1. Background
Yayasan Humanis dan Inovasi Sosial (an affiliated organization of Hivos) is an organization who supports the development of alternative solutions to deep seated problems so that individuals and communities can make responsible and equitable choices within political and economic systems that serve their needs. In 2020-2023, the organization implements a project called CREATE (Creative Youth for Tolerance) that aims to improve pluralism and tolerance in secondary education institutions (high schools) in West Java, East Java, and South Sulawesi funded by USAID Indonesia. The program adopts an innovative art and cultural based approach to strengthen tolerance among students, and enhance the role of parents, teachers, and art facilitators to support tolerance practice in school. As of April 2021, the Program has formed collaboration with 26 public high schools and Madrasah Aliyah in West Java, East Java, and South Sulawesi.
To work toward achieving this objective, CREATE will not only strengthen tolerance and pluralism among students, but will also enhance the role of other school community members, including parents, in supporting tolerance practices, as stated in the project’s IR 2, “Enhanced role of parents and school committees in supporting tolerance practices.” CREATE strengthens the awareness of parents and school committees of tolerance issues and platforms to channel their concerns about intolerant practices to officials with responsibility for oversight at the school, provincial and national levels. This component also strengthens codes of conduct in schools and enhances character building of students as mandated by National Education System Law No. 20 of 2003, Presidential Regulation No. 87 of 2017 on Strengthening Character Education, and Ministry of Education and Culture Regulations No. 39 of 2008 on Student Development and No. 23 of 2015 on Developing Ethics.
In Year 2 parents will receive a series of capacity building activities to gain knowledge and skills of tolerance and pluralism issues and design action plans to utilize this knowledge and skills to support tolerance practices at schools. Previously CREATE has developed a module for parent training that focuses on accompanying teenagers and developing their knowledge on diversity and developing tolerance values through cooperation between families and school. CREATE Consortium now seeks (a team of) consultant(s) to enrich this module and place further emphasis on increasing parents’ involvement and expanding parents’ roles in monitoring and improving tolerance and pluralism at schools.
