Creativity is multidimensional. It can be a trait, skill, ability, or an approach, or all of these. Yuvaink aims to empower the youth with a holistic platform to enrich and showcase their cognitive and creative talents, satiate their inquisitive minds and be their confidante.
The Eureka Moment:
Sir Ken Robinson in his motivational talk, “Do Schools Kill Creativity?”on TedX, contends that “All children have tremendous talents and we squander them.” He also highlights that, “Creativity is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status.” These profound words of his had ignited the spark of Yuvaink in Jaish. And the new education policy (which lays emphasis on developing skills along with academics) announced by our Government fuelled the spark into a raging fire. When Jaish discussed this with Vishnu, he was absolutely thrilled and together they decided to flag it off.
