Abstract

Peace education is a crucial element in creating a tolerant and harmonious generation, especially at the elementary school level. The implementation of this education aims to instil the values ​​of peace, empathy, and respect for differences among students. This study explores various methods and strategies applied in peace education, including curriculum integration, extracurricular activities, and school community involvement. Students are invited to understand the importance of dialogue, conflict resolution, and cross-cultural cooperation through a holistic approach. The study results at SDN 1 Kwandang showed that students involved in the peace education program showed a significant increase in attitudes of tolerance, both in daily interactions and in conflict resolution. In addition, they also showed a decrease in aggressive behavior and an increase in social skills. The importance of the role of teachers and parents in supporting peace education is also highlighted, where collaboration between schools and families can strengthen the values ​​taught. Thus, peace education not only functions as a subject but also as a foundation for student character development. This study recommends strengthening peace education programs in elementary schools as a strategic step to build sustainable attitudes of tolerance and create a more inclusive and peaceful learning environment.
