Samvada
Working with young people to create a just, humane & sustainable world!
Samvada was established in 1992 to give young people from all backgrounds an opportunity to critically reflect on their own lives, learn about social justice, gender equity, and sustainability, and be mentored about their life decisions.
YUVA SAMVADA KENDRAS- YOUTH RESOURCE CENTRE
There are now 7 Youth Resource Centres in Bangalore, Gulbarga, Mangalore, Kolar, Chitradurga, Tumkur and Hosapete run either by Samvada or in collaboration with youth focused organisations. In all these centres, through a unique reflexive pedagogy that we have developed, youth are supported, sensitised, empowered and mobilised to become leaders of social change.
Samvada’s youth mentors offer young people a non-judgemental space in the form of youth resource centres or Yuva Samvada Kendras. The centre is an adda for them to drop in and talk, gain exposure to newer perspectives and current affairs, make new friends, share their career dilemmas and learn about new careers & ways of living.
The goal of each centre is also to leave behind a legacy of a generation of youth leaders who deeply care about social and ecological justice. Youth leaders, emerging out of each centre, often join hands with local movements in their geography, bringing fresh perspectives and working towards a just, humane and sustainable world.
BADUKU COMMUNITY COLLEGE
In 2006, Baduku Community College was set up to address the need for meaningful, rewarding and dignified livelihoods for young people from socially excluded communities.

These courses have a two pronged objective: to enable young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to enter and influence existing socially critical professions, and to create new professions that address socio-political needs and ecological crisis of our times. Over the last ten years more than 700 youth have been educated at Baduku.
YOUTH WORK RESOURCE CENTER
Our Youth Work Promotion Centre offers courses on Youth Work for Social Change, builds knowledge on youth work and incubates youth resource centres.
Having been a youth-work and livelihoods-education organization for many years, we felt a great need to focus our energies and resources more and more towards promoting youth work as a profession in the state of Karnataka and beyond. Skilled, committed and sensitive youth workers are urgently required in large numbers to take on the responsibility of working with young people in a way that transforms their lives and orients their worldviews towards social justice.
Youth work has the potential to transform young peoples’ lives individually as well as the potential to transform our social fabric.
RESEARCH ON YOUTH & YOUTHHOOD
Our interactions with young people have continuously brought us face to face with their dilemmas, traumas and questions related to family, work, religion and their questions about their changing context. Responding to them meaningfully demands deeper insights into the changing landscape and an understanding of their fears and doubts. Samvada has initiated a range of research studies to help us come to grips with their realities and dreams.
