Equipping Youth with the Skills to Thrive!
Quest Alliance is a not-for-profit trust that equips young people with 21st century skills by enabling self-learning. They work across the spectrum of stakeholders from learners and their families to teachers and institutions, to plug gaps in the education and learning ecosystem. India has the largest young workforce with over 65% under the age of 35. Quest Alliance wanted to equip young people with necessary life skills needed to thrive in their professional and personal surroundings.
Our challenge was to deliver an immersive and impactful experience while keeping in mind language constraints and limited data access. We relied on powerful narratives to introduce and reinforce abstract ideas to create meaning for our users.
The course is broken up in 7 modules with a total of 44 digital lessons. We wanted to impart knowledge through the medium of powerful stories. We had learned on the field that users tended to recall powerful stories and examples even after many years.
For each module we created different themes and characters. Having an overarching theme for each module gave us enough room to weave different stories for each lesson, around the same set of characters.
We explored different visual styles and treatments. The visuals needed to be relatable and needed to reflect the diversity of cultures and backgrounds of our target audience. We also made sure to keep the visual language lively to make the lessons more engaging.
Explorations for different Visual Styles
We conducted User Testing to better understand what was being absorbed by our learners and identify content that they were struggling with. This activity helped us in designing more effective digital interactions for our audience.
We designed digital interactions to reinforce concepts to suit a self-learning course. We also created interactive scenarios to make learning more tangible.
This project was done under Shreya Toshniwal at Fold Labs along with Indrayudh Sengupta, Vedika Kasat, Sooraj S S, Amith V Nair, Ridhima Bhutani & Shruti.
