Abstract
Bullying in primary schools may occur verbally, physically, socially, or digitally, while some harmful behaviors are still perceived as jokes. This community service activity aimed to strengthen anti-bullying awareness among students of SD Negeri 2 Kalimanggis through communicative and participatory education. Activities included school coordination, material delivery, video viewing, case discussion, question-and-answer sessions, reflection, and anti-bullying songs and chants. Evaluation was descriptive, based on student engagement, responses, and answers to scenarios. During the activity, students participated in identifying harmful behaviors, distinguishing healthy joking from actions that cause discomfort, and identifying safer responses when experiencing or witnessing bullying. The program also emphasized empathy, respect for differences, bystander responsibility, and help-seeking. These findings indicate learning processes during the activity rather than causal behavioral change. Continued reinforcement by teachers, families, and the school is needed to translate anti-bullying messages into safer everyday social practices.
