In Nandwal it was unthinkable for women/girls to perform garbha dance in public

It was men and boys who occupied cultural space during festivals. Avani, Global for Children partner in Kolhapur, Maharashtra (India), facilitated a process of reflection through the SALT approach, where adolescents, women, men, and mothers-in-law  realized their inner power but also the strengths in others which helped them to build a common dream, conduct self-assessment and action…

With the Blessing of Goddess Kali, DHARA Learning Center Begins Its Journey.

কালী মায়ের আশীর্বাদে উদ্বোধন হলো ধারা লার্নিং সেন্টার।

২৪.০৭.২০২৪ থেকে ২৪ সালের ৩০ জুলাই—তারিখ পর্যন্ত ধারার প্রতিটি সদস্য একসাথে এক স্বপ্ন দেখেছিল। সেই স্বপ্ন ছিল ধারাকে আরও এক ধাপ এগিয়ে নেওয়ার। সবার আলাদা আলাদা ভাবনা মিলে তৈরি হয়েছিল এক বিশাল “স্বপ্নগুচ্ছ”, যার কেন্দ্রবিন্দু ছিল—ধারা লার্নিং সেন্টার।

কিন্তু স্বপ্ন বাস্তবায়নের পথে সবচেয়ে বড় চ্যালেঞ্জ ছিল জায়গা নির্ধারণ। কারণ, প্রতিটি জায়গার নিজস্ব সীমাবদ্ধতা আর চাহিদা থাকে। অনেক ভাবনা-চিন্তার পর অবশেষে…

‎ “জাগরণ: SALT এর আলোয় অন্ধকারে পথ খোঁজা।" "Jagoron: Finding the Path Through Darkness in the Light of SALT."



‎‎চরবিন পাড়া কমিউনিটির কথা বললে এখন অনেকেই একটি নাম উচ্চারণ করেন, ‘জাগরণ’।

‎একটি দল, যেখানে বিশজন কিশোর-কিশোরী একসাথে স্বপ্ন দেখে, সাহস নিয়ে কাজ করে, আর সমাজে পরিবর্তনের বাতাস বইয়ে দেয়। তারা শুধু একটি ইয়ুথ টিম নয়, তারা এক নতুন প্রজন্মের প্রতিনিধি, যাদের হাত ধরে চরবিন পাড়া ধীরে ধীরে জেগে উঠছে অন্ধকার থেকে আলোয়। এই ছেলে-মেয়েরা কেউ বড় শহরে বেড়ে ওঠেনি।…

সল্টের মাধ্যমে করণ হরিজনের জীবনে অনুপ্রেরণার এক অসাধারণ পরিবর্তন

আমি মনিষা দাস, আশীর্বাদ অর্গানাইজেশনের একজন গর্বিত ফ্যাসিলিটেটর। কমিউনিটিতে যখন প্রথম সল্ট কনভারসেশনের জন্য গিয়েছিলাম, তখন এলাকাটা আমার কাছে ছিল একেবারেই নতুন ও অন্যরকম। মানুষ, পরিবেশ—সব কিছু যেন অপরিচিত লাগছিল। কিন্তু ধীরে ধীরে যখন সবার সঙ্গে কথা বলতে শুরু করলাম, হাসিমুখে তাদের জীবনের গল্প শুনলাম, তখন এক অদ্ভুত বন্ধন তৈরি হলো।

এখন মনে হয়, এ যেন আমার নিজেরই একটি পরিবার। এমনও হয় যে, একদিন যদি এলাকায় না যাই, পরদিন মানুষজন ভালোবাসা নিয়ে জিজ্ঞেস করে—

“আপনাকে দেখি নাই গত…

Elders with Vision: Building Youth Strength through Sports

In Kewdha, an indigenous Santhal village,  elderly members of the village council called Manjhiharam have shown forward thinking. They believe that if everyone in the community shared the same mindset, village development would be certain. Over the past few years, they observed that many children and youth in the village were spending too much time on mobile phones, wandering around aimlessly, and some had even started getting involved with drugs. The number of students attending school was…

Learning Through Reflection: How AER Improved My Way of Working

The After Experience Reflection (AER) process has truly helped me to reorganize and improve the way I plan and conduct programs. Through this approach, I can clearly identify the gaps in my work and highlight key issues that need attention before setting up a new program.

I first learned about AER from the ARC initiative, and it has brought a real change in how I organize my activities. Now, I don’t use this process only for organisation's programs — I apply it in almost every…

স্বপ্নের হাই স্কুল: ঋষিপাড়ার মায়েদের গল্প - The Dream High School: The Story of the Mothers of Rishipara

ঋষিপাড়া কমিউনিটিতে ইনডিভিজুয়াল সল্ট সেশনে গিয়ে আমি অনেক মায়ের সঙ্গে কথা বলেছিলাম। প্রত্যেকের চোখে ছিল একটাই স্বপ্ন,তাদের সন্তান যেন স্কুলে যায়, লেখাপড়া শিখে নিজের জীবনে কিছু করে।

এই কমিউনিটিতে শিক্ষার হার খুবই কম। টানবাজার থেকে ঋষিপাড়ায় সিফট হওয়ার পর অনেক মা জানতেনই না, এখানে একটি সরকারি প্রাথমিক বিদ্যালয় আছে। গ্রুপ সল্ট সেশনে যখন বিষয়টি উঠে আসে, তারা বিস্মিত হন। সেদিন থেকেই শুরু হয় তাদের স্বপ্নের পথচলা।

ড্রিম বিল্ডিং সেশনে এসে সেই স্বপ্নগুলো আরও স্পষ্ট হয়। মায়েরা বুঝতে…

Learning From Each Other :The Journey of Hijlipara Mothers Toward Nutrition and Self-Reliance.

গত ২ মাস যাবৎ হিজলিপাড়ার মায়েদের মধ্যে সবজি লাগানোর ইতিবাচক আভাস লক্ষ্য করেছি। তাদের বাড়িতে অনেক ফাঁকা জায়গা পড়ে ছিলো। কিন্তু তারা কখনো ভাবেনি এই ফাঁকা জায়গাকে তারা কিভাবে কাজে লাগাতে পারে। আমি একটি গ্রুপ সল্টে তাদের প্রশ্ন করেছিলাম,

“আপনারা কি কখনো চিন্তা করেছেন যে আপনাদের বাড়িতে যে ফাঁকা জায়গা পড়ে আছে সেগুলো কিভাবে কাজে লাগানো যায়?”

তারা তেমন কোন উত্তর দেয়নি সেদিন। আমিও আর তাদের এটা নিয়ে কিছুই বলিনি। কারন আমি কখনো চাইনা যে কমিউনিটির মানুষকে আমি আইডিয়া দেবো। বরং আমি তাদের কি…
