لەلایان چەند کەسێکی نایابەوە
دەکەم چیرۆکی خۆمتان بۆ بگێڕمەوە
چا-مان پێکەوە دەخواردەوە
ئالودەی ئەم شتانە ببومایە
کاریگەریان لەسەر درووست بکەن
دیزاینی هەندێ شتی تازەمان کرد
بینەر:بەڵێ
بینەر: بەڵێ
بینەر: بەڵێ
لەو هێزە؟ لەو هەستە زۆرە؟
کە ئەویش غاندی-یە
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Kiran Sethi - EducatorThe founder of the Riverside School in Ahmedabad, Kiran Sethi has launched an initiative to make our cities more child-friendly.
Why you should listen
Kiran Bir Sethi's early training as a designer is clear in her work as an educator -- she looks beyond what exists, to ask, "could we do this a better way?" In 2001, she founded the Riverside School in Ahmedabad, designing the primary school's curriculum (and its building) from the ground up. Based around six "Beacons of Learning," the school's lesson plan focuses on creating curious, competent future citizens. The school now enrolls almost 300 children and has franchised its curriculum widely.
Sethi's latest project, inspired by dialogue with the children of Riverside, is called AProCh -- which stands for "A Protagonist in every Child." Fighting the stereotype of modern kids as rude and delinquent, AProCh looks for ways to engage Ahmedabad's children in modern city life, and to revamp our cities to make room for kids to learn, both actively and by example.
