SMAK Yahya Bandung

Sekolah Kristen Yahya Bandung received an invitation to participate in the JISRA—Youth for Peace program. Four students who developed anti-bullying projects at their school represented Sekolah Kristen Yahya Bandung.

Why does SMAK Yahya Bandung Implement the JISRA - Youth for Peace Program?

In previous years, Sekolah Kristen Yahya Bandung had collaborated with PeaceGen through the Breaking Down The Wall (BDW) activity at the junior high school level, specifically SMPK Yahya Bandung, in collaboration with SMP Muhammadiyah 8 Bandung. 

This time, the JISRA - Youth for Peace program allowed the high school level, specifically SMAK Yahya Bandung, to participate and develop an anti-bullying project. Four students from SMAK Yahya Bandung participated as representatives from the school.

What is the Impact of the JISRA - Youth for Peace Program at SMAK Yahya Bandung?

One of the participants, Darlyne, experienced a significant impact from the JISRA - Youth for Peace program. Born in Papua and raised in Bandung, Darlyne had limited interaction with peers from different backgrounds, given her Christian faith.

Darlyne felt a profound and positive impact from the program. Before being selected to participate, she was not a particularly prominent student. However, after participating in Youth for Peace, Darlyne actively sought to befriend all students at her school and confidently demonstrated leadership in her class.
