Participation in the 3R catwalk competition provides many benefits for students. This event also helps students to overcome nervousness and build self-confidence to appear in public.

Students' awareness and involvement in waste management is a form of social capital to create a clean living culture as part of the identity and character of the Indonesian people.

"Honestly, at first I was very nervous to appear in public (runway), especially with clothes like this. But, after walking for a while on the stage (runway), unconsciously, I had overcome my nervousness and appeared confident. Then, I am also happy to be able to participate in the competition that was just held this time, I like the concept that combines style with environmentally friendly culture," said Yesika Sianturi, a student of class XII MIA 1, who also took the role as a female fashion model representing her class.

Yesika explained that this catwalk competition activity can increase courage and build self-confidence. In addition, by displaying a 3R exhibition, it can convey an implicit meaning of concern for the environment and the importance of a sustainable lifestyle culture.

This 3R catwalk event is a real example of how education can be used as a means to shape character and environmental awareness in the younger generation. By combining the values of Pancasila with the 3R concept, students are invited to be part of positive change in realizing a society that is more caring and has a sustainable lifestyle culture. This activity also offers creative solutions by combining fashion style with concern for the environment.

Through participation in activities like this, it is hoped that the young generation of Indonesia can grow into responsible, creative, innovative individuals with high environmental awareness. However, they will also be able to face future challenges and make positive contributions to the development of the nation and state.
