Haiyya is a platform that enables citizens to become leaders who build collective power to create positive change on issues that impact their neighbourhoods. Haiyya provides training, information, and toolkits to build non-partisan teams across ages who take ownership over creating behavioral and policy change. Haiyya has tested our model of short-term actions and long-term teams in the classroom and in the field, working with citizens who take ownership for a more just, equal, and united India. We envision problems in India being solved by a participatory democracy where citizens use their collective leadership and agency to enable good governance and civic morality.
Haiyya’s programming on Citizenship Education is within our strategic focus of Educating. Currently, civics and citizenship education in India is highly under-prioritized, making up only one hour of school curriculum per week, and focusing on rote learning and static institutions. We believe that civics and citizenship education is a dynamic subject that should focus on participation and active classroom engagement and should building behaviours for India’s future democratic citizens. Through our Citizenship Education programming, we aim to develop 5 Key Competencies in all our Leaders: Communication & Storytelling, building personal Relationships based on commitment to work together on common interests, designing dynamic Structures and teams to enable people to work together, creating Strategy by building a plan from start to finish, and implementing that plan into measurable Action. These will be inculcated through classroom-based Student Governments to imbibe a democratic and values based education, and Action-Based Citizenship Projects in the community to give students real-world experience in democracy.
Those interested in Civics Education and wish to engage in such an initiative, should mail their resumes to [email protected] by April 15th, 2014. Kindly mention that you are a student of M.A. Education (Elementary) programme at TISS, Mumbai, in the mail. This is a volunteer position, currently available in Mumbai.
