About VartaLeap Coalition and ComMunity: The Youth Collective

ComMutiny stands for the first 'mutiny' within a young person that comes from working in communities which are ‘different’ from oneself. We are a collective of more than 100+ youth led and youth engaging organisations and youth development practitioners who work directly with adolescents and young people. To leap beyond the demographic dividend, an enhanced systemic view to youth work and youth leadership is critical to address young peoples’ wellbeing and growth as well as current issues of inequality, conflict and ecological decline. With Ashoka Innovators for the Public, we initiated a series of strategic conversations, which have led to the formation of the VartaLeap Coalition - a cross sectoral grouping of 136+ (and growing) of youth engaging organisations from the development sector, government, media, educational institutions, and UN agencies, who  seek to create a movement towards a new norm – Every Youth A Jagrik and Every Space Nurturing Jagriks. We define Jagrik as a self-awakened citizen not only making change but also being the change. The purpose of the coalition is to design, pilot and scale youth–centric innovations and enable appropriate narrative shifts. To know more, log onto http://www.commutiny.in

Background:

ComMutiny has been working in partnership with youth organisations across the country to build youth leadership for democracy for over a decade. Our designs, communication campaigns and toolkits have been very well received not only among  practitioners but also among development-sector organisations, academics, media groups and policy makers. The campaigns  have been on themes such as gender-based violence, social inclusion, participation in democracy and active citizenship. We have  always used the youth-centric development frameworks and the Indian Constitution as a basis of the design of these initiatives.
