About Linkara

In the face of increasingly complex challenges, from shrinking civic space and environmental crises to internal organizational pressures, Linkara emerges as a space specifically designed for CSO leaders in Indonesia. Inspired by the circle, a symbol of an unending space where every point is connected, Linkara offers leaders a moment to pause from routine, to see one another, listen deeply, and strengthen each other.

Linkara is more than just a discussion forum. It is a living experiment that opens space for participatory dialogue, deep reflection, and the exploration of new strategies in responding to the urgent social, environmental, and policy issues we face today. Here, every voice is valued, every experience becomes a learning moment, and every gathering is a chance to reimagine leadership practices that are adaptive, inclusive, and innovative.

With a spirit of collective trust, Linkara encourages leaders to move beyond isolation, strengthen their personal and organizational resilience, and build networks of mutual support. From this space grows a community of leaders who are ready to face an uncertain future with courage, clarity, and strong solidarity.

Linkara's Vision

Our vision is to become a collaborative and participatory space for leaders of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to spark critical conversations on whether changes are truly needed in leadership models. This includes reflecting on shared challenges and co-designing leadership models that are more inclusive, adaptive, and meaningful, so that change grows from within, is collectively owned, and expands outward.

Our Mission

In a constantly changing world, leaders of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) face complex challenges. Fatigue, isolation, and the pressure to keep moving often make moments of pause and reflection rare. We believe the power to grow and transform can be found when leaders are given space to connect, share, and co-design their leadership journeys.
That is why we invite you to reflect with us:

What if CSO leaders had a space to share experiences, challenges, and leadership strategies in a reflective and participatory way?

Can we create a dialog space where CSO leaders can revisit the direction and meaning of leadership amid a constantly changing world?

What could happen if leaders across generations, sectors, and backgrounds were connected in the spirit of solidarity through thematic dialogue and immersive gatherings?

What would a safe space look like that allows room for pause and recovery, so leaders can strengthen their personal and organizational resilience?

Can we nurture a living learning community, where every voice is valued, every encounter is an opportunity for growth, and every step reinforces our collective courage?
