INTRODUCTION
The VUCA (Volatility.

era has become a term often used to describe the current world conditions that are full of uncertainty and rapid change.
In the context of education, this challenge is becoming increasingly urgent, especially when educational institutions are required to prepare the younger generation to be able to adapt to the changing dynamics of the times (Nyyez-Canal et al.
, 2.
The main characteristics of the VUCA era include rapid and unpredictable changes, uncertainties that make long-term planning complicated, and complexities stemming from the interconnection of various social, economic and technological factors (Alamin et al.
, 2023.
Rani Afkarina et al.
, 2.
This requires educators to design a flexible Proceedings homepage: https://conferenceproceedings.
id/pssh/issue/view/36 ISSN: 2808-103X and responsive curriculum that focuses not only on mastering the material, but also on developing critical thinking skills, creativity and collaborative abilities.
A more interactive and project-based learning approach is important, so that students are not only recipients of information, but also active actors in the learning process (Hosman & Jacobs, 2.
Thus, education must be able to produce graduates who are not only academically prepared, but also have practical and social skills that are relevant to the demands of the times.
In the context of teaching Indonesian language and literature, the VUCA era brings unique challenges.
Language and literature as part of Indonesia's cultural heritage need to be transmitted in a way that is relevant and responsive to social and cultural changes.
Teaching language and literature can no longer be done with conventional methods that rely solely on textbooks and memorization (Rumbouw, 2.
Instead, there needs to be an approach that prioritizes the cultural and historical context that lives in society.
This includes the introduction of local wisdom that exists in various regions in Indonesia, which can provide color and depth in Through the utilization of local wisdom, students can learn not only the language, but also the values, norms and traditions contained in their culture (Sagala et al.
, 2.
This will help them understand and appreciate Indonesia's cultural diversity and increase their sense of identity and pride in their heritage.
In this way, teaching language and literature becomes more meaningful and relevant, and can foster a love for Indonesian language and Local wisdom refers to the system of knowledge, values, and practices that have been developed by local communities in interacting with their environment (Heri et al.
, 2021.
Uspayanti et al.
, 2.
In the context of language and literature education, local wisdom has great potential to be a rich and valuable resource.
Local wisdom not only offers a unique and authentic perspective, but can also enrich the learning process (Idhayani et , 2023.
Loke et al.
, 2.
By incorporating elements of local wisdom, such as folklore, proverbs and oral traditions, teaching becomes more vivid and relevant to students.
For example Kusmana et al .
, the use of folktales as teaching materials can help students understand narrative structure, characterization, and moral messages, while introducing them to the cultural values contained in the stories.
In addition, an understanding of local languages and dialects can also increase students' sense of pride in their own language, as well as encourage them to preserve existing cultural heritage.
Thus, the integration of local wisdom in Indonesian language and literature teaching is not only beneficial for language acquisition, but also for students' character and identity Integration of local wisdom in teaching Indonesian language and literature can be done through various innovative approaches.
First, the development of teaching materials based on local wisdom is very important.
This can be done by utilizing folklore, proverbs, and traditional cultural values as learning materials (Azizah & Alnashr.
Mastiah et al.
, 2.
For example Ryshina-Pankova et al .
, educators can invite students to analyze folklore from a particular region, understand the cultural context, and explore the values contained therein.
Second, the transformation of literary works based on local wisdom into another approach that can be used.
exploring and representing local wisdom in literary texts, students not only learn about literature, but also experience and appreciate their cultural heritage (Nurbaya & Abbas, 2.
Third, the development of local linguistics involving the study of regional languages and local dialects is also important to enrich Indonesian language learning (Rokhman, 2020: 166.
Sara Dwi Anjani & Iskandarsyah Siregar, 2.
This approach will not only broaden students' horizons about linguistic diversity, but also increase their awareness of the importance of preserving regional languages.
Finally, innovation in learning Indonesian language and literature by utilizing digital technology and collaborative methods (Lisnawati et al.
, 2023.
Wijaya et al.
, 2.
Can also increase student engagement, making learning more interactive and enjoyable.
The use of local wisdom in teaching Indonesian language and literature in the VUCA era has great potential to strengthen students' cultural identity, increase the relevance of learning, and encourage creativity and critical thinking skills (Angga et al.
, 2.
By linking learning to the local cultural context, students can more easily understand and appreciate the cultural diversity that exists in Indonesia.
In addition, this approach is also in line with the goals of Indonesian national education which focus on character formation, mastery of knowledge, and development of skills needed to face the challenges of the times.
In this context, local wisdom not only functions as learning content, but also as a tool to shape students' critical and creative mindsets.
Thus, the integration of local wisdom in teaching language and literature becomes very relevant and urgent in an effort to create a generation that is ready to face global challenges.
Although the use of local wisdom in teaching Indonesian language and literature in the VUCA era has many benefits, there are challenges that need to be overcome.
One of the main challenges is the low understanding and awareness among educators about the potential of local wisdom to enrich the learning process.
Many educators are still trapped in conventional methods, without realizing that local wisdom can be a very valuable In addition, the limited availability of teaching materials and learning resources based on local wisdom is another obstacle.
Many materials have not been well integrated into the curriculum, making them difficult to implement in daily teaching.
The lack of policy and infrastructure support, such as training for educators and the provision of adequate resources, is also a inhibiting factor.
Therefore, an in-depth study is needed to explore the Proceedings homepage: https://conferenceproceedings.

Challenges and Opportunities for Integrating Local Wisdom in Teaching Indonesian Language and Literature in the VUCA Era Integration of local wisdom in teaching Indonesian language and literature in the VUCA era faces several challenges, but also opens up opportunities that can be utilized.
Challenges Diversity and complexity of local wisdom Indonesia has a very wide and complex diversity of local wisdom, which can be a challenge in selecting, integrating, and managing local wisdom that is relevant to learning needs.
Limited understanding and appreciation of local wisdom There are still limited understanding and appreciation of local wisdom, both among educators and students.
This can be an obstacle in efforts to integrate local wisdom effectively.
cGlobally oriented curriculum and learning The curriculum and learning practices in Indonesia currently tend to be globally oriented, so that special efforts are needed to integrate local wisdom systematically and in a planned manner.
Lack of resources and institutional support Integration of local wisdom in teaching Indonesian language and literature requires resources, both in the form of teaching materials, educator training, and institutional support, which are still limited.
Resistance to change Changes in the practice of teaching Indonesian language and literature to accommodate local wisdom can cause resistance from parties who are accustomed to conventional approaches.
Opportunity Government policies and commitments The Indonesian government has demonstrated its commitment to preserving and utilizing local wisdom, including through educational policies.
This can be an opportunity to integrate local wisdom into the teaching of Indonesian language and literature.
Proceedings homepage: https://conferenceproceedings.
