JAKARTA, KOMPAS – Young Muslims of the millennial generation (those born between 1980 and 1995) are forming a social movement to promote tolerance and peace.

The movement is expected to be accompanied by social empowerment initiatives for young people. Approaches that overly emphasize ideological aspects are ineffective as a solution for the millennial generation. Concrete action with real social impact is necessary.
