Abstract

Religious and national organizations triggered radicalism in Indonesia, which was triggered by ideological, political, and military factors. The research was conducted to investigate the roots of radicalism and methods to overcome it, especially through applying educational approaches aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Analysis of bibliometric data from the Scopus database from 2013 to 2023 was used to identify research trends and key themes. The study’s findings integrate education, community engagement, media literacy, and political reform to foster a tolerant and inclusive society. Important topics include methods of youth engagement in educational strategies, faith-based and communitybased, the power of religious movements, media effects, and political dynamics. The study results show that educational strategies that support the SDGs can help prevent radicalism by promoting peace, equality, and sustainability. By implementing this strategy, the young generation with global awareness and responsibility is expected to emerge, contributing to creating a peaceful and inclusive society in Indonesia.
