For Yudha Indraswara, a warkop is not just a place for drinking coffee, but also a social space where people can interact freely in open discussions.

The future is in warkop (coffee stalls). It is what Setya Yudha Indraswara believes. For him, a warkop is not just a place for drinking coffee, but also a social space where people can interact freely in open discussions. Now, imagine if this social space grows and blooms. The barriers of separation will come falling down on their own.

Every day, people go in and out of the Warkop Nusantara Network (JWN) "headquarters" in the Nuri Bintaro housing complex in Ciputat, South Tangerang, Banten. On Thursday (3/9/2020), one young person was seen leaving the JWN while eight people arrived.
