PERAN FORUM KOMUNIKASI ANAK KOTA BANDUNG MELALUI PROGRAM PANGLIMA DALAM MEMBANGUN KESADARAN ANTI-BULLYING (Studi Kasus Sekolah Dasar Swasta As-Salam)

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the socialization strategies carried out by the Forum

Komunikasi Anak Kota Bandung (FOKAB) through the PANGLIMA program as an

effort to prevent bullying in elementary schools. The research employs a qualitative

approach with a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth

interviews, observations, and document analysis. The research informants

consisted of FOKAB administrators and facilitators, teachers at SDS As-Salam, and

elementary school students. The findings show that the PANGLIMA socialization

strategy was designed in a creative and contextual manner through role-playing

methods, the use of visual media, and the symbolic approach of "7M", which helps

children understand practical actions to take when facing bullying. This strategy

proved effective in increasing students’ awareness of the forms and impact of

bullying, as well as in fostering empathy and the courage to take action. Although

the program was well implemented, obstacles were found in the form of limited

follow-up from external parties and suboptimal coordination between the school and

FOKAB after the activity. Therefore, program sustainability and synergy among all

stakeholders are needed to create a truly safe and child-friendly school

environment.
