Abstract

Plantation of trees is an activity to shape the character of students who care about the environment. This community service activity aims to foster a sense of environmental awareness to shape students' character through tree planting, which is one of the efforts to green the environment. This activity is a collaboration between the Faculty of Economics and Business of Swadaya Gunung Jati University Indonesia, Panca Sakti University Tegal Indonesia, Thai Globa Business Administration Technological College Thailand (TGBC Thailand), Suan Dusit University and Eastern Institute for Integrated Learning in Management University India. Community service activities were conducted at TGBC Thailand, with 50 participants consisting of 20 students and 30 lecturers.  With this community service activity, students' character is formed by caring for the environment through tree planting activities in the surrounding environment. Besides, students can work together as a team, support each other, and strengthen their social ties to protect the environment.
