In cooperation with the Indonesian Consortium for Religious Studies, the Communion of Churches in Indonesia conducted two rounds of research on young people’s digital activism concerning the discourse of freedom of religion or belief (FoRB). The first round concluded in 2021, and the second round in 2022. The first research activity focused on the perception of generation Z (Gen Z), entitled “The Study of Generation Z Response to FoRB cases in the context of social media.” The research objectives are mapping and understanding the young generation's perspective on FoRB. Furthermore, the research might provide a scientific and empirical basis for the programmatic engagement of young people and the public in education and digital literacy sensitive to social and religious concerns.


The second round focused on the larger youth cohort, i.e., Gen Z and Y (the Millennials), who embraced 18 and 34 years old. The team employed mixed methods, which included social media observation, interviews, focus group discussions, and an experiment with big data analysis. According to the Indonesian Internet Service Providers Association mapping, interviews and FGD were organized in five cities, representing five internet corridors. The City of Padang represents the Sumatra corridor, Jakarta represents Java, Denpasar represents Bali and Nusa Tenggara, Pontianak represents Kalimantan, and Manado represents Sulawesi, Maluku Islands, and Papua. Big data analysis is conducted through social network analysis (SNA), curated by a partnership with Laboratorium 2045 (Lab45). The period of research is between May and August 2022.
