Review

This article presents a timely and highly relevant exploration into the development and application of poster media as an educational tool for fostering religious moderation in Bangsri Village. In an increasingly pluralistic world, the pursuit of harmony, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence is paramount, making the study's focus on these values particularly significant. The clear objective of targeting teenagers, a demographic acknowledged as vulnerable to intolerance, demonstrates a strategic and forward-thinking approach to community education and peacebuilding. The research employs a qualitative methodology, which appears well-suited to understanding the nuances of community perception and engagement. The data collection techniques, including field observations, in-depth interviews with key community figures and youth, and a literature review, provide a robust framework for gathering rich insights. The abstract effectively highlights the practical strengths of poster media, noting its high visual appeal, ease of understanding across diverse groups, and impressive reach within public spaces. The emphasis on local context in poster design further underscores a thoughtful and community-centered approach to content creation that enhances relevance and impact. While the abstract compellingly outlines the potential and initial positive reception of poster media, a full paper would benefit from elaborating on the specific indicators and qualitative evidence used to determine "effectiveness" beyond general observations of appeal and reach. Detailing concrete instances or narratives of how these posters have begun to shape youth awareness or foster changes in attitudes and behaviors would significantly strengthen the findings. Nevertheless, this study offers a promising communication strategy for religious education, providing valuable insights into how visual media can cultivate critical awareness for peaceful coexistence in diverse settings. It stands as a valuable contribution to the field of community-based peacebuilding initiatives.
