The research instrument used the PYD 12 Cs questionnaire and the 21st century skills questionnaire conducted before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the paired sample T-Test, variance analysis (ANOVA oneway) and independent sample T-Test. The results of the study in the PYD 12 Cs variable showed that 4 groups of programs had an increase in scores, with the highest increase occurring in the A1 group. Meanwhile, the 21st century skills variable shows that 4 program groups have an increase in scores, with the highest increase occurring in the A2 group. These findings indicate that the principle of integration in OE should be a key strategy in supporting adolescent development and preparing them for future global challenges.
