Pundi Amal Peduli Kasih Foundation has partnered with Bank Tabungan Negara (BTN) to hold the Anti-Bullying Education program on February 2, 2024 at South Pontianak State Elementary School 03, Pontianak City, West Kalimantan.
A total of 695 students from first to sixth grade took part in this educational activity led by Resha Rashtrapatiji, a storyteller and literacy activist known for his use of Edutainment (Education and Entertainment).
He discussed the topic of bullying, from its meaning down to the different types of bullying and how to prevent them. Anti-Bullying Education also aims to create a safer environment and prevent the act of bullying, while also providing in-depth understanding and practical steps for students to follow when they encounter bullying in real life.
The manager of BTN Pontianak Branch Office, Ardityas Dwi Atmoko, showed support for the program with his presence throughout the event led by Resha.
Sahiri, as the head of South Pontianak State Elementary School 03, thanked YPP for Anti-Bullying Education due to its alignment with a program introduced by the government, the Child-Friendly School (SRA). These are schools that avoid subjecting students to verbal and physical abuse as a form of punishment.
