<![CDATA[Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health issue in Indonesia, particularly among adolescents, a group characterized by low health literacy. A lack of educational materials that are both engaging and tailored to the characteristics of adolescents has hindered the optimal dissemination of information regarding early detection and TB prevention. This community service initiative aimed to enhance the capacity of peer educators to develop and utilize innovative, local culture-based educational media specifically, comics in local languages and educational games. The activity took place on June 20–21, 2026, at Cafe Squid in collaboration with *Laboran Mengabdi Indonesia* and involved 15 participants. The implementation process included partner coordination, material development, pre-testing, content delivery, simulations of the comics and games, interactive discussions, post-testing, and activity evaluation. Results showed an increase in participant knowledge, with the average score rising from 61.3 in the pre-test to 89.3 in the post-test. Participants also demonstrated improved skills in creating health promotion materials that were engaging, communicative, and culturally relevant. The outputs included educational comics, educational board games, health posters, and other supporting media that can be utilized sustainably by schools, community health centers, and local communities. This initiative demonstrates that local culture-based educational media effectively improve health literacy and hold the potential to support efforts to accelerate TB elimination in Indonesia.]]>
