Meaningful Youth Engagement @ A Game of Choice, Not Chance™
We partner with young people effectively and meaningfully as leaders, recognizing their collective agency and the power it has to enable more impactful and
sustainable long-term change. Through Go Nisha Go, we are running online and offline campaigns with and for young people to create and enable the power of
choices through the life of Nisha across Delhi, Bihar and Rajasthan.
Our Approach
Restless Development supports, enables and connects youth leadership initiatives to ensure that change happens where it’s needed most and happens at scale - working with the biggest youth generation in history. We are global experts in youth-led change, and over 30 years we have developed a unique approach to meaningful youth engagement. In addition to our own programs which support young people to lead development, Restless Development also works to improve meaningful youth engagement across the development sector and beyond. In alignment with our vision, Restless Development has been onboarded as a partner to implement the meaningful youth engagement component of the game Go Nisha Go - A Game of Choice, Not Chance.
​
Restless Development is using a phased approach for the implementation of Go Nisha Go - A Game of Choice, Not Chance. The approach is designed to keep the central focus on meaningful engagement of young people by supporting them to be leaders, collaborators and beneficiaries of the project during its different phases. We aim to engage 15 young leaders to lead the meaningful youth engagement in Game of Choice, Not chance. The engagement will use the following components.
FIND: Identify and engage young people, in all their diversity, as participants and in the launch of the game.
EQUIP: Provide training to build youth with knowledge, skills, and capabilities
ENABLE: Foster supportive environments that allow young people to exercise their agency and become genuine contributors to the project
CONNECT: Create both pipelines and pathways for young participants to enter the Game of Choice design cycle, as well as engage in repeated cycles in order to age “up” rather than age “out” of the field;
TRACK: Develop and implement monitoring and evaluation strategies that document the results of youth participation at different levels.
The implementation plan in itself accounts for both online and offline activities with a campaign plan at its core. We intend to engage with 300 Youth directly in 3 states of Bihar, Delhi and Rajasthan and further reach out to around 10,000 young people through indirect reach. The project is driven and led by staff who have rich experience of Meaningful Youth Engagement and have been recognized globally for their contributions.
