A month ago BBC Comedy released a video that featured a parody support group extending help to people "who are so woke that they are not being able to have any fun at all". While it was an intelligently scripted and funny sketch, it also made us think of the way in which much of what the youth is trying to say gets lost in a sea of memes, trolls and mockery.

As much as people would like to discredit it, away from the world of reactionary commentary, young people are trying to build a vibrant, supportive, conscientious and proactive community and in Mumbai, no less. One example would be Vitamin Stree, a gender-centric platform founded in 2017 that selects relevant themes, ranging from the environment to this month's pick — mental health; and then creates content around them. Taking it a step further, they have organised VS Mic Check, an event that will showcase 10 poets, all performing a spoken word piece on mental health. The initiative hopes to take these conversations offline, while creating a safe, interesting and appealing environment.
