This This research analyzes the contribution of the Strengthening the Profile of Pancasila Students Project (P5) in preventing bullying at elementary schools. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through documentation, observation, and interviews at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri Lombok Barat. The findings highlight that P5 implementation follows comprehensive management processes, including planning, execution, and evaluation. Supporting factors include experienced school resources and principal support, while obstacles include limited comprehensive understanding of the curriculum among teachers. The study found that P5 contributes to reducing bullying behaviors through activities fostering collaboration, creativity, and independence. However, challenges in adapting P5 due to its dynamic framework indicate the need for further training and resource development. This research emphasizes the importance of integrating P5 principles, such as contextual, holistic, and student-centered learning, to enhance character development and social behavior in elementary students, aligning with the objectives of Indonesia’s Merdeka Curriculum.
