WHY WE DO
- Every Child has immense potential, but not everyone has the necessary support & platform to fulfil it.
- Children have lost interest in learning because of their experiences in school. For Eg – Rote learning method, punishment practices, more focus on the result than the process & the distance between the teacher and student.
- Children are dropping out of school after class 8th, and even if they pass their school, they lack skills to get employed and improve their standard of living.
- Most young people who have an education degree lack essential skills which compel them to work in the unskilled sector.
- Some adolescents are at greater risk of mental health conditions due to their living conditions, lack of love and care, peer pressure, abuse, violence, discrimination, exclusion & lack of access to quality support and services.
- The majority of the children are not engaging in any physical activity because of Smartphone addiction, lack of access to playgrounds, unaware of the consequences & too much homework etc.
- The majority of the girls are not even allowed to make simple decisions for themselves. For Example – Making friends, Playing outdoors, what clothes to wear, Following their interest to learn something etc.
- All of the above problems amplify for the girls that makes them even more vulnerable to adverse conditions.
HOW WE DO IT
L.E.A.P CENTERS
L.E.A.P Centers are learning spaces for children to learn, experiment, express and grow themselves. It’s an opportunity for them to make decisions, take up responsibilities, make connections with others without the fear of failure or judgement. We have set up these centers in all of our locations.
OUR ACTIVITES
Ultimate is a non-contact, self-refereed team sport played with a flying disc called Frisbee.
Ultimate is unique mainly because of the “Mixed Gender” Format – both boys and girls are in the same team, and the “Spirit of the Game” – the principles of fair play, sportsmanship, and the joy of playing.
The sport demands players to showcase their best behaviour while being highly competitive, & as a result, it pushes players to build Character & Imbibe Values like Ethics, Mutual Respect, Non-Violence & Inclusivity. They also learn Essential skills like Self-Regulation, Conflict Resolution, Team Work, Leadership, and Communication.
We use the sport because the skills and values that one learns through the game are not just limited to the game but are even more vital in their life.
Ultimate transcends race, religion, language, gender and is the perfect prototype for children to develop themselves and build a more equitable world.
English is proving to be a necessary language to access information, learn new things over the internet, and connect with different people in this new world.
Our curriculum focuses on helping the child practice sentences that they use in their everyday life. They feel interested and comfortable speaking the new language because of it. They don’t have to memorize too much, and as a result, it doesn’t become a burden for them. We use role-plays and different games to make the class engaging and fun.
The burden of homework, no one to play with, addiction to mobile phones, fast foods, lack of safe spaces are making the lives of Children and Youth Sedentary. We need to educate them on the importance of physical activity and create the necessary bridges to cover the gap.
- We make exercising fun and enjoyable for all,
- conduct group fitness sessions,
- track progress through physical fitness tests,
- conduct health camps & nutrition awareness workshops,
- host fitness games & competitions.
We as a society face many issues like Discrimination, Gender inequality, Fake news, Child marriage, Abuse, Tobacco, alcohol & drug addiction & Environmental issues like water, single-use plastic.
We want to make young people aware and sensitive to these issues so that history doesn’t repeat itself.
We have created different games and activities to start a dialogue with children & develop a basic understanding of these issues. To dive deeper into these complex issues, we conduct specific workshops from experts in their various fields.
As the world was moving towards online learning, the pandemic has accelerated this process. The education systems are changing and will change drastically in the future. The children from disadvantaged backgrounds are not prepared for this change.
We’ve entered an era of continuous change, and individuals need to learn continuously to thrive. We are trying to bridge the digital gap by
- providing mobile phones & tablets
- teaching them how to use digital gadgets
- introducing them to the internet
- teaching them basic software and apps
- showing them the way to access learning content
