The vision of this program is to run outdoor and creative education in schools for personal and social development of children. Activities and sessions are based on the academic curriculum. This is meant to supplement the learning which takes place in the classroom.
School Without Walls is working with Gram Vikas Mandal Primary School, located at Patonapada, Yeoor Village in Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Thane. This school has students till 7th standard. For higher education children have to go school and college in Thane city which is 5-9km from their villages.
The children of this school are from tribal communities and live in dense area of the national park. These children are not exposed to city lofe and have never visited public places like post offices, art galleries, etc.
After discussing with the Principal of the school, School Without Walls began outdoor and creative education based programs for these children. Permission was granted once the Principal became aware of the importance of experientioal learning for children. The school staff also belives that this program will increase attendance, and children will gain a platform to enhance their potential skill and capacities.
