I participated in the international workshop titled Children’s Participation & Protagonism, held from May 17 to 28, 2002 at Namma Bhoomi, Kundapura, Karnataka, India. Organized by DHRUVA, the program focused on promoting child rights, youth leadership, and inclusive participation in decision-making processes. The workshop brought together professionals, journalists, educators, and child-rights advocates from across South Asia to exchange knowledge on empowering children as active protagonists in social development. My involvement in this regional initiative reflects my long-standing commitment to advancing child rights, participatory communication, and development-oriented storytelling through my professional work.
