The participants chose three issues to be analyzed, investigated and solved :
- Some teachers in schools give physical punishment to their students.
- Some Junior High School students in Kepahyang district can't read or write
- Students aren't enthusiats in learning due to lack of school facilities.

IV. Teachers' Opinions
From the interview with the teachers and principals, it is found that they are really happy to be trained. Civic teachers in Kepahyang district were never trained before by any institutions or by the Local Educational Office. They feel that they are neglected. So when CCE Indonesia with the coordinators gave the training and explained about “Kami Bangsa Indonesia,” they are very enthusiast and eager to know about it. They are also amazed by the modern facilities (LCD, Overhead Projector, Laptop) that the coordinators use to present or explain the program. This facilities are available in cooperation with the Center of Learning Resources, Lampung State University.
V. Conclusion
Many civic teachers in other regencies or districts in Bengkulu who haven't got the training ask CCE Indonesia to give them training on “Kami Bangsa Indonesia” since they hear from their friends who got the training that “Kami Bangsa Indonesia” is an interesting and innovative method to be implemented in the classrooms. In conclusion, the training in Kepahyiang district run well. This happened because of good cooperation between CCE Indonesia, CCE Lampung team, Kepahyang Regency and the Local Educational Office.
