No Child’s Play

Reimagining
​Children & Young Peoples’ Participation

April 13 to 15, 2023
3-day Residential Workshop

Do you believe in the ability and agency of children and young people?

Why then children and young people remain on the margins when it comes to their meaningful participation? Do we need to analyse the culture of children and young people being unheard or silenced? Would understanding layers of exclusion before talking about participation help in ensuring that voices of children and young people are heard?

Meaningful participation of children and young people, we believe, could positively impact social and ecological justice!

How to design and facilitate such processes?

Are you a parent, teacher, community organiser, trainer, facilitator, researcher, project or programme manager, activist, volunteer… or any one who works for/with children and young people?

This workshop then is an opportunity to explore possibilities of children and young peoples’ participation… away from tokenism.

Square Pegs, Round Holes

Reimagining
​Life Skills for Children & Young People

April 16 to 18, 2023
3-day Residential Workshop

Do you believe that the purpose of life skill education is to build children and young people as better beings?

Why then are we trying to hammer square pegs into round holes? Pushing children and young people to join the rat race? Making them more individualistic and competitive? Disconnecting them from their own environment and thereby weakening communities? In the mad rush for development, shaping attitudes that are increasingly anthropocentric?

Building values and shaping attitudes, we believe, will enable and empower children and young people to live together!

How to design and facilitate such processes?

Are you a parent, teacher, community organiser, trainer, facilitator, researcher, project or programme manager, activist, volunteer… or any one who works for/with children and young people?

This workshop then is an opportunity to reexamine and reimagine the idea of life skills… beyond just employability skills.

We invite you in this exciting learning journey!

​Superman ka Best Friend, a one-act (50 min) play in Hindi is about children not being mute witness to the outside world even if they remain unheard.

The performance creates a space for both children and adults to deepen a conversation around “development” ​and reimagine a better world.
