ABOUT COMMUTINY - THE YOUTH COLLECTIVE (CYC):

ComMutiny represents the ‘the first mutiny within’ that evolves when, as young people we engage deeply with diverse communities, and through that we change ourselves as much as we change the world.

Set up in 2008, Commutiny – The Youth Collective (CYC) works toward facilitating the engagement of youth in social change action. We do this through building youth leadership in society and creating an understanding, acceptability, and demand for youth spaces across stakeholder groups.

Beyond the four legitimate social ‘spaces’ of family, livelihood/education, friends, and leisure, there is a 5th Space that young people occupy that truly enables young people to develop themselves by engaging in social action. The 5th Space is a safe space that equips young people to understand themselves, address conflicts, build cross-border relationships, clarify their values/stances, and develop leadership skills. Find out more about our work on www.commutiny.in.

At CYC, we have been experimenting with this 5th Space, a space that can make the other four count. The 5th Space is grounded in the belief that youth-hood is a time for identity seeking through experiments in the real world. We architect such 5th space journeys for youth where they can get a deeper understanding of their whole selves by acting for social change and also work to promote acceptability and demand for 5th spaces through media engagement, policy advocacy. Our main programs through which we architect and promote 5th spaces are:

Commutiny Media Network (CMN), is a program that seeks to create a learning space for organisations to debate, discuss and develop a shared understanding on youth development and active citizenship. We use media to get youth voices expressed and heard at different levels by different stakeholders. Through conceptualization, creation and dissemination of a wide range of diverse media products CMN promotes the idea of youth development through a 5th Space lens and bring this concept into the mainstream, building dialogue, conversation and demand for 5th Spaces.

We have designed some of the most innovate and high impact campaigns for young people, including My Space, My Manifesto focusing on youth participation in democrary, MustBol, a campaign against gender based violence, and Bas! Stop Discrimination Right Now, an innovative campaign on wheels, where citizens are invited to board a bus specially designed to promote social inclusion through appropriate messaging.

Our 5th Space films have also gained popularity with young people and many have been featured in film festivals and won awards.

Changelooms With.in - Learning and Leadership Journey is a 1-year leadership support programme that encourages, recognizes, and supports young change leaders working on social change initiatives with a focus on youth development. The programme offers exciting opportunities for intensive personal & organizational development. This year the programme is engaging with 100 change initiatives led by young passionate individuals especially focusing on enhancing social inclusion across castes, tribes, religious groups, gender, disability, and geography. This program is being run in partnership with Pravah and PACS. Pravah’s vision is to build youth leadership for social change and promote active citizenship through its various programs. An intrinsic and very important element of the Changelooms With.in program is amplification of the program and creating visibility for the program and the issue of social inclusion countrywide. Detailed profiles of the 250 change makers we have supported over the years can be found on our website.
