Youth
Issues

 

Since 2000, we have been experimenting with models for Youth in Social Action. Over the years, we have tried to refine the programmes to be more inclusive and sustainable. This has also led to design of new learning tools.

Here is an overview...

Ignited Minds

(2001 - 2007)

 

The Ignited Minds Project was a TF initiative for research and innovation in partnership with youth. The project aimed to create resources and programmes to empower young people to take initiatives towards positive social change. This has been replaced by the Youth Resource Cells Project since 2007.

Young people are a resource. Their positive energy can be guided to contribute towards social needs. Youth Awards for Social Initiatives (YASI) has been conceived to motivate young people, and empower them to engage with issues that concern them and their communities.

YASI is planned as a periodic competitive event, open to youth networks including college students, NSS volunteers, and NYK member organisations. The Awards are a part of a larger capacity building strategy planned around providing special training on a variety of social issues, and enabling youth groups to evolve into community development hubs.
