Jharkhand - Community Of Practice for Adolescents
Mitigating Backlash - A Community Of Practice Initiative
24 September | 9:30 am to 1:30 pm | Ranchi, Jharkhand
The Community Of Practice convening aims to build and amplify the collective voice from the ground up and drive collaborative action to ensure that adolescents are educated, healthy and empowered to make positive life choices.
Join us as we present our research findings on the manifestations of backlash against adolescents and youth-serving organizations in India, as well as the strategies deployed by non-profits in addressing this backlash. Our aim is to spark conversations around how we can mainstream the issue of backlash, and ultimately bring funders, governments and non-profits together to acknowledge and address it.
