IVLP Impact Award Project: Countering the Spread of Radical Terrorism through Films
A 20-minute film was produced featuring real-life stories of people exposed to religious and violent extremism in Indonesia. The film was screened at six locations and discussions were held to educate communities about preventing the spread of messages that legitimize harmful ideology that supports violent extremism.
IVLP Exchange Experience
Adriany participated in the IVLP Project Empowering Muslim Women as Peacemakers and Agents of Change in 2021, organized by the U.S. Department of State and the American Councils for International Education in partnership with Global Ties Arizona, Global Minnesota, International Center of the Capital Region, Vermont Council on World Affairs, and Gulf Coast Diplomacy.
Her exchange experience led to the development of her IVLP Impact Award Project: "The IVLP had an impact on increasing my self-capacity. It is a space to share experiences and information, both through individual activities and organizational activities. This environment inspires women to become leaders and agents of change and peace, which is very powerful. Because I was able to meet with women across a variety of professions, political, economic, social and cultural life, the IVLP provided an opportunity to expand the network for mutual support and collaboration."
