At Darwin, we believe that the future of policymaking lies in the hands of our youth. That’s why we created Ugly Chal – a unique platform designed for young leaders to engage in open, candid discussions about pressing policy challenges.

The name “Ugly Chal” reflects our commitment to confronting the difficult, uncomfortable, and often “ugly” problems that need to be addressed for real change. This program brings together a diverse group of passionate young leaders from across sectors, encouraging them to share their vision, insights, and innovative solutions on a range of policy issues.

Through interactive discussions, workshops, and collaborative problem-solving, Ugly Chal fosters an environment where fresh perspectives can challenge the status quo. Participants tackle real-world problems, propose actionable policy recommendations, and explore how to turn ideas into impact.
