each have the ability to spread relevant content and help raise public awareness of these
important issues.
The role of social media in advocacy campaigns
Advocacy campaigns on social media are efforts to support an issue or voice a cause
using social media features and tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others.
Organizations, individuals, and community groups can leverage social media to spread
messages, encourage support, and drive action.
Instagram is one of the most influential social media in communication and data
exchange activities. The organization conducts campaign activities on its Instagram account,
@greenpeaceid, with the aim of informing Instagram users about environmental damage that
occurs specifically in Indonesia and increasing public awareness to preserve the environment.
(Fadli & Sazali, 2023)
The Instagram account @greepeaceid shared a post about how the indigenous people
of Grime Nawa, Papua, take good care of their environment. The information on the post tells
about the various kinds of living things that exist in their area and how indigenous people
today live peacefully and in friendship with their environment. In addition, the public also
gave positive comments on the upload, which shows that protecting nature is a gift from God,
which is a good thing to do together. (Fadli & Sazali, 2023)
The situation in Grime Nawa, Papua, in this context shows how important indigenous
peoples are in environmental conservation. For years, indigenous people in the area have been
protecting the environment by living a peaceful and eco-friendly lifestyle. This information
was shared through @greenpeaceid's Instagram account, showing how social media can also
be used to promote environmental conservation principles and raise their voices. The positive
public response to @greenpeaceid's posts shows public awareness of the importance of nature
conservation. This is in line with one of the goals of the 2030 SDGs, which is to increase
public awareness of sustainability issues.
Social media helps in achieving the goals as it enables rapid and wide dissemination of
information. In accordance with the principles of SDGs 2030, advocacy campaigns driven by
social media have the potential to mobilize larger movements to support indigenous peoples'
rights and environmental conservation. This campaign can gain significant support and action
from various parties, which is an important step in achieving sustainable development goals.

Analyzing the role of Social Media in Raising Awareness of the 2030 Sustainable
Development Goals
In this discussion, we will outline the important role of social media in driving social
transformation in this digital era, focusing on how social media can be an effective tool to
raise awareness and to support the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
The following are some of the roles of social media in improving SDG 2030 that have been
found in this research:
The role of social media as a tool for public education
In an increasingly connected digital age, the role of social media in supporting
education is crucial. With the entry of technology into education, there are many new
opportunities to build a more inclusive and high-quality learning system. Issues such as
distance and limited access to educational resources can now be overcome with advances in
information and communication technology. UNESCO emphasizes that technology is critical
in improving access to education globally, especially for people living in remote places.
Technology can also help students who have special needs, such as the deaf or blind,
learn on their own. Interactive simulations can help students understand abstract concepts and
acquire practical skills, while mobile and video learning applications can provide easy and
flexible access to learning materials. (Ramadhani, 2023)
In addition, technology-based inclusive education can help Indonesia achieve the 2030
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as it can reduce the education gap and teach children
the skills needed to face global challenges such as the industrial revolution 4.0 and global
issues such as poverty and climate change. This is in line with the constructivism theory of
education, which focuses on the active role of students in the learning process. According to
this theory, students acquire their own knowledge through active and interactive learning
experiences with their environment. In situations like this, technology can be a useful tool to
help students expand their knowledge. Students can process and access data in an easier and
interactive way with the help of advanced technology. For example, videos and animations,
which are examples of technology-based learning media, can help students in understanding
concepts that are more visual and interactive (Verrawati & Mustadi, 2018).
In this case, social media serves as a good tool to help students learn. Appropriate and

Analyzing the role of Social Media in Raising Awareness of the 2030 Sustainable
Development Goals
In this discussion, we will outline the important role of social media in driving social
transformation in this digital era, focusing on how social media can be an effective tool to
raise awareness and to support the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
The following are some of the roles of social media in improving SDG 2030 that have been
found in this research:
The role of social media as a tool for public education
In an increasingly connected digital age, the role of social media in supporting
education is crucial. With the entry of technology into education, there are many new
opportunities to build a more inclusive and high-quality learning system. Issues such as
distance and limited access to educational resources can now be overcome with advances in
information and communication technology. UNESCO emphasizes that technology is critical
in improving access to education globally, especially for people living in remote places.
