Search for Common Ground Indonesia, Indika Foundation, Campaign, SeJuK, and the Solopos Institute implemented the “CREDIBLE” project under the Asia Religious & Ethnic Freedom award, funded by USAID. The goal of CREDIBLE (Supporting Youth and Credible Actor’s Initiative to Promote Religious Freedom) was to strengthen media editors’ and young social media influencers’ abilities to identify and combat hate speech, support religious freedom and human rights, and foster constructive dialogue. Additionally, the project tested out joint initiatives with young influencers to counter hate speech and disinformation driven by religion while promoting religious tolerance and human rights.
Activities under this project included:
- A National Level Workshop on FoRB with Media Editors, in addition to 3 local level workshops with media editors
- 19 young content creators were trained in promoting freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) in an engaging and youthful manner.

- View four of their success stories here.
-
- A Regional Learning Platform event featuring plenary and breakout sessions on the topics of blending non-FoRB and FoRB issues, risk mitigation when presenting FoRB issues, and creativity and innovation in presenting FoRB issues.
- A training, “Creator Space: This Youth Can,” aimed at equipping content creators interested in getting involved in promoting tolerance and FoRB.
These activities were made possible by the support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The contents are the sole responsibility of Search for Common Ground and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government.
