About Campaign Incubator 2020

Campaign Incubator 2019, was a 6-month journey to equip people-powered campaigns with everything necessary, from skills, innovative tools and support, to shift public opinion and organize people at scale to build stronger social movements. With customised module and session design, a panel of experts from the sector, we incubated three diverse and unique campaigns from South Asia: an Indo-Pak peace-building initiative called Chai Ki Dukaan, a campaign in Bangalore for waste-free neighbourhoods in Bangalore, and a campaign demanding ICC to be set-up in colleges in Jaipur and Delhi. The program helped the campaigns kick-off the ground, and achieve it’s peaks and reach their goals! Get a glimpse of the program through the video below!

We exist now in a post-COVID19 world. 2020 has been a tough year, and the social change landscape has rapidly changed. The large-scale, socio-economic effects caused by the pandemic and the lockdown has unearthed a number of issues that need urgent attention. In addition, the way we organize and campaign has altered as well, with face-to-face and onground campaigning now moving in virtual spaces. Addressing these issues and campaigning challenges will be at the heart of Campaign Incubator 2020. Campaigners today have new challenges and concerns, and Campaign Incubator 2020 will focus on how campaigners can continue to work, build momentum, challenge the system, and sustain movements in the current reality of these times!
