Activities planned for YABC integration by branches in 2017

“The non-cognitive methodology and materials of the YABC toolkit enable young people to motivate and

encourage to rst bring change into them and then to the others. Thus, YABC brings the long-lasting impact

and added value at the community level programmes. A very useful toolkit for the entire nation to

bring the positive change.” - Dr. Vanshree Singh, Youth focal point & Director Blood Bank, IRCS.”

“YABC is very important tool for our youth, volunteers and staff who can bring positive and lasting

changes of mindsets, attitudes and behaviours. Some of the skills such as active listening, empathy,

critical thinking, non-violent communication can help our responders for our communities as well as

crucial for today’s young generation.” -Dr. Veer Bhushan, Acting SG and Joint Secretary, IRCS

The YABC toolkit activities are intended to spark off a self-owned process of reection and inner change,

as a prior step to becoming an agent of change in one’s community through ethical leadership, trust and

freedom of choice. I congratulate the Indian Red Cross Society and its branches for a successful integration

of YABC into their key programmes and congratulations to the YABC peer educators for their hard work.”

– Leon Prop, Head of IFRC Country Cluster - New Delhi

“After completion of the YABC training, my condence level become high and I have started overcoming

from the obstacles in life and in society.YABC is a scope to develop the leadership in a positive way.

We have ample scope in IRCS to integrate YABC in our ongoing programmes, such as JRC/YRC trainings / Camps,

DM trainings, awareness campaigns on Heath & Hygiene.” – Anjana Patra, YABC Peer Educator (West Bengal Branch, IRCS)

YABC is a very powerful tool to improve the impact of all our activities at community level because.

We need more and more YABC peer educators to develop our society and our nation by focusing on

behavioural change. This tool is very important for today’s youth to engage for promoting non-violence

and peace in the community as well as among youth.”

Tushar Thacker, YABC Peer Educator (Gujarat State Branch, IRCS
