The Solutions Festival – SST 7.0

For the past five days, the 13 changemakers of School for Social Transformation 7.0 (SST 7.0) have been immersed in this very journey. From cleaning up waterfalls to amplifying the voices of street vendors, from sparking environmental awareness among children to building a community library, each of them stepped into their communities for a one-day engagement project.

In that process, they didn’t just act — they listened, observed, and identified deeper problems that their communities face.

Now, it’s time for the next step.

🌍 What is the Solutions Festival?

The Solutions Festival is a celebration of imagination, responsibility, and creativity. It is the space where the participants of SST 7.0 present the solutions they are developing for the problems they discovered during their engagements.

🗓️ Date & Time: Tomorrow, 9:00 AM (IST)
📍 Where: School for Social Transformation 7.0

At this festival, all 13 changemakers will stand before peers, mentors, and the wider world to share their visions for change. These are not abstract ideas — they are grounded in lived experiences, rooted in the challenges of real people and places.

✨ The Journey So Far

• Community Engagements: Each participant carried out a one-day project in their locality, ranging from environmental drives and education sessions to youth action and cultural empowerment.
• Problem Identification: Through these engagements, they surfaced systemic issues — lack of waste management, need for education awareness, civic neglect, marginalization, livelihood struggles, and more.
• Developing Solutions: Over the past days at SST, they have been learning, brainstorming, and shaping these problems into practical, scalable solutions.

🚀 What Happens Next

Tomorrow, at the Solutions Festival, the participants will present their solutions to the world. This is not the end of the process — it is the beginning of a three-month action journey.

• The next 90 days will be dedicated to taking the first steps toward implementation.
• Participants will test their ideas, refine their approaches, and mobilize support.
• They will work with their communities, mentors, and networks to see how these solutions can create tangible impact.

The festival is a launchpad — from imagination to action.

🌟 Why It Matters

The Solutions Festival is more than a presentation; it is a demonstration of what young changemakers are capable of when given space to listen, learn, and act.

• It proves that solutions don’t have to come from outside — they can emerge from within communities.
• It shows that small actions, when nurtured, can grow into movements.
• It celebrates courage: the courage to care, to take responsibility, and to reimagine the future.

💚 Looking Ahead

As we step into the Solutions Festival tomorrow, we are not just hearing ideas — we are witnessing the first sparks of long-term change.

The problems identified are real. The solutions, though still in their early stages, carry the promise of transformation. And the 13 changemakers of SST 7.0 are ready to lead this journey.

We invite you to witness their ideas, support their visions, and walk with them as they take the next steps into three months of action and experimentation.

Because the world we dream of for 2040 begins with the solutions we create today. 🌏✨
