About VartaLeap Coalition and ComMutiny: 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 organizations 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 people's 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 100+ (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 youthcentric innovations and enable appropriate narrative shifts. To know more, log onto http://www.commutiny.in
