UNISA Community Service Program Spreads Anti-Bullying Education at Notoprajan Elementary School

The prevalence of bullying cases has become a serious concern for the education sector. In response to this challenge, students from the Community Service Program (KKN) of Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta Group 71 held an anti-bullying and ethics education activity at SD Negeri Serangan, Notoprajan, Ngampilan, Yogyakarta, on Monday (08/25/2025). The activity was attended by 17 fifth-grade students and was directly supervised by the Field Supervisor (DPL), Bdn. Siti Arifah, S.ST., M.H.Kes.

The activity began with a cheerful introduction session, followed by chants to lighten the mood. UNISA Yogyakarta KKN students then explained in simple terms the meaning and types of bullying, both verbal and non-verbal, that often occur in school environments. The students were invited to discuss how to refuse, avoid, and report bullying appropriately.

The students also provided material on the importance of ethics in daily life, such as speaking politely to teachers and friends, maintaining cleanliness, and respecting one another. To reinforce understanding, the students were involved in role-playing games that illustrated bullying situations and ethical behavior. Through this method, the students could directly practice the correct way to behave.

Arifah, as the DPL, explained that the highlight of this activity was the creative session of making anti-bullying posters. Students expressed their understanding through pictures and writing, such as “Stop Bullying” and “Respect Teachers and Friends.” The posters were then displayed in the classroom as reminders.

“Say No to Bullying, Say Yes to Ethics!” was the closing slogan chanted in unison by all students and KKN participants. This activity not only broadened their knowledge but also instilled positive values so that students can create a safe, comfortable, and harmonious school environment.
