Optimalisasi Program Edukatif Interaktif Anti-Bullying untuk Menanamkan Nilai Toleransi dan Empati Sejak Dini

Abstract

This community service activity aimed to provide anti-bullyingeducation to elementary school students as a preventive effort to instill values of tolerance, empathy, and mutual respect from an early age. The activity was conducted at SDN Blawe, Kediri, over two days and involved 91 students from grades 1 to 6. The methods used included interactive counseling through visual media, educational games, group discussions, and follow-up assistance that encouraged active student participation. Evaluation was carried out by observing students' responses through written expressions or drawings regarding their understanding of bullying. The results showed that most students began to understand the forms of bullyingand the importance of creating a safe and comfortable school environment. This education successfully increased students' awareness, although there were variations in understanding, indicating the need for a more equitable and sustainable educational approach. The program is expected to shape students’ anti- bullyingcharacter and encourage them to become agents of change within their school environment.
