SAMVAAD
Is an education experiment - to learn from each other, learn with each other and learn from ourselves in the company of each other. The emphasis is on dialogue which includes listening with curiosity, asking questions of clarification and avoiding advise or solutions. The idea was conceived and is facilitated by Sadanand Ward Malliard, an educator and founder of Mount Madonna School, California. Youth Alliance has hosted 2 Samvaads so far in Delhi on the themes “Learning and Leadership” and “Education that Liberates”.
PADH-YATRA
Is a walking journey of 3 days into the wilderness that lets the participants take a break from the rushed city life and learn about themselves while being with nature. So far we have been to Kausani, Palampur and Solan for our journeys.
Satsang
As Youth Alliance completes 10 years of existence, we are celebrating the search for meaning and truth through conversation with our elders. The fortnightly series will walk along the moon cycle, and our themes will be guided by the 5 core values of Youth Alliance.
Satsang for us is to be in the company of a community in
search of our own truths.
In its 2021 cycle, we had Satsangs with six elders and diverse themes. Find more details by clicking the button above.
Kerünyü Ki
House of Listening
As the world becomes smaller through technology, the distances we feel with our close ones are becoming bigger. In Youth Alliance community and around, we are witnessing these shifts in relationships with our parents, especially as youngsters explore unconventional life paths.
Kerunyu Ki - House of Listening is a one day circle where together we will create space for conversations with young people and parents to nourish and nurture relationships. The first one is happening on 10th February, 2018 in Delhi.
ACTION LEARNING SATURDAYS
One Saturday each month, the Youth Alliance community members come together to serve in different ways. The focus is on engaging in group action and learning while doing. So far Action Learning Saturdays have included participating in an artist community mobilization, painting a school's walls, supporting a campaign in an unprivileged community and so on.
ALUMNI WEEKEND
To keep the flare alive and to create space for cross learning and cross pollination, Youth Alliance organizes Alumni Weekends every quarter. Beginning with the year 2016, we have had several such weekends so far that celebrated the spirit of maitri (noble friendship) among alumni, strengthened their personal journey and laid foundations for value-based collaborations. The next annual alumni weekend is upcoming, on 17-19th August 2018 .
Annual Alumni Meet
Youth Alliance came into shape to set out so many young hearts onto the journey of self-transformation, calling of heart, connecting with a cause and every year in the month of August we celebrate these journeys and where we have reached today as a big flourishing family who understands the language of head, heart, and hand.
It also marks the birth anniversary of Youth Alliance.
Open Saturdays
We keep the second half of the Saturdays open for our Alumni to drop in and share their stories over brewing cups of coffee :)