Technology can also help students who have special needs, such as the deaf or blind,
learn on their own. Interactive simulations can help students understand abstract concepts and
acquire practical skills, while mobile and video learning applications can provide easy and
flexible access to learning materials. (Ramadhani, 2023)
In addition, technology-based inclusive education can help Indonesia achieve the 2030
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as it can reduce the education gap and teach children
the skills needed to face global challenges such as the industrial revolution 4.0 and global
issues such as poverty and climate change. This is in line with the constructivism theory of
education, which focuses on the active role of students in the learning process. According to
this theory, students acquire their own knowledge through active and interactive learning
experiences with their environment. In situations like this, technology can be a useful tool to
help students expand their knowledge. Students can process and access data in an easier and
interactive way with the help of advanced technology. For example, videos and animations,
which are examples of technology-based learning media, can help students in understanding
concepts that are more visual and interactive (Verrawati & Mustadi, 2018).
In this case, social media serves as a good tool to help students learn. Appropriate and
innovative technologies such as social media platforms allow students to access data or
information more easily and interactively. For example, video sharing platforms such as
YouTube or visual content sharing platforms such as Instagram and Pinterest can be used to
provide a variety of engaging learning resources. Students can access educational content
such as learning videos, infographics, images and other content in a more visual and
interactive way through social media. In addition, online discussions can improve students'
understanding and knowledge as well as engagement in the learning process by enabling the
exchange of ideas and experiences between students, teachers and experts in a particular field.
Utilizing social media as an additional learning resource can help students expand their
knowledge and understanding of various topics, including sustainable development goals. It
creates a more inclusive and collaborative learning environment where students can work
together and learn independently.
The role of social media in information dissemination
The Industrial Revolution 4.0, characterized by the incorporation of digital technology
into production and communication processes, has changed the way we share information in
today's digital age. This transformation has had a significant impact on information
dissemination, especially through social media and other online platforms. A new profession
that has emerged in the 21st century is often called influencer. Where an influncer is a
phenomenon that is closely related to digital natives. Influencers often have a strong
experience and understanding of online dynamics before they can successfully influence their
audiences in a big way through social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube and
TikTok.
The characteristics of the digital native generation have a new way of socializing,
namely by using social media. This phenomenon can be utilized by librarians to become
influencers. The use of social media for libraries today is not new. Libraries usually use social
media to promote their collections and services. However, with the development of a digital
society that can hardly be separated from the internet, social media seems to be able to be
used for much greater purposes than just promotional media.(Kurniasih, 2016).
With influencer librarians providing education to digital natives through social media
in the form of information repackaging, Indonesian human resources are expected to get
quality education. Coupled with the ease of understanding information that has been
repackaged, the public will have information literacy skills which will then implement the
information obtained from influencer librarians. For SDGs to be successful, it also requires
awareness by Indonesian human resources, especially those who are literate, to support
sustainable development. So that influencer librarians also need to provide education in
instilling the main values of the Sustainable Development Goals. (Krismayani, 2019)
The role of influencer librarians in providing information or education has a positive
impact although it still has some challenges to form a bond with the public especially digital
natives, they provide information that is easy to understand and encourage people to
implement environmentally friendly and sustainable practices with their skills in repackaging
information and active presence on social media. Influencer librarians can help improve
people's information literacy and form a better understanding of important social and
environmental issues. However, it is not only influencer librarians who spread quality
information and sustainable development principles on social media. Individuals active on
social media, online communities, businesses, public figures and celebrities also play a role.
They each have the ability to spread relevant content and help raise public awareness of these
important issues.
The role of social media in advocacy campaigns
Advocacy campaigns on social media are efforts to support an issue or voice a cause
using social media features and tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others.
Organizations, individuals, and community groups can leverage social media to spread
messages, encourage support, and drive action.
Instagram is one of the most influential social media in communication and data
exchange activities. The organization conducts campaign activities on its Instagram account,
@greenpeaceid, with the aim of informing Instagram users about environmental damage that
occurs specifically in Indonesia and increasing public awareness to preserve the environment.
