Abstract

The number of conflicts with religious backgrounds in Indonesia prompted me to conduct research on inter-religious relations. Wonosobo was chosen as the research location because of its popularity as a harmonious area even though there are various religions and religious groups that live side by side. In addition, the role of young activists from Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in preserving and maintaining inter-religious harmony in Wonosobo district is also the focus of this research because youth is an important actor in this preservation. Referring to the main problem, the purpose of this dissertation is to explore, examine and understand the picture of inter-religious harmony in Wonosobo, the role of young NU activists, and how this harmony is being maintained and preserved. To aswer the above issues, this dissertation uses descriptivequalitative method with a case study. To analyze the data in this study, I use a descriptive analysis method which aims to provide an overview of inter-religious harmony in Wonosobo. I use Johan Galtung's peacebuilding theory, J.B Banawiratma's seven levels of dialogue concept, and youth studies perspective for data analysis. Based on the analysis of the field data, the results of this dissertation can be formulated as follows: First, the picture of interreligious harmony in Wonosobo Regency is indicated by the lack of inter-religious conflicts, the number of joint activities carried out by religious people of different religious background, and strong collaboration between religious leaders. Second, this study finds that young NU activists play the role as conceptor, motivator, implementer and counselor in maintaining inter-religious harmony and tolerance in Wonosobo. Third, this study finds that the best practices of young NU activists in maintaining and preserving interreligious harmony in Wonosobo are due to NU's position as the majority and the support system from various parties, namely the state or government, religious leaders, youth, and society. This harmony occurs because it is desired by all parties and because it is co-created. In addition to the above, this study finds that there are intergenerational differences between young and old people in carrying out activism related to maintaining inter-religious harmony. With their active characteristics which is relatively fluid, young NU activists have a better communication and social skills that lead them to have a broader network in inter-religious relation so that the mission of maintaining inter-religious harmony can be more widely spread.
