The purpose of writing this article is to describe the relationship between the character-building curriculum based on the perspective of the humanistic curriculum model, describe the relationship between the character-building curriculum based on existentialism philosophy, and decrypt the form of activities in the character-building training curriculum. Researchers use descriptive methods to provide an overview of the phenomena and thoughts being studied through documentation and literature studies using relevant data sources from the research topic to conclude.

Meanwhile, according to the existentialist perspective, the activities of the character-building curriculum emphasize individual freedom, personal responsibility, and the search for the meaning of life, emphasizing existentialist concepts such as freedom, responsibility, independence, and authenticity.
