Going to School is |
Going to School makes design-driven stories. Our stories are designed to equip young people with the dynamic skills they need to stay in school. With us, she learns at school and outside in the world around her. Our offline, outside, online are dynamic. They are made for her. They’re also for everyone around her, starting with boys, so we all come together to help her to get where she wants to go. To school, to play and when she finishes school, our stories work to make everyone know she can move from school to sustainable enterprise of her choice, from the pitch, to becoming a start-up sustainable entrepreneur. She’s got a lot to design to solve for. Poverty. Youth unemployment. Climate Change. The way things are for girls.
Game on we say, kicking the ball with her. Game on.
Established in 2003, Going to School is powered by stories. We’re driven by the bright blue sky possibility of infinite stories, much like the infinite game, that she writes, plays and re-writes, to make the world just a little bit different because she gave it a wild try.
Framework. A Five Year Plan
There’s lots that’s new. We want to measure the skills she learns through football. As our schools are co-ed, we’re including boys in the Outdoor School for girls, to learn skills, to play football, to support her in school, at play and one day soon in the ever-changing world of work. To support her to become a start-up entrepreneurs that solves for Climate Change where she lives. Mum’s football leagues, Mum & Dad ‘schools for starting-up’ becoming an entrepreneur. The coastal play corridor, connecting Kochi to Daman and Diu. In rural India, creating 360 communities solving for Climate Change, from school to sustainable start-up and in urban India, sustainable cities.
They say it takes a village. We’re designing based on family frameworks for unique ways to reach her at school, outside, online and for everyone around her, that magical sticky TV for which we’ve always loved, The Children’s Scrappy News Service.
There are no shortcuts. If you want the long read, write to us, we’d be delighted to share.
What drives us
Stories from the field
Bengaluru
We listen to young people in our programs, at school, outside, at play. They tell us what works and what doesn’t. We then change everything to make sure it works. Then we share their points of view. What they see, want, dream, hope for.
