"Life Plan Program: Building Aspirations, Shaping Futures" by Study Hall Educational Foundation
The Life Plan program is an initiative designed to help students, especially girls, to find answers to three key questions – 1) Where do you want to get to? 2) How will you get there 3) what do you need to t complete this journey? The program helps students envision and build a future of their own choosing. By guiding students to identify their aspirations, develop practical steps to achieve them, and prepare for potential challenges. It empowers them to take control of their lives, building a sense of agency and freedom. What makes this program truly unique is its focus involving parents through one-on-one discussions. Parents are encouraged to engage with their child’s aspirations, providing the emotional and practical support needed to pursue their dreams. When working with girls, the program takes on even greater significance. In many communities, girls face societal expectations that prioritize marriage over education. The Life Plan program challenges these norms by emphasizing that girls have the right to dream beyond traditional roles.
"Normalizing sexuality education in India" by Study Hall Educational Foundation
In India and across the globe, discussions around sex and the reproductive body remain highly stigmatized and are typically avoided. This cultural taboo leaves parents and teachers largely uncomfortable and unprepared to share relevant information with children and youth. As a result, sexuality education for adolescents is virtually non-existent, whether at school or at home. Teenagers are curious and searching for answers. When answers are not provided by the adults in their lives, they then turn to the internet and their friends for information, which may or may not be reliable. Comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) is a vital and progressive approach that addresses the complex sexual and reproductive health and rights needs of adolescents and young people. Unlike traditional sex education, which focuses solely on basic reproductive biology, CSE offers a holistic and age-appropriate curriculum that encompasses diverse dimensions of human sexuality, relationships, and well-being, including emotional, psychological, sociocultural and political aspects.
In this panel discussion, students and teachers from Study Hall Education Foundation will discuss why they believe CSE is a critical piece of a person’s education, and should be included in the school curriculum.
