We take a bow
to your journey that we hold dear
We invite you to dance to the tune that others
may not yet hear.
Making our paths, weaving our ways
Come, lets dream together for five days
With time we have to burrow,
As the children of tomorrow.
Living into our intention of engaging with more ecosystems around Youth Alliance, we shall again be co-hosting 2069? The Youth Fest, along with other ecosystems like Blue Ribbon Movement, Pravah, Moved by Love, Shikshantar, LSuC, Swaraj University, Bhoomi College and so on in March 2022.
Given the meta-crisis, our world today is faced with and limits of current paradigms - several youth-led organisations came together to co-create 2069? The Youth Fest in 2019 and 2020. A dream for the future and an experiment to live into that dream. As we moved together, the form is evolving to a more intimate gathering of peer leaders and we invite you to join us at 2069? Gathering of the Tribe from 12th to 17th March in Chinchani, just outside Mumbai.
The core group that has emerged over the years, which comes from several orgs met in October 2021 for the sixth Artivist Ashram wherein we discussed our collective future vision for 2069 and how we would like to take it ahead. The following intentions came up.
- To convene a peer group of 30-40 leaders who we seek to co-travel t ogether through the next decades of social change work
- To come together, reflect as individuals - understand our strengths, personal challenges, and support needed from the community
- To reflect from our organisational lens and discover patterns and learnings.
- To be inducted into the Ecosystem game, understand it, find our role and play it.
If some of these resonate with you, and you are seeking long-term co-travellers - and are willing to be one. We welcome you to this gathering.
The invitation really is to hangout in each others' company, deepen the field of relationships and let emergence do the magic.
The design of the gathering is intended to be structured yet open. With offerings from all of us, lots of time for 1-1s, diverse ways of knowing and learning - the gathering would be rich with varied experiences. The weavers among us shall connect and make explicit to us what would emerge. All of living into a future of naming and claiming the ecosystem space - space the runs through orgs, institutions and systems.
The venue of our gathering is Chichani Jain Ashram, located right next to the beach, has a quiet vibe and lots of open green spaces.
