To examine how arts-based initiatives develop youth capabilities and sustain young voices within community-level intergenerational dialogue.
Qualitative evaluation conducted across two arts-based community projects in Indonesia.
Conducted focus groups and interviews with 114 youth and 12 adults.
Thematic analysis grounded in Lundy's child rights framework and Sen's Capabilities Approach.
Identified three primary operational themes: child- and youth-focused creative spaces, the transition from artist to activist, and supported intergenerational dialogue.
Demonstrated that arts-based interventions foster intergroup capabilities and functionings, shifting youth participation from passive expression to meaningful, sustained civic engagement with adults.
