Mobilizing young leaders
The project brings together youth interfaith communities to overcome difference and trains and empowers them to advocate for positive change through workshops and trustbuilding camps.
Indonesia
Indonesia is facing increased intolerance and divides among people of different religions and ethnicities, with the threat of violent extremism. The aim of our trustbuilding work in Indonesia is to inspire mutual trust and understanding to increase social cohesion and avoid radicalization.
Why is trust needed?
Indonesia has been struggling with religious extremism. An extreme form of intolerance has been seen through recent terrorist attacks. Incidents have occurred carried out by sympathizers of ISIL and around 700 Indonesians have joined ISIL in Syria, some of whom have returned to Indonesia.
Despite these threats, Indonesian democracy has made impressive progress, which needs to be maintained in their national election in 2024. This makes it a strategically relevant moment to put extra energy into working with young people to be able to live in peace and harmony.
How is trust built?
Developing tools for trustbuilding
Integrating trustbuilding principles and using custom designed trustbuilding tools, such as board games, to resolve conflict, reconcile and build cohesive interreligious and intercultural communities.
