Objectives

Within five months after the project start date: Develop a knowledge pool of resources for multiple rounds of the quiz, factoring in a variety of categories, types, and levels of questions and answers, including high-resolution images and multimedia content for visual clues. This will be evidenced by a review of such content developed by the awardee by a panel of experts. This content should be provided as a study guide for all participants.
Within six months of the project start date: Build general awareness about the Indo Pacific region among young adults (teams consisting of at least 100 university students from across India and another 100 from the region making a total of 200) by recruiting them to participate in an international, inter-university quiz competition focused on the region. This will be evidenced by the number of students across the Indo-Pacific enroll and participate in the preliminary rounds of the competition.
Within seven months of the project start date: Teams consisting of at least 50 students (30 from India and 20 from the region) will embark on a comprehensive and in-depth study of the Indo-Pacific, which will be evidenced by their active participation in the subsequent semi-final and final rounds of the quiz competition.
Within 10 months of the project start date: At least 100,000 predominantly youth audience members across the Indo-Pacific region would view the Indo Pacific as a cohesive region, through building general awareness about the present challenges and opportunities as well as the syncretic cultural heritage of the region. This will be evidenced by the responses to sample surveys posted on the visual media platform on which the program is broadcast and review of the social media engagements the program generates.
Within 12 months of the project start date: Winners announced and publicity generated for the competition.