(Fadli & Sazali, 2023)
The Instagram account @greepeaceid shared a post about how the indigenous people
of Grime Nawa, Papua, take good care of their environment. The information on the post tells
about the various kinds of living things that exist in their area and how indigenous people
today live peacefully and in friendship with their environment. In addition, the public also
gave positive comments on the upload, which shows that protecting nature is a gift from God,
which is a good thing to do together. (Fadli & Sazali, 2023)
The situation in Grime Nawa, Papua, in this context shows how important indigenous
peoples are in environmental conservation. For years, indigenous people in the area have been
protecting the environment by living a peaceful and eco-friendly lifestyle. This information
was shared through @greenpeaceid's Instagram account, showing how social media can also
be used to promote environmental conservation principles and raise their voices. The positive
public response to @greenpeaceid's posts shows public awareness of the importance of nature
conservation. This is in line with one of the goals of the 2030 SDGs, which is to increase
public awareness of sustainability issues.
Social media helps in achieving the goals as it enables rapid and wide dissemination of
information. In accordance with the principles of SDGs 2030, advocacy campaigns driven by
social media have the potential to mobilize larger movements to support indigenous peoples'
rights and environmental conservation. This campaign can gain significant support and action
from various parties, which is an important step in achieving sustainable development goals.

awareness about social issues and mobilize individuals to action by harnessing the power of
stories and visuals. Social media has been used for social change through hashtag campaigns,
online petitions, and viral videos.
The challenges of digital transformation in education: -
Accessibility and the digital divide: Technology can improve the accessibility of
education, but there is still a digital divide between groups.
Integrating technology into the curriculum: Not all schools have the infrastructure and
resources to integrate technology into the curriculum effectively.
The Challenge of Information Dissemination:
Information Reliability: In the age of information overload, there are challenges in
ensuring that the information disseminated is accurate and reliable.

Analyzing the role of Social Media in Raising Awareness of the 2030 Sustainable
Development Goals
In this discussion, we will outline the important role of social media in driving social
transformation in this digital era, focusing on how social media can be an effective tool to
raise awareness and to support the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
The following are some of the roles of social media in improving SDG 2030 that have been
found in this research:
The role of social media as a tool for public education
In an increasingly connected digital age, the role of social media in supporting
education is crucial. With the entry of technology into education, there are many new
opportunities to build a more inclusive and high-quality learning system. Issues such as
distance and limited access to educational resources can now be overcome with advances in
information and communication technology. UNESCO emphasizes that technology is critical
in improving access to education globally, especially for people living in remote places.
Technology can also help students who have special needs, such as the deaf or blind,
learn on their own. Interactive simulations can help students understand abstract concepts and
acquire practical skills, while mobile and video learning applications can provide easy and
flexible access to learning materials. (Ramadhani, 2023)
In addition, technology-based inclusive education can help Indonesia achieve the 2030
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as it can reduce the education gap and teach children
the skills needed to face global challenges such as the industrial revolution 4.0 and global
issues such as poverty and climate change. This is in line with the constructivism theory of
education, which focuses on the active role of students in the learning process. According to
this theory, students acquire their own knowledge through active and interactive learning
experiences with their environment. In situations like this, technology can be a useful tool to
help students expand their knowledge. Students can process and access data in an easier and
interactive way with the help of advanced technology. For example, videos and animations,
which are examples of technology-based learning media, can help students in understanding
concepts that are more visual and interactive (Verrawati & Mustadi, 2018).
In this case, social media serves as a good tool to help students learn. Appropriate and
innovative technologies such as social media platforms allow students to access data or
information more easily and interactively. For example, video sharing platforms such as
YouTube or visual content sharing platforms such as Instagram and Pinterest can be used to
provide a variety of engaging learning resources. Students can access educational content
such as learning videos, infographics, images and other content in a more visual and
interactive way through social media. In addition, online discussions can improve students'
understanding and knowledge as well as engagement in the learning process by enabling the
exchange of ideas and experiences between students, teachers and experts in a particular field.
