Konsolidasi Nasional Bhinneka Tunggal Ika II adalah sebuah ruang untuk konsolidasi bagi masyarakat jaringan kerja Aliansi Nasional Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (ANBTI) se-Indonesia yang diselenggarakan oleh ANBTI bekerjasama dengan Perkumpulan Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (PBTI) di Jakarta, 25- 31 Oktober 2010.
Konsolidasi Nasional Bhinneka Tunggal Ika II terdiri dari 2 bentuk kegiatan yaitu konsolidasi itu sendiri sebagai kegiatan inti dan kegiatan penunjang dalam bentuk beberapa lomba, pameran, panggung dan pawai budaya dengan tema "Indonesia Penuh Warna".
Hal ini sungguh dirasakan penting sebagai sarana publik untuk lebih memahami bahwa Indonesia adalah negara yang memiliki kekayaan budaya paling beragam di dunia. Keberagaman Indonesia ini dipertegas dengan prinsip Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, yang berarti berbeda-beda tetapi satu.
Namun pengalaman hidup bersama dalam upaya penerapan prinsip Bhinneka Tunggal Ika sebagai salah satu bangunan dasar berbangsa dan bernegara ternyata penuh tantangan. Salah satunya ketika berbagai ide penyeragaman mulai mempengaruhi dalam relasi anak bangsa, maka Bhinneka Tunggal Ika masih sekadar slogan formal, belum optimal menjadi ruh bangsa dan pemerintah Indonesia.
Tantangan ini semakin besar dalam arus globalisasi saat ini, yang hadir dengan wajah ganda. Di satu sisi globalisasi dapat menghubungkan dengan cepat orang-orang dari seluruh penjuru dunia dalam satu pergaulan yang disebut “komunitas global” (Global Community), di sisi lain, globalisasi justru mulai mempertajam identitas masing-masing manusia dengan ciri khas etnik, agama, ideology dan gaya hidup dalam kebersamaan global yang justru mengedepankan persaingan pasar dan modal.
Untuk itu, rangkaian kegiatan ini penting sekali diselenggarakan untuk membuat konsolidasi masyarakat sipil se-Indonesia yang berasal dari lintas daerah, iman, profesi dan sektor untuk mempertahankan Indonesia sebagai negara Bhinneka Tunggal Ika serta upaya untuk mewujudkan kehidupan bernegara dan berbangsa yang sesuai dengan Konstitusi, Pancasila dan Bhinneka Tunggal Ika.
