About the Project

Love Frankie has partnered with PeaceGen to strengthen students' resilience against violent extremism through the Building Resilience Against Violent Extremism (BRAVE) approach. In this collaboration, PeaceGen acts as the event organizer, managing the research dissemination event attended by participants from various universities and invited guests.

Goal

The goal of this collaboration is to provide a better understanding of student resilience in facing radical ideologies and extremism, using the BRAVE approach that has been adapted for the Indonesian context. Additionally, this program aims to strengthen youth resilience against violent extremism through research and in-depth discussions.

Background of the Collaboration

Love Frankie, as a creative agency sensitive to social challenges, recognized the knowledge gap regarding student resilience in facing extremism in Indonesia. This gap became the background for the collaboration with PeaceGen. Following a mixed-method study to strengthen student resilience against violent extremism, Love Frankie organized research dissemination events in Jakarta and Bandung. The event in Bandung, titled "Bandung Dissemination BRAVE: Pathway to Resilience Against Violent Extremism (VE) at Universities in Indonesia," became a significant moment in the formation of this collaboration.
