Young people’s contribution to civic action!

We believe the voices, ideas, and actions of young people have been critical in social change and transformation. In the last year, young changemakers of Pravah have run various social action projects that created an on-ground impact within families, communities, and society. Here's a glimpse of the various Sustainable Development Goals, our youth leaders have impacted.

Thematic-focussed engagement

Pravah has developed multiple curriculums and programmes for young people to take leadership on specific issues over the years:

  • Cast(e) in Stone: To address the issue of caste-based discrimination, Pravah designed and implemented the ‘Caste in Stone’ curriculum ( 2012-2016); a journey for college youth to build more inclusive identities, by understanding deep-seated discrimination institutionalised over the years and opportunities to take action on the same through rural internships, exposures and action projects.
  • Youth Engagement for Learning and Leadership (YELL): Pravah designed and implemented YELL to equip youth leaders to lead projects in their communities promoting gender equality, building the agency of adolescents and bridging the learning loss of adolescents from under-resourced communities in Delhi and Telangana due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Engaging with and inspiring stakeholders that impact access to education for an adolescent has been one of the key focus areas to enable a positive learning environment for them across all the spheres of education and therefore, their lives.
  • Youth-leaders for Clean Air: As we live amidst the climate emergency, what is the role that young people play? What are the stories that they care for? We have worked with a cohort of passionate youth leaders who have addressed the issue of air pollution in Delhi and Lucknow through social action projects and stakeholder engagement.
Institution-based adolescent programmes

Pravah works with adolescents to inspire a mindset shift towards being empathetic to ‘self’ and those around them, and build their agency to voice their opinions.

From Me to We: A school-based programme, it helps students develop life skills to understand feelings, build empathy, develop leadership to make their school a safer place, and understand the constitutional values of being active citizens in all aspects of life.

FUN Camps: A 4-day rural exposure camp to inculcate self-awareness, confidence, creativity, empathy, interpersonal communication and conflict resolution, problem-solving, decision-making, working in teams and understanding inclusive and sustainable development through critical thinking.
