Can you hum one lullaby you used to drift off to sleep to? Billion Readers (BIRD) has launched a unique First Songs Project, an attempt to collect those almost forgotten Indic language lullabies, that are rooted in nostalgia for all of us. Get in touch if you’d like to contribute (and sing one or two on record).
Do you know the average consumption of junk food in your household in a week? Shaishav is celebrating Child Rights Week and getting children to calculate their weekly consumption of chips! They’re also screening the Bachpan Manao film at their Balsena leadership camps to open up discussions on what ‘Seekhne ki Azaadi’ would children would like.
Getting children away from screens is a big task in today’s times, forget encouraging them to read. Adhyayan, Panchayat Raj Commissionerate of Karnataka and StoryWeaver, have come together to celebrate November as ಬಾಲ್ಯವನ್ನು ಆನಂದಿಸಿ, ಬೆಳೆಯುತ್ತಾ ಸಾಗಿ (Balyavannu Aanandisi, Beleyutha Saagi), a month-long campaign, to #GetChildrenReading across Gram Panchayat Libraries, amongst other activities.
