The development of digital technology has brought big changes in the order of life and even gave birth to a new world civilization for mankind. Digital technology has been integrated into everyday social life. Now, the role of digital technology is increasingly dominant when the world faces the spread of the Covid-19 virus. A pandemic situation forces humans to limit the occurrence of direct social relationships and divert them into virtually mediated relationships through digital technology. This new world needs to be addressed scientifically, especially from the perspective of social sciences, humanities, and education to evaluate and develop science from the aspects of methods, studies, scientific theoretical substance, and good practice in order to find appropriate academic reasoning in facing ongoing changes. The 6th International Conference on Education and Social Sciences (ICESS) 2021 which held virtually on 9th - 10th April 2021, aims to bring together researchers, teachers, scientists, and scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of social science, humanity, and education. The conference is expected to bring about strategy, best practices, and solutions contributing to the efforts to beat the covid-19 pandemic.

The proceeding is a compilation of the accepted papers and represent an interesting outcome of the conference. Topics include but are not limited to the themes: Digital Technology on Social Sciences, Humanities, and Education. As well as the sub themes: 1) Social studies learning in the digital era, 2) Social research and digital sources, 3) Oral tradition, 4) Digitalize Memory & Public History, 5) Community, democracy, and policy on the new normal era, 6) Digital Culture & Society, 7) Disaster Management, 8) Environmental Problems and Conservation, 9) The industrial revolution and social change, 10) Global pandemic on social aspects, and 11) Humanities learning in the digital era. All the papers have been through rigorous review and process to meet the requirements of international publication standard.

We would like to acknowledge the organizing committee and all of the editors for their valuable assistance and support. We also would like to express our gratitude to the distinguished invited speakers and authors/presenters for sharing idea in the conference. Special thanks to Atlantis Press.

We hope that the 6th ICESS 2021 could be a forum for excellent discussions that triggered new ideas and promoting collaborative research. We believe that the proceeding will be one of important research source of references and knowledge.

Our gratitude,
Committee of the 6th ICESS 2021
