About the Organization

Bewajah is a non-profit organisation based in Lucknow that works with educational institutions to build agency in adolescents and youth so they can make self-empowering choices in their personal, social and academic sphere as an informed and aware individual and enhance their subjective well-being.

About the Fellowship

Have you ever felt unsafe to be yourself? As someone who once felt invisible and worthless, we found our voice through theatre arts. It has given so many people the courage to explore, express, and rebuild their confidence. Through the Open Up Theatre Arts Fellowship, you can embark on a journey to find your own voice. It is a journey of building self-worth, finding your agency and by engaging in community action, taking that experience to others. You can help children facing similar struggles find their voice, and be part of a movement that empowers young minds and creates lasting change in marginalised communities.
