Liferarian Outreach for Wada School 2021
Who & Why?
The NEP 2020 (India) has encouraged investment through philanthropic participation that will help build a vibrant and robust education system for students in schools. Inspired by the NEP 2020, and the desire to build foundational literacy and numeracy literacy, Liferarians, a passionate community of Indian Librarians will help build libraries in rural schools and/or ashram shalas where tribal students receive an education.
Liferarians believe that when students are provided with a relevant and current library resource, students will be empowered. The outreach program will align with the educational needs of the students to promote literacy, student well-being, scientific temper and support powerful learning while fostering a culture of reading and learning.
To meet literacy challenges, Liferarians will:
- Provide access to print and digital materials for the community.
- Promote and build knowledge and skills for librarians/educators/community helpers to promote reading, writing & research skills through a variety of projects.
