What affects you? Which issues do you think need attention? What skills would you like to showcase? In a first large-scale exhibition children across 5 communities, we organized a show and tell exhibition for children to be able to express their thoughts through art and craft, to be able to translate their science lessons into tangible and innovative experiments and models and to have a platform to display their unique talents to the world.

What we witnessed was a festival of ideas and exhibits brought together by the community children, all thinking and talented individuals, celebrated by their parents, our team members and stakeholders.

 5 COMMUNITIES. 5 STALLS. NUMEROUS TALENTED CHILDREN.

Children from Tulsi Nagar display their art and craft and amidst models for traffic control, drip irrigation and renewable energy.

Air pollution and its impact on the environment and the lives of children was a powerful theme showcased by a group of young climate warriors.

Equal rights, gender justice, climate change and water conservation were themes brought out by children of the Balmiki Basti in Delhi, strong contenders for the competition.

CHILDREN AND THEIR UNIQUE TALENTS
