Dear All,

Given the demand and success of the last two batches of ‘Ocean in a Drop’ learning voyage (in January and July 2011), we are seeking nominations for the next iteration, scheduled from 19th– 24^th November, 2011.

The OID learning voyage is a consolidation of Pravah’s learnings on youth development and active citizenship for the past 18 years with individuals and organizations. It seeks to build capacities of facilitators, educators, HR / training professionals and individuals working with youth. It is structured such that 70% of the voyage will be at the voyager’s place of work and 30% will be in learning retreats in workshop settings.

The voyage traverses four core terrains:

 a)     Youth Development b) Instructional Design and Facilitation c) Systems Thinking d) Deep Self Awareness

It is structured such that it can cater to multiple audience needs, wherein people can register for a chosen thematics (1 - 2 days - Rs 3-4k ) or the full voyage plan (9 months – Rs 25K) or the Phase I alone plan  (4 months – Rs 13K)  or only the foundation retreats ( 6 days – 10K).

 Examples of learnings integrated into their real life programs, by voyagers from January batch impacting not only their youth programming, but larger organizational direction:

Bharat from YUVA, Mumbai designed and co-facilitated training on youth development using learning materials from OID with 8 of his partner organizations from rural and urban Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, inspired by his now strengthened belief in capacity building of others, along with him, to ensure growth and development.

Mini from NFI, New Delhi has initiated a dialogue with her full organization on the possibility of mainstreaming youth development into all thematics at NFI including community heath, governance and other portfolios. One clear shift in perspective in not only her, but other team leaders, that she has been able to inspire is, of making real efforts to move youth from beneficiaries of programs to partners in development. The process has strengthened her commitment for youth work.

Mashkoor from NACDOR used the design and facilitation principles at OID to conduct a 3 day training on youth leadership for 25 dalit youth social activists from Bundelkhand, U.P. He shares that he relates with people better and has a renewed focus on design as against action/facilitation.

Reben from IGSSS-Assam is now busy charting learning voyages for its youth volunteers from 4 different communities (Santhal, Rajbongshi, Nepali, Boro) to enable then to blossom into inspiring leaders of the community.

Rama from Commutiny-The Youth Collective feels more equipped in creating learning environments for young change agents demonstrated in the last 3 key events organized by her, enhancing focus on participation, inclusiveness, experiential learning, collective engagements along with fun and celebration. Also one tool (Vyaktitva Self Explorer) introduced at OID has emerged as a great reflection instrument for them that supports evidence based deep self reflection for young people and she has been able to use it successfully with 30 young change leaders from across India in two phases of the leadership program.
