Inclusive Community Festivals and Volunteering

This smile says it all. For us, the joy of the children we work with is the driving force behind everything. This is why we volunteer our weekends to bring festivals like Tandav to life.

We are a movement powered by people. This is a glimpse of our volunteers in action across Bangalore, spending a few hours on weekends teaching, crafting, and dancing at special schools to support children with disabilities.

We are building bridges, not walls. Watch as hundreds of people, including participants in wheelchairs, come together in Bangalore to learn Indian Sign Language, breaking down communication barriers and fostering a truly inclusive community.

Welcome to Karmasthan, India's first space in BTM Layout dedicated purely to volunteering. This is our hub where we plan, prep, and host a variety of inclusive workshops and community events every week.

Our Happy Festival is a day dedicated to joy and connection for visually impaired students. We organize everything from board games and treasure hunts to music jamming and audio-described movies, all with the help of our amazing volunteers.

It’s not just about big festivals. We create intimate moments of connection through art, like this live poetry session at our VIBE Festival. The genuine laughter and shared joy are what make our community special.

Wondering where we came from? Our journey started in 2011 as 'Smileys', a small group meeting on Sundays to give back. This is the story of how we grew into The Inclusion Movement.

This is how we prepare for our festivals, right out in the open at Cubbon Park. Every Sunday, our volunteer dance community gathers to practice and spread the word. It's fun, free, and for a great cause.

This is the energy of our Sign Fest. A massive crowd, a shared purpose, and the pure joy of connection. We are India's largest volunteer movement for inclusion, and this is what it feels like to be a part of it.
