Combatting intolerance, Jessica’s initiative encourages interaction and inclusion among diverse groups of students.
When Jessica was a young girl, she remembers everyone in her school playing together. However, she noticed these interactions changing over the years as external social prejudices and adults’ intolerance of “others” was infiltrating the classroom. The racial, economic, and religious intolerance Jessica experienced in primary school coupled with the bombing incident in her city of Surabaya, triggered her to start the “Be One in Diversity” initiative. Jessica breaks barriers with children from different backgrounds through casual and fun activities instead of serious interfaith discussions. The activities range from entrepreneurship, social movement, ecology, and community engagement to ignite young people’s ability to collaborate and achieve a common goal together. By promoting values of diversity and tolerance, Jessica and her team are shifting how young people interact with one another for a more resilient and equitable Indonesia.
