* Describe the situation (character limit 500)
In 2015, I worked for a local NGO collaborating with the Women Without Borders (WwB). At the time, WwB was running an international campaign called Sisters Against Violent Extremism (SAVE). I was selected to lead one of the branches of the SAVE program, where I was responsible for assembling a group of 10 women from various local NGOs. The goal was to build a CSO's network capable of preventing extremism. This required navigating diverse CSO's interests into a collective action.
* What actions did you take to develop the relationship? (character limit 750)
After gathering with various local NGOs, I organized a 3-day's workshop with Mother School Indonesia with focus on preventing extremism. In this event, I acted as the supervisor, translating various extremism indicators provided by SAVE into accessible, simplified knowledge for local participants. The main challenge was helping participants understand and assess the threat of extremism, particularly within their own households. To address this, I conducted one-on-one discussions with several participants, guiding them in evaluating potential risks in their circle. Through this experience, I believe that what I do to contribute to minimizing the potential for extremism is also part of maintaining the resilience of democracy.
* What was the outcome? (character limit 500)
After an intensive 3-day workshop, 10 trained women were already equipped to serve as educators in combating extremism. Together with my team, I expanded the Mother School program, enabling the trainers to lead sessions across the city. I monitored the program's progress and provided regular updates to Wwb. I also gained insight into maximizing ideas from the community to ensure the program's sustainability. I believe that active CSO's is part of strengthening democracy by acting as watchdogs.
