When a child opens eyes in this world, their parents start dreaming and making effort for the better future of their child and evidently, so far education is a best and easiest way of doing it. But in rural India, there is a different story on part of both parents and role of education system. Here, We will emphasis on role of parents because of its social context, and education system.

Parents are first school, therefore educated parents and their understanding of the issues, play an important part in the children’s life. But it seems that first school in rural India is not good enough to help their children in their studies as parents are not well educated and they are not aware of that how education can change the life of their children, however it is not parents to blame for it, it is the poor education system and there is a social-economic context to be blamed. 

Through powerful collectives called ‘Together for Change’ action projects, children form teams and are guided through a step-wise community engagement and problem-solving journey that builds vital 21st-century skills of teamwork and collaboration, confidence,  creativity, critical thinking, empathy, and much more. The Together for Change themes include Bird Watching, Critical Thinking, Gender, and Diversity.

Life Skills. The activity cards focus on self-development (resilience, goal setting, financial literacy, appreciation of arts and literature, etc.) and civic skills (gender equality, celebrating our composite culture, living in harmony with nature, working with the government to solve issues, and so on).
