Bullying remains a pervasive issue in schools, impacting students’ academic performance, emotional well-being, and social development. This study explores the integration of Javanese proverbs (unen-unen) through video-based media as a contextual approach to anti-bullying education at SMK Brawijaya Ponorogo. Utilizing a descriptive quantitative method, the research involved 17 eleventh-grade students and employed observation sheets and questionnaires to assess their understanding of bullying concepts and the influence of Javanese proverbs on their social attitudes. Findings indicate that the video media effectively enhanced students’ comprehension of bullying, with an average score of 4.35 for understanding bullying definitions and 4.47 for recognizing bullying as inappropriate. The proverbs fostered reflective attitudes, with 64.8% of students reconsidering their behavior toward peers. However, challenges arose for non-Javanese students due to unfamiliarity with the cultural context, necessitating adaptive strategies like group discussions to bridge understanding gaps. This approach not only improved students’ moral awareness and rejection of bullying but also promoted cultural preservation and inclusive dialogue. The study underscores the potential of local wisdom-based education in creating transformative, culturally relevant learning experiences for addressing social issues in diverse school settings.
