<![CDATA[Indonesia is a multicultural country consisting of various ethnicities, cultures, religions and languages. Therefore, it is important to instill the values of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika from an early age, especially in elementary school students, so that tolerance and mutual respect grow in everyday life. Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) as a religious value-based basic education institution has great potential in shaping students' character of diversity. This activity uses a descriptive qualitative approach with three main implementation methods, namely community education, practice-based training, and teacher advocacy. Activities are carried out through socialization, social simulation, cross-cultural games, and teacher assistance in integrating the value of diversity into learning. The observation results showed an increase in students' social attitudes after the activity. Tolerance increased from 53% to 82%, group cooperation from 61% to 85%, and other indicators such as greeting and not mocking friends also increased significantly. The activity is considered effective in building students' inclusive and empathic attitudes towards differences. The model of cultivating the value of Unity in Diversity through thematic approaches and social practices has proven effective in shaping the character of madrasah students. Although there are still constraints in terms of time constraints and teacher training needs, this approach can be used as a good practice in diversity-based character education at the primary school level.]]>
