Pengelolaan Program PEACE! Project dalam Meningkatkan Perilaku Kerukunan Beragama Pemuda di Organisasi Global Peace Foundation Indonesia

Abstract

Management of a program is very necessary so that the designed program can be implemented well and achieve the expected goals. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method. This research uses the purposive area technique for determining the research area and the snowball sampling technique for determining informants. The data collection techniques are interviews, observations, and documentation. The data validity techniques used include extending observations, increasing perseverance, and triangulating sources, techniques, and time. In analyzing the data, the researcher will collect data, reduce data, present data, and verify. This research involves two key informants, namely GPF Indonesia staff, MM and AM, as well as three supporting informants, namely a volunteer and a religious leader, SH, NP, and ER. GPF Indonesia has several programs, one of which is the PEACE! Project. The researcher conducted this study because many religious conflicts have arisen due to false news or rumors spread through social media and the emergence of incorrect paradigms related to religion. This background led the researcher to formulate the problem regarding how the management of the PEACE! Project program can improve the interfaith harmony behavior of youth. After conducting research and observing the results from the informants related to this study, it was found that the PEACE! Project GPF Indonesia successfully improved interfaith harmony among young people. Through this research, the study results related to the management of the PEACE! Project in enhancing interfaith harmony among the youth are evident from the reactions or feedback of the participants who have attended this activity, providing positive responses, and achieving the goals of this program. In addition, there are recommendations from the GPF Indonesia, which are expected to continue implementing four aspects in managing this program. For the youth, it is hoped that the PEACE! Project program from GPF Indonesia can enhance their interfaith harmony behavior.
