School for Social Transformation (SST) Edition 8 concluded with the Solutions Festival.

Eighteen participants, selected through a multi-stage selection process, presented their plans for community engagement over the next six months.

The projects ranged from climate action and women’s rights to after-school programs, creating inclusive spaces for youth, rights-based advocacy initiatives, and collectives for young writers. The solutions reflected the commitment of aspiring changemakers to bring meaningful change within their communities.

The day also witnessed the inauguration of beekeeping units, followed by a beekeeping workshop, and the opening of the Thrift and Gift Store at Changemakers Ashram.

Over the next six months, participants will translate their ideas into action on the ground.

We sincerely thank Azim Premji Philanthropic Initiatives and the Kerala Institute of Local Administration (KILA) for their continued support throughout the program.

The design thinking process of SST 8 has commenced today.

It is structured as a social hackathon where participants identify a problem in their community and use design thinking tools to arrive at solutions and prepare an action plan for the pilot phase of implementation.

Over the next 48 hours, participants will work day and night with mentors and catalysts to refine their problem statement, do problem mapping, solution mapping, and develop a clear action plan.

The process will conclude at the Solutions Festival, happening on 24th December 2025.

The hackathon also includes engagements such as music jams, story circles, open dialogues, and a campfire, to make the process live, immersive, and engaging.