Utilizing social media as an additional learning resource can help students expand their
knowledge and understanding of various topics, including sustainable development goals. It
creates a more inclusive and collaborative learning environment where students can work
together and learn independently.
The role of social media in information dissemination
The Industrial Revolution 4.0, characterized by the incorporation of digital technology
into production and communication processes, has changed the way we share information in
today's digital age. This transformation has had a significant impact on information
dissemination, especially through social media and other online platforms. A new profession
that has emerged in the 21st century is often called influencer. Where an influncer is a
phenomenon that is closely related to digital natives. Influencers often have a strong
experience and understanding of online dynamics before they can successfully influence their
audiences in a big way through social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube and
TikTok.
The characteristics of the digital native generation have a new way of socializing,
namely by using social media. This phenomenon can be utilized by librarians to become
influencers. The use of social media for libraries today is not new. Libraries usually use social
media to promote their collections and services. However, with the development of a digital
society that can hardly be separated from the internet, social media seems to be able to be
used for much greater purposes than just promotional media.(Kurniasih, 2016).
With influencer librarians providing education to digital natives through social media
in the form of information repackaging, Indonesian human resources are expected to get
quality education. Coupled with the ease of understanding information that has been
repackaged, the public will have information literacy skills which will then implement the
information obtained from influencer librarians. For SDGs to be successful, it also requires
awareness by Indonesian human resources, especially those who are literate, to support
sustainable development. So that influencer librarians also need to provide education in
instilling the main values of the Sustainable Development Goals. (Krismayani, 2019)
The role of influencer librarians in providing information or education has a positive
impact although it still has some challenges to form a bond with the public especially digital
natives, they provide information that is easy to understand and encourage people to
implement environmentally friendly and sustainable practices with their skills in repackaging
information and active presence on social media. Influencer librarians can help improve
people's information literacy and form a better understanding of important social and
environmental issues. However, it is not only influencer librarians who spread quality
information and sustainable development principles on social media. Individuals active on
social media, online communities, businesses, public figures and celebrities also play a role.
They each have the ability to spread relevant content and help raise public awareness of these
important issues.
The role of social media in advocacy campaigns
Advocacy campaigns on social media are efforts to support an issue or voice a cause
using social media features and tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others.
Organizations, individuals, and community groups can leverage social media to spread
messages, encourage support, and drive action.
Instagram is one of the most influential social media in communication and data
exchange activities. The organization conducts campaign activities on its Instagram account,
@greenpeaceid, with the aim of informing Instagram users about environmental damage that
occurs specifically in Indonesia and increasing public awareness to preserve the environment.
(Fadli & Sazali, 2023)
The Instagram account @greepeaceid shared a post about how the indigenous people
of Grime Nawa, Papua, take good care of their environment. The information on the post tells
about the various kinds of living things that exist in their area and how indigenous people
today live peacefully and in friendship with their environment. In addition, the public also
gave positive comments on the upload, which shows that protecting nature is a gift from God,
which is a good thing to do together. (Fadli & Sazali, 2023)
The situation in Grime Nawa, Papua, in this context shows how important indigenous
peoples are in environmental conservation. For years, indigenous people in the area have been
protecting the environment by living a peaceful and eco-friendly lifestyle. This information
was shared through @greenpeaceid's Instagram account, showing how social media can also
be used to promote environmental conservation principles and raise their voices. The positive
public response to @greenpeaceid's posts shows public awareness of the importance of nature
conservation. This is in line with one of the goals of the 2030 SDGs, which is to increase
public awareness of sustainability issues.
Social media helps in achieving the goals as it enables rapid and wide dissemination of
information. In accordance with the principles of SDGs 2030, advocacy campaigns driven by
social media have the potential to mobilize larger movements to support indigenous peoples'
rights and environmental conservation. This campaign can gain significant support and action
from various parties, which is an important step in achieving sustainable development goals.

