Prasodjo has also been noted as a social activist. He has advocated for Indonesians to learn foreign languages despite fears that doing so would be unpatriotic, suggesting instead that Indonesia strives for more development in science and technology so other countries will also learn Indonesian.^[3] He was also responsible for social mapping of Jakarta's child-friendly integrated public spaces, publicly cautioning against former governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama's restriction of local residents from participation in management decisions regarding the spaces.^[4]
