In September and October 2023, we collaborated with the Delhi Council for Child Welfare to conduct a series of interactive workshops with the students at DCCW Palna, using the Ourchive Curriculum to promote greater understanding of and engagement with oral literature, and including elements such as creating a human library. In June 2024, we conducted a second iteration of the Ourchive Workshops Sessions with 4th and 5th grade students at the Delhi Bal Kalyan Parishad Gaddipur Center.Â
In July 2024, we conducted 2 workshop sessions with caretakers and teachers at the Delhi Bal Kalyan Parishad Gaddipur Center, aiming to impart basic training in storytelling - the broader aim of this intervention was to set-up long-term storytelling practices at the Center, through which younger children were able to develop basic skills in language, literacy, as well as to provide a foundation for engaging with oral storytelling. This intervention formed the basis for ongoing engagement at the Center as part of the Ourchive Junior Academy.