Analyzing the role of Social Media in Raising Awareness of the 2030 Sustainable
Development Goals
In this discussion, we will outline the important role of social media in driving social
transformation in this digital era, focusing on how social media can be an effective tool to
raise awareness and to support the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
The following are some of the roles of social media in improving SDG 2030 that have been
found in this research:
The role of social media as a tool for public education
In an increasingly connected digital age, the role of social media in supporting
education is crucial. With the entry of technology into education, there are many new
opportunities to build a more inclusive and high-quality learning system. Issues such as
distance and limited access to educational resources can now be overcome with advances in
information and communication technology. UNESCO emphasizes that technology is critical
in improving access to education globally, especially for people living in remote places.
Technology can also help students who have special needs, such as the deaf or blind,
learn on their own. Interactive simulations can help students understand abstract concepts and
acquire practical skills, while mobile and video learning applications can provide easy and
flexible access to learning materials. (Ramadhani, 2023)
In addition, technology-based inclusive education can help Indonesia achieve the 2030
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as it can reduce the education gap and teach children
the skills needed to face global challenges such as the industrial revolution 4.0 and global
issues such as poverty and climate change. This is in line with the constructivism theory of
education, which focuses on the active role of students in the learning process. According to
this theory, students acquire their own knowledge through active and interactive learning
experiences with their environment. In situations like this, technology can be a useful tool to
help students expand their knowledge. Students can process and access data in an easier and
interactive way with the help of advanced technology. For example, videos and animations,
which are examples of technology-based learning media, can help students in understanding
concepts that are more visual and interactive (Verrawati & Mustadi, 2018).
In this case, social media serves as a good tool to help students learn. Appropriate and
innovative technologies such as social media platforms allow students to access data or
information more easily and interactively. For example, video sharing platforms such as
YouTube or visual content sharing platforms such as Instagram and Pinterest can be used to
provide a variety of engaging learning resources. Students can access educational content
such as learning videos, infographics, images and other content in a more visual and
interactive way through social media. In addition, online discussions can improve students'
understanding and knowledge as well as engagement in the learning process by enabling the
exchange of ideas and experiences between students, teachers and experts in a particular field.
Utilizing social media as an additional learning resource can help students expand their
knowledge and understanding of various topics, including sustainable development goals. It
creates a more inclusive and collaborative learning environment where students can work
together and learn independently.
The role of social media in information dissemination
The Industrial Revolution 4.0, characterized by the incorporation of digital technology
into production and communication processes, has changed the way we share information in
today's digital age. This transformation has had a significant impact on information
dissemination, especially through social media and other online platforms. A new profession
that has emerged in the 21st century is often called influencer. Where an influncer is a
phenomenon that is closely related to digital natives. Influencers often have a strong
experience and understanding of online dynamics before they can successfully influence their
audiences in a big way through social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube and
TikTok.
The characteristics of the digital native generation have a new way of socializing,
namely by using social media. This phenomenon can be utilized by librarians to become
influencers. The use of social media for libraries today is not new. Libraries usually use social
media to promote their collections and services. However, with the development of a digital
society that can hardly be separated from the internet, social media seems to be able to be
used for much greater purposes than just promotional media.(Kurniasih, 2016).
With influencer librarians providing education to digital natives through social media
in the form of information repackaging, Indonesian human resources are expected to get
quality education. Coupled with the ease of understanding information that has been
repackaged, the public will have information literacy skills which will then implement the
information obtained from influencer librarians. For SDGs to be successful, it also requires
awareness by Indonesian human resources, especially those who are literate, to support
sustainable development. So that influencer librarians also need to provide education in
instilling the main values of the Sustainable Development Goals. (Krismayani, 2019)
The role of influencer librarians in providing information or education has a positive
impact although it still has some challenges to form a bond with the public especially digital
natives, they provide information that is easy to understand and encourage people to
implement environmentally friendly and sustainable practices with their skills in repackaging
information and active presence on social media. Influencer librarians can help improve
people's information literacy and form a better understanding of important social and
environmental issues. However, it is not only influencer librarians who spread quality
information and sustainable development principles on social media. Individuals active on
social media, online communities, businesses, public figures and celebrities also play a role.
They each have the ability to spread relevant content and help raise public awareness of these
important issues.
The role of social media in advocacy campaigns

using social media features and tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others.
