Samvaad, since 2014, has emerged as an ecosystem that brings together tribes of India and beyond for constructive dialogue. It enables critical elements of tribal identity to thrive, be celebrated and fed into the dialogue and fosters a youth peer group that drives positive change. It has brought together more than 30,000 women, men and children from 157 tribes across 25 states and five Union Territories of India and 17 countries, who have reinstated faith in the Samvaad ecosystem, time and again, in impartial contemplation of tribal narratives, balanced with a celebration of rich tribal culture, music, folklore and beyond.
This ecosystem, each year, is held together by an underlying theme which is contextual and resonant for dialogue throughout the year and the five-day annual event held during November. The theme has matured from specific domains like tribal languages, leadership, culture, and healing practices, among others, leading to broader pivots of conversations on Tribalism Today and Coming Together for Social Change.
Our effort to bring communities closer, therefore, continues through the theme: Reimagine
Continuing the dialogue: We are at the cusp of a decade that is everchanging, and, at this juncture, a lot is being reimagined, including the future and what it portends for today. A new agenda for change is emerging and is raising questions that will not go away. In this context, Samvaad 2021 hopes to reflect on what tribal communities envision their future to be, in the theme for this year, ‘Reimagine.’

In this context, Samvaad 2021 hopes to reflect on what tribal communities envision their future to be, in the theme for this year, ‘Reimagine.’
This year, we aim to bring communities closer to understanding the need to reimagine a future that enables long-term change, codesigning new solutions and embracing the role of the tribal way of life to drive transformations and come up with a collective voice that resonates with all.
We can only do so much by ourselves, but coming together can ensure a more profound impact. We seek to harness the Samvaad platform and take the time to listen, learn, and be authentic with each other together, and reimagine a world that has the power to create lasting change.
Objective
The Ecosystem
They are tribes, yes, for the purpose of political classification, but they are not a homogeneous people. They vastly differ from each other in language, culture, social structure, livelihood and decision-making process.
