LEARNING CONTENT & INDIGENOUS Knowledge
As part of our Vision - 'Education access to All..' - we have been working on collaborating with the Communities to focus on creating day to day use - Language Learning Content - in Mother Tongue by incorporating contextual knowledge - such as Lived experiences, Culture, History, Indigenous practices.
Since 2019 we have strived to publish the learnings as Books which can be accesible to 'Communities First' and shared with wider audience. Hence we have decided to provide it for free to all under the Creative Commons License. We will happy to help you contextualise and create content for local Communities you work for as well.
The Van Gujjar community of Uttarakhand is traditionally a forest-dwelling pastoral nomadic community. Over the years there have been instances of settlement which has led to concentration of many families in the Terai region of the Himalayas especially Bahadrabad block of the Haridwar district. They have long raised buffalos to support themselves. Van Gujjars speak Gojri as the mother tongue. Over the years the community has been introduced to school education and first generation learners have started entering schools.
This workbook aims to use contest as a key learning tool for children especially in the Foundational Stage of Learning.
Similar books have been created for other learning objectives.

स्वास्थ्य की वर्णमाला
समानता फ़ाउंडेशन की कोशिश रहती है की हम सामाजिक मुद्दों पर गहन विचार विमर्श करके उनसे जुड़े जवाबों की तलाश करें। शिक्षा को अहम मानते हुए किसी भी जवाब का अवलोकन किया जाता है। इसी क्रम में स्वास्थ्य की वर्णमाला बनाने का काम हमारे द्वारा किया गया है। इस किताब का इस्तेमाल शिक्षक, युवा आदि द्वारा किया जा सकता है। इसके माध्यम से बच्चों और बड़ों में भाषा को सीखते हुए स्वास्थ्य के बारे में ज़रूरी जानकारी और समझ पैदा की जा सकती है। इसको करने के लिए विभिन्न शैक्षिक अनुभवों का प्रयोग हो सकता है।
