This is an initiative by Rubaroo along with ComMutiny The Youth Collective to explore cross border friendships and engage young people on the issues of social inclusion in order to build vibrant eco-systems across India to understand each other.

India is witnessing a demographic transition. It is home to one of the largest and fastest-growing youth populations in the world. 65% of India’s population is under 35 years in age. Have you ever thought about why intolerance is trending? To dive into the roots of growing intolerance, Rubaroo in association with The Youth Collective, once again invites you all to climb on to Samjho Toh Express.This initiative aims at cultivating cross border friendships through an experiential journey which will help the youth in reflecting and breaking stereotypes that they hold for other communities, gender, castes, religions, ethnic backgrounds etc. A journey through this Campaign will help in internalizing the need to understand the ‘other’!! When: 23rd April, 2016 (Saturday) Platform: Lamakaan is off Road No. 1, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad. It is in the lane next to the Vengala Rao Park, opposite GVK One Mall. Departure Time: 4:00pm to 6:00pm Hope to see ya’ll there!

Organizer
Rubaroo
A youth organization working for the past 2 years in the field of experiential leadership building to inspire social change. We are a group of facilitators skilled in designing and conducting training programs. Based in Hyderabad, Rubaroo aims to build spaces where school and college going young adults are nudged to explore and link their academic learning with realities around them. To make education (and not just schooling) truly democratic, personal and meaningful for any child or adult (as well as for the parents and teachers), surely, both of these need to go hand in hand. It is important to do so because only by breaking down their own ‘stories’, and challenging themselves, that they can unleash within them the leadership to become conscious decision makers.
