Abstract
Taman Bacaan Masyarakat (TBM) has emerged as a prominent part of grassroots literacy initiatives. One of the strategies to promote literacy is through various programs, including the YouTube channels, such as Forum TBM. Following the series of online storytelling (Muhibah Dongeng), Forum TBM organized the Ngabuburit Bersama program during Ramadan 2023. The program comprised an online storytelling session of folktales from different places in Indonesia. Hence, this paper applies the virtual ethnographic methodology to examine the promotion of religious literacy and diversity. The dataset consisted of 30 videos from Ngabuburit Bersama playlist on the Forum TBM YouTube channel. The data was collected and selected based on the thematic framework of diversity. The findings indicate that despite being conducted in the atmosphere of Muslim religious holiday, the Ngabuburit Bersama implied the values of unity, tolerance, and cultural diversity. Therefore, TBM can be a potential place and space for religious literacy and diversity promotion.
