Panggung Gembira, Santri Artistic Expression, Modern Islamic Boarding SchoolAbstract
Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) are not only centers for religious education but also spaces for fostering students’ creativity, character, and social competence. One innovative program implemented at Nurussalam Modern Islamic Boarding School is Panggung Gembira, an annual cultural and artistic event designed as a medium for students’ artistic expression within Islamic values. This study aims to explore the implementation of Panggung Gembira and analyze its contribution to students’ creative skills, self-confidence, leadership, and character development. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation analysis. The findings reveal that Panggung Gembira functions as a structured educational intervention that integrates visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning experiences, enabling students to develop creativity, responsibility, collaboration, and moral awareness simultaneously. Beyond entertainment, the event serves as an effective platform for character education and holistic learning grounded in Islamic principles. This study contributes to the growing discourse on arts-based and multisensory learning in religious education by demonstrating how cultural performance activities can enhance students’ personal and social development in pesantren contexts.
