Girls Learning and Leadership Program
Girls Learning & Leadership Programme
The Girls Learning and Leadership program (GLLP) will run from November 2020 to June 2022 to support adolescent girls in maintaining learning continuity (Dalit, Trible, and Minority) during the COVID-19 school lockdown and building their leadership.
The Girls Learning Program
GLLP focuses on the socially marginalized community of adolescent girls to promote their leadership by providing opportunities to build their leadership locally and learn various social and gender topics to broaden their knowledge. With that, we provide curriculum support to complete their school education with the best learning and performance.
Girls' Empowerment and gender sensitivity involve fostering equal participation and leadership opportunities for girls, ensuring their voices are heard and valued. This can be achieved through specific programs designed to address the unique needs and challenges faced by girls. Additionally, promoting gender awareness and sensitivity is crucial, helping communities to recognize and dismantle gender biases. An integral part of this empowerment includes safeguarding girls' sexual and reproductive health rights, ensuring they have the knowledge and resources to make informed decisions about their bodies and futures.
We have supported the Girls with curriculum support in their school education about English subject learning, Experiential science, and innovative math. The GCs were also trained on social and gender awareness, identity affirmation and leadership, the Constitution, rights and legislations, the use of computers, and social media for enhancing their leadership.
The English language and life skills module enhanced core skills such as self-awareness, empathy, critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving.
CSEI collaborated with Jodogyan and Avishkar Foundations to develop integrated Math modules for primary to secondary levels, addressing gaps in foundational understanding.
Math modules were designed using experiential methods, featuring sections like Ganit Charcha, Suno, Dekho, Karo, and Abhyas for better engagement.
Science engagement programs were conducted for 30 women and 30 men community leaders from Tribal, Dalit, and religious minority backgrounds.
The initiative reached 1,050 youth, including students in grades 8-10 from 20 habitations/10 schools, as well as over 200 Tribal children.
