On the way of history of humanity civilization, people religious harmony has proven itself as a
sturdy foundation in building world peace. Religious diversity, with all the differences, provides
rich colors on the social and humanitarian fabric. Although Thus, challenges and conflicts are
rooted from difference fixed religious beliefs become threat to global peace.

Harmony between people religious reflect the spirit of tolerance, respect and mutuality
understanding between religious groups. In this context , the world with extraordinary religious
diversity normal , become A unique laboratory where harmony people religious become base for
life peaceful side by side . However, around the world, increasingly many countries have
experienced it challenge in look after this harmony consequence incomprehension, stereotypes, and
extremism.

Harmony people religious No only limited formal harmony, but also includes recognition and
respect to difference confidence. This diversity is seen not as a source of conflict, but rather as a
source of power and wealth that can be strengthened publicly. Through harmony, every individual is

harmony as a strategy to respond and prevent conflicts of that sort.

Local and international initiatives that prioritize interfaith dialogue, understanding and work the
same between religious people become important steps for knitting harmony. In facing the various
global dynamics, we must together build bridges to overcome differences and ensure that religious
diversity is becoming strength unification, no trigger conflict.

Indonesia, as a country with extraordinary religious diversity, has great potential to be a model of
interfaith religious harmony. However, in a number of decades recently, social dynamics and
technological progress bring new challenges in maintaining and strengthening religious diversity as
a positive asset. This challenge appears in the form of misunderstanding and conflict interfaith
religious can hinder the development process national.

In line with that, the AyoDolanan program was initiated as a response to changing times requiring a
creative and inclusive approach to support deep understanding about religious diversity. This
diversity does not only involve differences in belief, but also constitutes a rich expression of
cultures and values that cross Indonesian society.

Traditional games, as part not inseparable from the identity of Indonesian culture, were selected as
the main medium in this program. this decision was based on the recognition that nature approach _
participatory and fun through games can open the door of understanding and appreciation to
religious diversity.

Through the A yoDolanan program, this effort is directed to overcome global challenges, such as
incomprehension of intercultural and religious conflicts, often become the root of more conflicts at
the international level. By utilizing the strength of traditional Indonesian games, it is expected that
this program can become a concrete step going to world peace by building bridge understanding
and tolerance between diverse religious communities.
