This study examines the crucial role of tolerance in shaping social interactions as an effort to establish peace within Indonesia’s multicultural society, characterized by cultural, religious, and ethnic diversity. Such diversity represents a valuable social asset; however, if it is not managed with mutual respect, it may lead to conflicts and divisions among community members. In this context, tolerance serves as a key mechanism for maintaining social harmony, strengthening cohesion among citizens, and fostering an inclusive environment that genuinely respects differences. The research method employed is library research, compiling various sources including literature, books, journals, and previous scientific studies that are relevant and support a deeper understanding. This approach allows the researcher to gain comprehensive insights into the concept of tolerance, its forms of implementation, and its impacts on social interaction and societal stability. Data analysis is conducted qualitatively by examining patterns of social relationships formed through tolerant attitudes, including how individuals and groups can cooperate effectively despite having different backgrounds. The findings indicate that tolerance significantly contributes to mitigating potential conflicts, enhancing cooperation among individuals and groups, fostering mutual respect, and strengthening social solidarity. Moreover, tolerance helps in shaping an inclusive national identity, where differences are viewed as collective assets rather than sources of division. Therefore, tolerance is not only a moral value but also a strategic foundation for building a harmonious, peaceful, and sustainable society. Its implementation can be reinforced through character education, intergroup dialogue, positive social interactions, and public policies that promote inclusivity and equality. Thus, tolerance becomes a primary instrument in realizing a safe, harmonious social life that respects and appreciates diversity throughout Indonesia.
