On November 6, we hosted a YIN - Youth Inclusion Network Networking Event at Top Cat - Offbeat Kolkata, co organised with Life Project 4 Youth bringing together companies, organizations, stars, and Youth to exchange on Youth Inclusion challenges and opportunities in India.

With 33 participants, the event offered a warm and collaborative environment where mixed groups worked through a structured workshop to share experiences, reflect on inclusion pathways, and co-create ideas.

Despite language diversity, the discussions remained dynamic, inclusive, and solutions-oriented thanks to strong facilitation and active engagement from all participants.

We concluded the session with a collective restitution, closing remarks from Second Bridge, and networking over tea and snacks. 

Key Takeaways

* Strong engagement and meaningful cross-sector collaboration

* Workshop format enabled rich exchanges and diverse perspectives

* Youth participation added authenticity and purpose to the discussions

Cross-sector dialogue remains essential to advancing Youth Inclusion
