Young Warrior NXT
Chat-Based Learning Solution (FunDoo)
Brought together 11 partners, and co-designed and implemented 15 unique life skills pilot programmes over a year to build evidence on scalable, impactful delivery models. These interventions collectively reached approximately 88,000 young people across 12 states of India. The learnings from these pilots highlighted the importance of offline teaching, training of teachers to impart life skills and the necessity of in-person nudges in self-paced learning to bring about high impact. Learnings and best practices emerging from the pilots were also documented into a succinct report, along with deep dives into the 15 pilots.
FunDoo is an interactive chat-based learning solution for 21st century skilling and career awareness for young people from 14-24 years. The content on funDoo is byte-sized, gamified and follows the ‘learning by doing’ principle. Users can access the platform, even with a low-bandwidth network, through UNICEF’s U-Report chatbot available on WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram and Facebook Messenger. FunDoo has reached over 830,000 learners pan-India, and is now being scaled globally.

Serving young people aged 13-18, career guidance portal can facilitate learning about the eligibility, educational requirements, scholarships, colleges, information about fellowships in different countries for a career domain in multiple regional languages. Additionally, information on different entry-points to that field and various growth options in that career domain. Overall, career guidance is being enabled through multiple pathways towards enabling young people to make informed decisions about their career.
