Masterclass
The Bachpan Manao Masterclasses are one-hour online sessions designed to offer practical ideas and tools that you can use right away. Each session provides real, on-the-ground solutions, including programmatic strategies that have worked, skills to enhance your work, and free public resources you can access.
You’ll also hear from those who implement these ideas: program designers, researchers, educators, frontline workers, community members, and parents.
In every masterclass, you can expect to leave with:Â
✅ A real-world idea you can apply to your own context
✅ A new skill or resource to support your work
✅ Fresh insights from people working directly on the ground
Come ready to learn and connect, with something valuable to take back with you!
Beyond Design: Building Ecosystems for Arts, Play & Learning
In this masterclass, Natasha Sharma, Co-founder and Curator of the Govandi Arts Festival, who also leads Public Art and Design programmes at the Community Design Agency, shares how abandoned spaces in Mumbai’s Natwar Parekh Colony were reclaimed as community-led environments for children and caregivers. Drawing from eight years of work in Govandi, the session shows why better childhoods mean reimagining the whole neighbourhood, not just designing spaces for children.
