Change begins now - Actizen Contest

Several leaders and organizations are making an effort to bring a change in society and trying to develop innovative ways to do. What they lack behind is awareness! Awareness brings consciousness.

Desh Apnaye, a non-governmental organization is willing to bring the change by introducing a civic education contest named ACTIZEN  to make young minds an active citizen, which beliefs in strengthening the three pillars which citizenship education, volunteering, and community action. This is not just an inter-school contest but an opportunity to architect the country’s future by giving a helping hand to accelerate the thinking process of young minds. This quiz aims at bringing awareness among not only in adults but among school children ranging from grades seven to nine. The quiz is planned in stages and the winner will be facilitated with trophies and certificates as well as a chance to feature in a short film made in collaboration with the team behind the film ‘Dangal’. Support of teachers will not go in vain, they will be appreciated with YOUNG ACTIZEN ‘MENTOR’ AWARDS. Actizen believes in inculcating democratic values in students outside the classroom. It’s a platform for teachers, principals and parents to join hands and work together.

Actizen aims to unite the heart, hands, and head to bring revolutionary outcomes. It exposes children to real -life situations to bring better out of them and promote active participation as it does not require preparation. It gives children space to work in their comfort zone by choosing the theme by themselves. The contest is fully online which allows children complete choice to perform from home or what school decides, except the community service portion. Through the contest, students will be to use their civics lessons and get to know developments in the country. Through the contest, students will be able to be a part of healthy competition as well and develop a feeling of ‘can do it’.

This is the ultimate opportunity to make young minds indulge in a new way of learning and let them experience the concept of democracy, so let us make young minds an active and informed citizen.
