Wawan Gunawan

Indonesia\'s pluralistic garden will not be beautiful without harmony. In order to protect it, Wawan Gunawan, 40, has been diligently building inter-religious dialogue for two decades. Together with his colleagues, he has moved to sow the seeds of diversity for a tolerant generation.

The dialogue is built through cooperation among religious and cultural communities. It starts with getting to know each other, discussing and understanding each other. "There is no inter-religious dialogue without dialogue among friends. If they are friendly, they will not be offended to ask about religious relations,” said Wawan in Bandung, West Java, Monday (7/9/2020).
