Abstract

The enhancement of literary appreciation requires the involvement of various elements to achieve tangible results and impacts. Two important elements in this synergistic form are government institutions and literary communities. Festival Sastra Kota Lulo (FSKL), organized by the Pustaka Kabanti community in 2023, is the result of community strengthening support from the Language Agency of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology. FSKL involved various community elements, including children, in the organization of the festival program. The efforts to enhance literary appreciation through FSKL in Kendari City are useful for examining the various literary programs in their diverse forms. The festival was held in the midst of a residential area, involving residents, literary communities, students, university students, and writers to revitalize the literary ecosystem through increased literary appreciation. The festival had a positive impact, as it included the publication of children’s books, works by writers, performances, and literary discussions. Therefore, this study aims to examine the various festival agendas to observe the activities that impact the organic literary life. This study aims to describe the efforts to enhance literary appreciation carried out by Pustaka Kabanti through FSKL. The research uses literary data from various sources, including activity reports, literary texts, journals, books, archives, and mass media. Data analysis techniques begin with reading the literature, followed by the interpretation of the data until the efforts to enhance literary appreciation and its impact on the Kendari community are identified. This study uses the perspective of synergy between Pustaka Kabanti, the Language Agency, and the participants of the FSKL activities. The results of this study show various organic activities found at FSKL as a way to enhance literary appreciation, as well as the impact on the community of Kendari City.
