* In October the Youth Venture staff did one to one and group meetings with the venturers, helping them think through their challenges and connecting them with resources insides and outside the Ashoka network.
* In November we organized a one day workshop on Planning for their venture, helping them to refine their venture plans keeping in mind the learning’s from the last 2 months after panel and their goals for the next 8 – 10 months. The workshop was facilitated by our venturers from last year, who had gone through training sessions done by experts in the field, who built their capacity to train the current batch of venturers.
* In December, we had a very successful trip to a conference on Social Entrepreneurship in Chennai organized by Unltd India. A report on the trip is attached.
* In December, we also organized a one to one session for our venturers who are working on the issue of education with an Ashoka fellow named Rajeev Vartak, who is using innovative tools and methods to teach science and maths to children. Besides getting an opportunity to hear the challenges and successes from Rajeev, in the initial years of his work, the venturers also gained valuable skills on teaching, which they now can pass on to the children then engage with, as part of their venture
