SEAN-CSO
SEAN-CSO has partnered with PeaceGeneration Indonesia to combat the narrative of violent extremism through creative media packaging based on research and community engagement. In this program, PeaceGen assists in maintaining online communication channels by producing bulletins and content and uploading them on social media platforms, as well as regularly updating the website.
Why SEAN-CSO Collaborates with PeaceGeneration Indonesia?
SEAN-CSO, as a platform for dialogue bridging researchers, communities, and activists in the Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (P/CVE) field, SEAN-CSO observes an increase in cases of violent extremism in Southeast Asia and Australia.
The issue of violence-based extremism is also felt in the education sector, marked by a significant gap between theoretical understanding and the practice of empathy education. This condition indicates that empathy education only exists on paper.
Ms. Kamila, a lecturer and researcher at the Mathali'ul Falah Islamic Institute, revealed that she and many educators in Indonesia, Southeast Asia, and Australia feel this dire condition.
Ms. Kamila's awareness of the need for active contributions from various stakeholders, such as researchers, communities, and P/CVE activists, to eradicate violent extremism laid the groundwork for the collaboration between SEAN-CSO and PeaceGeneration Indonesia.
What is the Impact of the Collaboration between SEAN-CSO and PeaceGeneration Indonesia?
SEAN-CSO, in collaboration with PeaceGeneration Indonesia, has produced sustainable bulletins, social media content, and a website that is regularly updated.
PeaceGen has assisted SEAN-CSO in reaching out to and contacting network members regularly to publish or showcase the work of SEAN-CSO members through social media, bulletins, and the SEANS-CSO website.
SEAN-CSO currently has 126 member organizations, of which 52 are actively involved in content production. The SEAN-CSO website has been accessed by 17 countries worldwide, namely Indonesia, the United States, Australia, Malaysia, the Philippines, India, China, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, Thailand, Brazil, Japan, Bangladesh, and Vietnam.
