This article would like to explain the Cultural Responsive Teaching (CRT) approach in the learning of Islamic religion as an alternative effort to overcome the increase in xenophobia and racism action in the midst of the Covid-19. The method of extracting data is based on a literature review sourced from books, journals, mass media, and various expressions of racism and xenophobia that emerge on the homepage of Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp groups, and other social media accounts. This paper will explain several important things, including CRT as an approach to see the diversity of cultures, ethnicities, religions, and groups; the meeting point of the CRT approach to the implementation of Islamic religious learning, and the elaboration between the two in voicing the importance of avoiding narratives based on racism and xenophobia.

The literature analyzing perspectives on Indonesia's golden years in the 2045 narrative is extensive and optimistic. But achieving 2045 is more challenging amid disruption conditions, especially after a multidimensional crisis because of COVID-19. Cite Sukarno's term about the years of Vivere Pericoloso, an Italian phrase that means life is full of danger, making our future toward 2045 uncertain. But the years of Vivere Pericoloso are also the right moment to perfectly achieve the ideals, principles, goals, efforts, and logic of the Indonesia 2045 vision. Culture and politics are two important components that can make our turning point toward 2045 come true. Our findings are political ideology based on expansive penetration with internalization and consistency using indoctrination method toward "Pancasila" itself via youth’s empowerment with the principle of fair and open involvement in the political sphere, and strengthening political literacy plays a critical role in dealing with tech populism and non-integrity that created de-stabilization and incompetence. Cultural knowledge that is based on a sense of belonging with an intercultural bond strategy is also important. In practice, cultural knowledge encourages us to act with positive impacts on multicultural society amidst the post-truth era through: (1) awareness of cultural worldview, (2) good attitude toward cultural differences, (3) knowledge of different cultural practices and worldviews, including having the skill of cultural sensitivity awareness, and (4) cross-cultural skills communication.

Through activism, community organization, and engagement in social movements, youth worldwide are becoming active actors, demonstrating their ability to influence society in times of crisis. In the context of Indonesian youth, especially those who are part of the diaspora community, attachment to fellow children of the nation is evidenced by social activism, as was the case in Malaysia during the movement control order between 2021 and 2022 through the representative body of the Indonesian Youth National Committee (BP-KNPI). Since its establishment on October 9, 2011, the Indonesian Youth National Committee (BP-KNPI), the representative body for Indonesian youth in Malaysia, has been proactive in playing its role as a second-track diplomatic force, advocating for youth and employment issues, and engaging in social activism to help Indonesian communities in Malaysia. During the pandemic period between March 2020 and December 2021, with the movement control order policy, the representative body of the Indonesian Youth National Committee (BP-KNPI) plays a role in social activism in three domains: (1) the field of employment by supporting the labour recalibration program, which repatriates illegal Indonesian workers in Malaysia (2). in the humanitarian realm by organising assistance from both internal and external parties, such as the Indonesian embassy in Kuala Lumpur; and (3). conducting second-track diplomacy to strengthen relations with the Malaysian Young Council and elements of the Malaysian government. In cyberspace, BP-KNPI Malaysia is also very active in raising solidarity and providing information related to recalibration programmes and social assistance through its members' potential as content creators and relationships with well-known media. Our research concludes that BP-KNPI Malaysia, as a youth civil society, has always been proactive in problem-solving during the pandemic through social activism in humanity, migrant workers from Indonesia, and legal literacy in cyberspace. BP-KNPI Malaysia also tactically implements the spirit of energy and harmony promoted by DPP-KNPI.
