The results showed that participatory communication of child communities in preventing child marriage in formal and informal peers showed the collaboration of child communities with diverse cross-communities (heteroglacia). In addition to heteroglacia, Wabinar Activities are open dialogue and sharing experiences and knowledge with peers (dialogue) Movie watching and business class activities are a process to unite some of the differences that exist into an understanding about the impact of child marriage (polypony). Youth Camp and Watch Together activities filled by the children's community are a form of fun participatory communication (carnival).
