Meanwhile, the Director of Islamic Religious Information, Ahmad Zayadi, explained that the theme of the retreat reflects a collective effort to reflect on, formulate, and strengthen the practice of religious moderation values that have been implemented in more than 1,000 Religious Moderation Villages (KMB) across Indonesia.

"This retreat is not only a platform for capacity building but also a moment to foster a stronger collective awareness. All participants are expected to become advocates and agents of religious moderation, systematically disseminating the reflections and incubated values of moderation to their respective regions. The process of this transmission, God willing, will continue sustainably to build a harmonious and inclusive society," Zayadi stated during the event’s opening ceremony.

Additionally, the Director General of Community Guidance, Kamaruddin Amin, emphasized the vital role of religious instructors as the frontline in maintaining social harmony within society.

“Religious instructors are a fundamental entity for the Indonesian nation. They are the pioneers of social stability, especially when facing threats from transnational ideologies or parties seeking to undermine national values,” he remarked.

Amin also highlighted the crucial role of religious instructors in addressing global issues such as climate change.

“Religious instructors can become spearheads in mitigating the impacts of climate change. They are not only tasked with discussing religion but also taking tangible actions to create a green, healthy, and harmonious environment,” he concluded.
