Youth from the neighbourhood attending a presentation in the Unity Pavilion
The Bioregion Action Group and YouthLink are both outcomes

the process of implementing a project called ‘Paalam’, meaning ‘Bridge’ in
Tamil. This is a bioregional and Auroville youth leadership programme.
The objective of this project is to establish links,

Currently the project has been funded by Stichtin...
