SMP Kristen Yahya Bandung
Highlight
SMP Kristen Yahya implements the Breaking Down The Walls (BDW) program, focusing on character education related to diversity and tolerance.
Project Overview
SMP Kristen Yahya collaborates with SMP 8 Muhammadiyah Bandung to implement the Breaking Down The Walls (BDW) program, which focuses on building character education, particularly in the values of diversity and tolerance. The program aims to eliminate prejudice and create mutual understanding between students from different religious backgrounds.
Strategy
The BDW program at SMP Kristen Yahya seeks to address prejudice among students by providing opportunities for direct interaction with students from other schools who have different religious backgrounds. This method allows students to clarify the prejudices they hold by engaging in real-life experiences, rather than just learning theoretical concepts in class.
Results & Impact
The BDW program has had a significant impact on SMP Kristen Yahya's students. Initially, students harbored prejudices against people from different religious backgrounds, but after interacting with students from SMP Muhammadiyah 8 Bandung, they successfully overcame these biases. Students who were initially apprehensive now view differences in a more open and tolerant manner.
Why This Program Matters
The BDW program is essential for building a student character rooted in empathy, tolerance, and peace. By offering real-life experiences that involve interaction with students from different religious backgrounds, this program helps students challenge their prejudices and build mutual respect. This is crucial for creating a generation prepared to face the increasingly diverse social challenges of today.
