The Young Warrior Movement engages youths (in the age group 10-30) in some easy and real-life activities to make them fight against Covid. There are essentially five tasks that are part of the Young Warrior Movement.
One, young people can become a vaccine buddy by promoting vaccination, understanding its registration process, the dos and don’ts after vaccination. A lot of vaccine hesitancy can be addressed through vaccine buddies.
The second role that they can play is of a stress buster. There are huge mental health problems that people are facing. As a stress buster they can encourage family members, friends, siblings to talk to an expert about mental health problems. With so much negative news floating around, they can also help in focusing on positive news.
The third task is they can become a ‘fake news police’ to understand the misinformation related to Covid-19 that is out there and how to stop its spread. They can help people tackle their fears much easier than one can in any way.
The fourth role they can really take on is that of a compassionate caregiver. As of now, they are helping their family at home. So, as caregivers they can help their ill family members with their breathing exercises, watch out for any danger signs and make sure they are seeking help when needed.
The fifth and a very important role is to promote youth-led action, as to amplify Covid-appropriate behaviour, which includes masking up, sanitisation of hands and keeping a distance.
These are the different ways in which young people can make a difference. The students of ATS Valley of grades 6 to 10, enthusiastically participated in the movement. They completed all the five tasks and were awarded participation certificate from Yuwaah
