Who Took Part
A total of 84 young people participated across the six camps, drawn from different parts of India and aged 18 to 25.
How the Camps Ran
Each camp lasted between four and six days. Most of the presentations and discussions on national and international issues were conducted by the campers themselves, rather than by outside speakers. Local hosting organisations at each venue invited special representatives to take part.
Choosing Participants
Selection for the camps was based on three questions put to prospective campers: what kind of India they wanted to see, what they themselves were prepared to contribute, and what methodology they proposed for bringing about that change. The camps held special significance for everyone who attended.
