At Apni Shala, we work with children from low-income communities and help build their emotional, interpersonal and thinking skills in children. Why do we do this? So that they have the opportunity to become reflective and inquiring individuals, who are confident, building healthy relationships around them and great problem-solvers! We believe that our life experiences make all of us who we are today. That's why, our programmes for children are tied together by 2 main aspects – experience and expression. Experience: Community work, creative hands-on projects, drama and games provide the experiences which are rich with opportunities to build teamwork skills, leadership abilities, self-confidence, respect for different opinions and empathy, Expression: Along with these experiences we weave together structured reflection sessions which create a platform for children to question, brainstorm, express themselves in an environment free of judgement.
