Indonesia, as a multicultural nation comprising thousands of ethnic groups, religions, languages, and traditions, faces complex challenges in maintaining social cohesion amid such diversity. Differences in identity often trigger intolerance and social conflicts that may threaten national peace. This study aims to examine and revitalize local wisdom values as a strategic approach to strengthening education for tolerance and peace in the Indonesian archipelago. The research employs a library research method by analyzing various literatures discussing customary practices, social norms, and artistic expressions that embody educational, cultural, and moral values. The findings reveal that integrating local wisdom into educational practices not only contributes to cultural preservation and the reinforcement of national identity but also effectively fosters tolerant character formation, mutual respect, and the development of a sustainable culture of peace in the era of globalization.
