Rumah Kita

Program Summary

Rumah Kita is a program formed to prevent violent extremism in Poso and Jember. It uses creative media involving parents and local leaders to spread the values of peace to children and young people.

Program Objectives

The Rumah Kita program aims to build local solutions through creative media to prevent violent extremism, strengthen the role of women and local leaders by providing knowledge, skills, and attitudes in responding to violent extremism, encourage parents and local leaders to spread peace values to children and young people and inspire young people to engage in public campaigns actively.

Program Background

This program originated from the Mosintuwu Institute, which found a new way to advocate through cultural approaches by collaborating with cultural figures and artists. Through cultural advocacy, the Mosintuwu Institute discovered the importance of having a solid media team and involving young people in designing, developing, and evaluating movements to have a broader impact. Meanwhile, Tanoker found a new way to approach organizations to organize communities. Tanoker has successfully encouraged young leaders to facilitate learning processes in villages. Tanoker has also found visual characters representing the community in promotional and advocacy media, especially in preventing violent extremism and promoting peace.

Program Details

The Rumah Kita program, with Tanoker in Jember and the Mosintuwu Institute in Poso, designed locally wisdom-based learning media for two years aimed at young people. Rumah Kita's activities began with determining learning points, developing learning media, training facilitators and learning point mentors, and ending with exploration.
