This study aims to describe the role of civic literacy in addressing ethnic conflict and cosmopolitan challenges among the younger generation in the era of globalization. The research method used was descriptive quantitative through the distribution of questionnaires to 50 respondents. The results show that students have a good level of civic literacy, indicated by a high level of tolerance, pride in national culture, and the ability to distinguish global cultural influences. These results confirm that civic literacy contributes to strengthening national identity, preventing potential ethnic conflict, and fostering openness that remains grounded in Indonesian values.
