<![CDATA[The AYAT (Aparatur Yakin Amalan Takziah) program in Nagari Pasia Laweh, Palupuah District, Agam Regency, represents a community-based initiative aimed at strengthening social solidarity through organized condolence activities and assistance for bereaved families. Although the program has been implemented across ten jorong, its management remains concentrated at the nagari level, while limited communication and varying community understanding have constrained its development within individual jorong. This community engagement activity aimed to design a bilingual module as an informative and promotional medium to improve public understanding of the objectives, procedures, benefits, and social values of the AYAT program. The activity was conducted in June 2026 using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach involving nagari and jorong officials as well as community members in Nagari Pasia Laweh. Data were obtained through field observation, interviews, participatory discussions, documentation, and module assessment. The results produced a bilingual AYAT module containing information on the program profile, objectives, benefits, condolence procedures, assistance mechanisms, and the importance of strengthening implementation at the jorong level. The participatory process also identified communication gaps and differences in community perceptions regarding condolence practices. The resulting module contributes a practical communication instrument that can be reused by local officials to disseminate standardized information and support the development of AYAT at the jorong level. The activity concludes that participatory media development is relevant for strengthening communication, shared understanding, and the sustainability of community-based social initiatives.]]>
