Kala- Aakaar Program/ The Changemakers Program: The word kala-Aakaar literally means SHAPE OF TOMORROW. This program enables our young generation to become sensitive to the social/cultural/environmental values that we are currently living around.
In all sense this course aims at scaffolding the abecedarians to understand the consequences of their actions in the not-so-far future...which they will be a part of! The modules of this course intend to enable the young generation to become more sensitive towards their social, cultural environmental values irrespective of their ethnicity/religious beliefs/social class.
Our KALA AAKAR sessions are delivered in parts to the students as it not only involves teaching but also practicing what is learnt. The learning takes place through presentation, real life experiences, analysis and discussion, hands-on activities to name a few. We fix our learning outcome primarily to be the realization of the importance of the power that lies within us to make the society and environment beautiful and worthy of its existence.
The sessions of Kala Aakar program are structured to inculcate sensitivity in the learners about several environmental and social issues, and challenge status quo to initiate the change that is required for a better future.
A program essential is that our learners maintain journals. After every session the journal entries are evaluated and edited by our educators.
As part of the culmination ceremony, we intend to do a showcase of the work done by our children which has been guided by our trainers, supported and sponsored by our collaborators.
We are recording a few shows on spreading awareness amongst the masses about socio-cultural issues and their solutions. The series is intended to be podcasted on YouTube.
