| Sumario: | The article focuses on educational experimentation in Indonesia as a site for cultivating "radical hope," a concept rooted in deep relationality and imaginative futures. It examines diverse alternative educational initiatives—from feminist leadership schools to digitally adapted Islamic boarding schools—and youth-led critiques of formal education, highlighting how these efforts collectively negotiate subject formation, social reproduction, and future-making. Through ethnographic perspectives, the article emphasizes education as a practice of care, collaboration, and experimentation that both challenges and complements state-led schooling amid broader social and economic constraints. These educational practices and youth movements together reflect ongoing attempts to imagine and enact more just and meaningful futures despite persistent structural tensions.
