Alejandro AlvarezMarin, 2.
Creativity can involve an individual in a group or organization (Wu & Chen, 2.
The creative industry is a collection of economic activities related to creativity by involving individuals, companies, and regions (Marlinah, 2.

and easily available resources (Tripathi, 2.

However, pesantren education is the oldest education ever in Indonesia and is considered a product of indigenous Indonesian culture (Bustomi & Umam, 2.
Pesantren with the concept of a balance of moral education .
and social and economic .
is a philosophy that Islam is a mercy for all nature (Rahmatan Lil'aalamii.
(Adnan, 2.
Pesantren is not an educational institution or community that has a negative stigma, such as a daycare center that the family can no longer handle from a moral, spiritual and economic point of view as well as a negative stigma which is referred to as a "terrorist nest".
According to the research results of the Research and Development Center (Puslitban.
for Religious and Religious Education of the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia .
that globalization gives color to the world of Islamic boarding schools caused by the tendency of global co-optation or the international world to marginalize, which in the end the world of Islamic boarding schools is faced with choices.
the choice of either being reactive or playing an active role.
A reactive attitude produces a negative stigma among the international community, such as Islamic boarding schools being considered radical, conservative and even as a hotbed for terrorists (Bustomi & Umam, 2.
Developing character and economic skills, having a social spirit, and cooperating with entrepreneurial activities such as fish farming and animal husbandry, motorcycle repair shops, grocery stalls and the Pondok Pesantren Cooperative (Kopontre.
as a holding company for mutual prosperity.

have carried out various innovations to increase their role and at the same time empower their potential for the benefit of the environment, including establishing the Cooperative Pondok Pesantren (Kopontre.

, as a cadre of rural cooperatives, and as a socio-economic stimulator of rural communities around Islamic boarding schools (Marlinah, 2.

that is relevant to the goals of the cooperative that was established, is managed legally with the provisions of joint regulations and is prosperous for the members together (Bustomi & Umam, 2.
the entrepreneurial education process carried out in Islamic boarding schools by training students to manage economic institutions so that in addition to having a strong religious knowledge, they also have an entrepreneurial spirit for life (Yuni, 2010.
Burhanuddin, et al.
, 2.
Islamic boarding schools provide empowerment to students with skills or expertise in the field of economics such as cooperatives as an effort to forge mental independence (Bustomi & Umam, 2.
Islamic boarding school educational institutions that have the potential to develop socio-religious and socio-economic character and skills are an important and interesting study, especially about Kopontren.
So the purpose of the study is to analyze the empowerment of the Islamic Boarding School Cooperative as a social and economic education for students.
