I am a core member of Yakjah Reconciliation and Development Network. Yakjah meaning “Being Together” is an awareness based youth network for social transformation. It is a non-partisan not-for-profit innovation focused on peace building, leadership capacity development and healing amongst the youth of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. More on: https://www.yakjah.orgCurrently, I am volunteering with Yakjah on a project - "Culture & Conflict: Peacebuilding Through Crafts", funded and helmed by UKRI (UK Research & Innovation) GCRF Gender, Justice and Security Hub in association with the Middlesex University and London School of Economics wherein Yakjah is the implementing organization in India. My job is to train and consult community mobilisers and field researchers, align them with academic research packs and questions of the main organization, streamline, write, edit and finalize field research reports prepared after conducting FGD’s with women engaged in various craftwork in conflict zones in the areas of Poonch, Srinagar and Jammu (Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir). I am also responsible for documentation and reporting of meetings w.r.t the project and consulting them on partner alliances and engagements if needed in India.I am also leading another new initiative: Project Transcendence, Action and Leadership: Mapping peace systems through youth dialogue: A Research Project in Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh (August - December 2021). This project aims to explore three relevant themes through youth-led action research: identity, peace, and inter-group dialogue. The research question we are exploring is: 'If the individual is the center of transformation and if the transcendence as we call it, that work is to be done within - whether we call it inner work, inner peacebuilding and inner activism, how does it manifest in the external world in forming peace systems that impact the political, economic, social and cultural lives.
