If you are between 13 and 17 and there is something which really gets you thinking, makes you angry or just forces you to talk aloud, this is where you should tell us about it.

Citizenship Learning and Action Program (CLAP) is about applauding young people, like you, who are already out to change things. In CLAP you need not be 18 years to be a citizen or to take a decision. This is why we let you decide what citizenship means to you! Whatever affects you, whatever you feel strongly about is your citizenship action. And we are here to help you take that forward. Just like you get praised for an awesome painting or some rocking dance moves, we at CLAP recognize your leadership skills in making social change.

To know what others feel and have done you can look at some of these profiles.

Learning workshop

The first three days you will get a chance to meet other people like you. They will also be doing work like you but in very different areas and ways. What better way to know much more about them?

And then you can also join us in learning more about the way you are working and how you can do it better. The fun starts on the fourth day when we tell everyone what you have been up to - by hosting a grand public event where you get recognition for you work – your way!

We give you the space to set up a stall and tell your story to everyone around in your own unique way. What more! Here you can also put your skills to use – sing, dance, paint, act – whatever it takes to take your ideas across.We will help you do all that and more! You will also get a certificate and a cash prize for the use of your work! Working for something you believe in was never as much fun
