The family project programme was developed in response to the Indonesian government’s programme on the mainstreaming of religious moderation. Although this programme has been running and many studies have been conducted on its success, there is not much research that attempts to examine how family closeness and relational conflicts can affect tolerance actions, as well as exploring the implementation of family projects. The purpose of this research emphasises how students’ experiences in family projects can shape perceptions and tolerant practices with peers. This research uses a mixed-methods approach involving a survey method with 275 students, focussing on first-year students, with the aim of obtaining significant and comprehensive insights. The results of this study indicate that family emotional relationships significantly contribute to tolerance actions, but tolerance actions can be influenced by external factors, such as social interactions. Exploratory research with a qualitative approach provides more detailed information, where students prefer to listen to others’ views rather than share their own beliefs. Highlighting this finding, students perceive the family programme as a safe and comfortable space for them to share their beliefs, especially if the programme needs to be conducted over a long period and with a high frequency of social interaction. © 2025 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
