<![CDATA[Bullying prevention education is important at the elementary school level because teasing, name-calling, exclusion, or physical actions may be perceived by children as ordinary joking. This community service activity aimed to strengthen elementary school students’ awareness of bullying, including its meaning, physical, verbal, social, and cyber forms, impacts, and prevention. The activity was organized by UMRAH's KKN Group 15 on 14 August 2026, targeting students at MIN 2 Bintan, Pangkil Village, Teluk Bintan District, Bintan Regency, Riau Islands Province, involving 62 students from grades I–VI. An educational and participatory approach was implemented through PowerPoint-based material delivery, a short parody video, an oral quiz, and a reflective Hope Tree (Pohon Harapan) activity. Evaluation was descriptive and based on students’ responses, quiz answers, and written reflections. The activity showed that students were able to identify several forms of bullying, distinguish bullying from joking, and mention appropriate actions when witnessing a peer being bullied. The Hope Tree provided an opportunity for students to express expectations for a safe and respectful school environment. Because no pre-test or post-test was administered and the activity lasted one day, the findings are not interpreted as statistical improvement or long-term behavioral change. The activity indicates that visual and audiovisual education combined with reflection can serve as an initial preventive strategy for strengthening students’ awareness of bullying.]]>
