Connections India is made possible through the generous support of Tata Trusts, the M.K Tata Trust, JSW Foundation, and Godrej Agrovet. Their commitment to fostering education and the arts is enabling future generations of theatre-makers and artistes. The initiative is also proud to announce the Museum of Solutions (MuSo) as its official Festival Partner; MuSo\u2019s ethos of inclusivity and accessibility perfectly aligns with the values of NCPA Connections India. By embracing diversity and promoting collective learning, the Museum empowers young people to think ambitiously and take concrete steps toward creating a better future for all. Together, these partnerships will ensure that NCPA Connections India continues to be a platform for creativity, collaboration, and the spirit of theatre among the youth.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1.15;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;text-align:justify\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1.15;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:14.67px\"><span lang=\"en-gb\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-gb\">Sharing the idea behind the initiative, <strong>Shernaz Patel, Creative Learning Director, Connections India said<\/strong>, \u201c<\/span><i><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">Connections celebrates young people &#8211; they are the artists, the singers, dancers and backstage teams.
