GNET-CENS WORKSHOP: ONLINE AGITATORS, EXTREMISTS AND COUNTER-MESSAGING IN INDONESIA

The Workshop discussed current developments regarding the use of social media by violent extremists, potentially subversive Islamists, and agitators on both sides of Indonesia’s increasingly polarised political debate. This led into the presentation of fresh experiments to offer alternative narratives and amplify constructive messaging, particularly among young Indonesian influencers.

Our select list of participants brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the discussion, which proved engaging and seemed likely to produce further conversations and potential collaborations moving forward.
