The greater objective of education is to create “Capacity & Competence”. Capacity to overcome obstacles, pursuing excellence with righteousness & living ‘with’ and not ‘for’ happiness. This will ensure our children are deserving and not just demanding.

The proposal given below is for the long term “Saksham – Values, SEL & Life Skills Education” program for schools.

The word Saksham means ‘To be Capable’ “Saksham” is a unique, long term, curriculum integrated, character building program for schools which helps students, teachers & parents prepare for the future by creating awareness within them of their thoughts, ideas & actions and guiding them towards values based living & decision-making.

Saksham is intended towards helping participants imbibe values & life skills which help them be Good (Ethical), Successful (Prosperous) & Flourishing (Realising Fullest Life Potential) thereby creating model citizens for a better world.

Saksham is a seismic advancement to traditional, preachy, non-impressive moral education. Here’s how

• • Based on the 21st Century Science of Character : Saksham draws upon cutting edge, latest research studies & frameworks in “Social Emotional Learning, Character Development & Positive Psychology” recommended by well reputed experts & bring them to schools.

• • Custom Designed as per School & Child Needs : Saksham teaches what is needed rather than what is scripted. Every school’s needs & wants are different so the saksham team designs a unique approach, values & events for every standard as per inputs of school.

• • Experiential, Conversative, Reflective & Action Oriented : Saksham doesn’t preach or profess values but reasons & builds conviction in children about higher ideals of thinking, behaving & living through open ended & powerful techniques, aids, tools, in-house developed card & board games.

• • Multi-Educator & Delivery Model : Saksham can be delivered Online or Offline, Weekdays or Weekends by Trained Val-Ed Educators or Chosen School Educators who will be trained in the art of inspiring children to understand & adopt “Values-Based Thinking & Living”. The messenger & the message is always the same.

• Involves & Transforms Parents & Teachers : Saksham-by-design involves the family at home & school through Teacher Trainings, Parenting Orientations & Values Events throughout the year ensuring overall transformation.
