๐Ÿ“š Every child deserves a childhood, an education, and the opportunity to dream.

๐ŸŒ On World Day Against Child Labour, Restless Development, through the My Education, My Right programme, joined hands with VIEWS India to raise awareness on the importance of protecting children's rights and ensuring access to education.

Students from government schools across Sheragada Block took part in wall painting activities at five locations, using art to share powerful messages against child labour and in support of every child's right to learn. ๐ŸŽจ More than 80 participants, including students, teachers, government representatives, community leaders, and youth facilitators, came together to mark the day and strengthen collective action for a future where no child is forced to work instead of learn.

โœจ Together, we reaffirm our commitment to creating a future where every child is in school, empowered to learn, and free to reach their full potential.

At Restless Development, we believe the most powerful solutions to our planet's challenges come from the communities experiencing them, and from the young people leading change within them.

That's why we're proud to announce the 2026 cohort of our Inclusion Youth Fund grantees: 5 incredible youth-led organizations working at the intersection of climate resilience, civic engagement, gender justice, and livelihoods. ๐ŸŒฑ

This year's grantees are:

๐Ÿ”น Centre for Regional Education, Forest and Tourism Development Agency (CREFTDA)
๐Ÿ”น Pipal Tree
๐Ÿ”น Sama Foundation
๐Ÿ”น Women's Organisation for Rural Development (WORD)
๐Ÿ”น Youth for Social Development (YSD)

Each of these organizations is doing the hard, grassroots work of transforming mindsets, addressing inequities, and strengthening communities, from the inside out. We're honored to back them. ๐Ÿ’š

Across Bengaluru, young people and residents are stepping in, from responding to floods in their neighbourhoods to contributing to local climate action plans, showing how local leadership can shape more responsive urban systems.

The Fair Futures Forum is a collective advancing climate action that is fair, inclusive, and grounded in the lived realities of cities like Bengaluru.

The Forum works across communities, practitioners, researchers, and policymakers to test, learn, and scale approaches grounded in lived realities.

The process also opened up new conversations around parks, heat shelters, and ward-level climate planning.

๐Ÿš€ Investing in AI and tech-based skills is no longer a future prediction; it is an immediate requirement for young people navigating today's job market.

Ahead of the Global Partnerships Conference, we conducted multi-country consultations to ask youth about the investments needed to create sustainable opportunities. ๐ŸŒ This clip highlights the urgent demand for future-ready education that bridges the gap between acquiring technical skills and securing industry-standard employment. ๐Ÿ’ผ

We're looking for someone who can:

โœ… Ground learning in lived realities of marginalized youth
โœ… Design participatory, experiential, and non-lecture-based sessions
โœ… Speak to young people, not at them

๐Ÿ“ Remote | ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Deadline: 24th May 2026

What began as a local concern around a polluted open well in D.J. Halli became a collective effort involving residents, youth leaders, city departments, technical partners, and local organisations. The result was restored access to cleaner water for hundreds of households.

The Fair Futures Forum is a collective advancing climate action that is fair, inclusive, and grounded in the lived realities of cities like Bengaluru.

Bringing together lived experience, local leadership, and city systems, the Forum explores what neighbourhood-level climate action can look like in Bengaluru.

On May 4, we hosted a youth consultation on reimagining global partnerships, bringing together young people to share their perspectives ahead of the upcoming Global Partnerships Conference by the UKโ€™s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) ๐ŸŒ

What stood out most was the honesty, clarity, and critical thinking young people brought into the room.

Through real-world scenarios and discussion, they explored key questions:
โœจ Who holds power in partnerships?
๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Who gets heard?
โš–๏ธ Who gets left out?

Some clear messages emerged:
๐Ÿ’ก Partnerships need real power sharing, not token participation
๐Ÿค Funding must reach those closest to the challenges, including youth-led groups
๐Ÿš€ Investments should go beyond service delivery and support future opportunities like AI, digital skills, and pathways for emerging economies

Young people are full of ideas, solutions, and vision. The real challenge is ensuring they are meaningfully included in decision-making spaces.
