The Jagrik project
ComMutiny — The Youth Collective (CYC) kickstarts an ambitious edition of Samvidhan live! The Jagrik Project — a unique nationwide public initiative to live and experience fundamental rights and duties of our Constitution through an interactive board game. ComMutiny partner organisations across 14 States to execute this interactive initiative to deepen the reflection and action abilities of young citizens. Each of the several hundred participants in this programme will perform weekly tasks based on a fundamental right or duty designed as a game or activity. Participants will also engage in peer level discussions each week. The five-week project is designed to impart practical knowledge of the Constitution and help participants articulate their understanding of the Constitution while performing each weekly activity or task.
Commenting on the initiative Ashraf Patel, convener, CYC said: “The Constitution aptly provides direction to us as a nation. As citizens however, in the rut of everyday life trying to fulfill our dreams of a better life, how far are we able to help the Constitution come aliveIJ Samvidhan lIVE! The Jagrik Project — is designed to create a consonance between the nation’s dreams and the dreams of young people; not only for themselves but also their dream for the nation they want to build and a larger society that is nurtured on the constitutional values.”
The programme format is unique in that, each jagrik (jagruk plus nagrik) will be paired with another Jagrik from a different background but near similar in age. Both will embark on a five-week journey to discover their dreams, values, question their responsibilities and perform several duties as tasks to explore their inside-out youth leadership. The duo will complete challenges that test them emotionally and physically.
