Inspiring action and raising awareness, the Changemaker Series, aims to bring together ‘changemakers’ - political leaders, media, public figures, experts and child champions in a conversation with the youth of the country. The idea is to initiate dialogue on how they can contribute in amplifying the issue of children and their rights especially for children in street situations; #TheInvisibles.
India will be the youngest country in the world with an average age of 29 years by 2022. Despite this reality, children’s issues are not on top of the political agenda or public mind. The youth are not only powerful in number but also in ambition. In order to bring long term change, young people need to be engaged, involved and integrated in any discussion or policy decision. Insights from our past efforts, that ‘millennials’ are keen on social action and impact, led to SC India designing the Changemaker Series to take the issues to where the youth are.
The Changemaker Series is rooted in the belief that the youth of today must stand with and speak up for the youth of tomorrow - children.
