Keywords:

Abstract
The Batobo tradition is a practice of mutual cooperation in agriculture that is still maintained by the community in an area precisely in Sagari Sijunjung. More than just cooperation in cultivating land, this tradition contains various character education values that are passed down from generation to generation. This research aims to examine the character education values contained in the Batobo tradition and its role in the social life of the community. The research approach used is qualitative with Ethnographic method. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and literature study. The results showed that Batobo teaches values such as togetherness, responsibility, hard work, discipline, and solidarity. These values are embedded in the social interactions of the community and contribute to the formation of individual characters who are oriented towards cooperation and social care, the sustainability of the Batobo tradition is proof that local wisdom can play a role in building the character of the younger generation, especially in facing the challenges of Modernization. Local wisdom is a way of life and science as well as various life strategies that manifest themselves as activities carried out by local communities, community life is certainly inseparable from various daily activities carried out to meet needs, both individual and social needs.
