In a shift from the usual, the Youth Fellowship Team conducted an Open House for all the Fellows on October 7^th, 2012. The open house was intended to provide a space for the youth fellows to express, share and discuss anything of their own choice. In addition, it aimed at providing a space for the youth fellows to plan, think and execute their own agenda.

The fellows were first introduced to critical pedagogy and the idea that learning should be within the control of the student. Fellows, were then given a free run. Together, they formulated and executed an agenda that they collectively listed. Their agenda included exploring PUKAR’ library, watching documentary movies and playing educative and entertaining games.

A total of 28 fellows, including 15 females and 13 males, attended the Open House. The Team was happy to observe leadership qualities and emergent skills during this time. In group research, often, individual talent goes unnoticed and the Open House provided an opportunity for this to surface and be acknowledged.
