EngageMedia is a Southeast Asian human rights and environmental non-profit organisation working at the intersection of film, technology and social change. EngageMedia partners with journalists, technologists, media-makers, communities and campaigners to amplify their social impact. They envision an environmentally sustainable and socially just world where marginalised communities participate freely in the creation and distribution of media, and have their voices heard.

EngageMedia is the Linking and Learning Facilitator for Voice in Indonesia. Voice Linking and Learning refer to the total of activities, processes and trajectories realised to boost collaboration, connectedness, sharing, listening, learning, innovation and innovation of new knowledge among grantees. It aims to produce evidence, learnings and innovative solutions to catalyse transformative change to promote diversity and inclusion. EngageMedia works in straight collaboration and coordination with Voice Indonesia as well as the Voice global coordination team. In this second Phase, EngageMedia’s mandate is strengthening social movements by fostering and mobilising networks of activists.

Such networks and field-building is especially critical given the increasing complexity of the challenges faced and the availability of new technologies that allow us to break down traditional silos between organisations and across social sectors. Facilitating the Linking and Learning community allows EngageMedia to be at the heart of this new wave of collaboration and to support experimental partnerships that reach across sector, field, issue, and constituency. It has also encouraged Engage Media to approach it’s mission with a more intersectional lens, seeing the connections between different social movements and sharing skills and knowledge to mutually strengthen each another’s work.
