Consultancy: Facilitator for Women and Girls Peace Leadership Camp

The Leadership Camp curriculum will be based on an existing module for the “Influencer #ForChange Academy” that will be adapted to fit the objectives of the camp.
Search Indonesia
Search for Common Ground (Search) is an international peacebuilding organization that promotes the peaceful transformation of violent conflicts. Search has a mission to transform how individuals, organizations, and governments deal with conflict - away from adversarial approaches and toward cooperative solutions. Search seeks to help conflicting parties understand their differences and act on their commonalities. Search implements projects from 56 offices in 35 countries, including in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and the United States.
Search has been working in Indonesia since 2002 and is implementing programs in conflict transformation, peacebuilding, prison reform, conflict-sensitive journalism, electoral participation, and initiatives with youth, media, government agencies, informal religious leaders and women’s groups across the country.
Background
Youth in Indonesia are exposed to violent messaging and violent extremist material via online platforms and social media as part of recruitment efforts to draw them to join violent extremist organizations. There has been a struggle to find effective strategies to counter this messaging and prevent vulnerable groups from engaging in violent extremist activity. Efforts are needed to strengthen the utilization of social media campaigns to reduce youth susceptibility to violent extremist ideologies and to support communities in efforts to build resilience to these ideologies at the grassroots level.
To respond to this challenge, Search for Common Ground Indonesia, in collaboration Management Systems International (MSI) and Love Frankie, has been implementing Harmoni, which seeks to increase the resilience of Indonesian society to intolerance and violent extremism (VE) by supporting communities, migrants and key institutions to increase their awareness of related risks and to develop more effective tools and systems to bolster tolerance and counter the appeal of VE organizations (VEOs), reintegrate former VEO members and supporters, and support migrants.. As a part of the collaboration, Search seeks to implement CVE activities which emphasize on promoting peaceful messages through youth empowerment and resiliency building toward CVE, journalism training and use of media, training for DGC officers, and CSO network building for CVE efforts.
As a part of those efforts, and as a response to growing intolerance and unchallenged hate speech online in recent years, Search will support the continuation of our already trained youth influencers from our previous project to become more focused on PVE messaging. This will furthermore support the PREVENT Consortium’s global theory of change, which holds that if influential and credible actors have the skills and capacity to develop evidence-based messaging campaigns that promote peaceful narratives and these messages and campaigns are linked with effective online and offline interventions then support for violent extremist groups will decrease because potential supporters of violent extremist groups will be better-informed of more attractive options and key actors will be more able to intervene.
Search – Indonesia, with the support of a team of external facilitators will implement a 3-day Peace Leadership Camp that will empower young women and girls to become agents of change and facilitators for positive learning in their communities. At the end of the Leadership Camp, participants are expected to group up based on region and interest and develop their own action plan to carry out training activities that will encourage youth to become messengers of peace.
