The essential conceptualization of design of the project is such that, groups of ten to twelve youth each, facilitated by a catalyst would conduct research over a period of one year, on a subject of their own choice, which is anchored in their own experience.

At the outset of the year, an orientation programme is organized for catalysts of the groups. After this, the process starts with selection of research question through consensus building. Each member of the group writes biography at this stage. It is a very important part of developing collective bias of the group. These three months are the most stressful and chaotic period of the fellowship.

This is followed by choosing one or two methodologies and process of data collection. During this time multiple workshops on various research related topics are organized. Screening of documentaries, films and theatre performances also form an important part of pedagogical process. The next two to three months are devoted to analysis and synthesis. At the final stage, everyone’s creativity and ingenuity takes flight when they are thinking about their research outputs for dissemination purposes.
