PERIODICAL FOR ADOLESCENTS UNDER GIRLS’ Education PROGRAM – Gupshup, 2024
ROOM TO READ India
PURPOSE of hiring AN AGENCY/ Consultant
About Room to Read:
Room to Read is a global organization transforming the lives of millions of children in low-income countries by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education. Founded in 2000 on the belief that World Change Starts with Educated Children®, our innovative model focuses on deep, systemic transformation within schools in low-income countries during two time periods which are most critical in a child’s schooling: early primary school for literacy acquisition and secondary school for girls’ education. We work in collaboration with local communities, partner organizations, and governments to develop literacy skills and a habit of reading among primary school children and ensure girls can complete secondary schools with the skills necessary to negotiate key life decisions. Room to Read has benefited 16.8 million children across 38,000 communities in Asia and Africa.
About the Program:
Girls’ Education Program supports adolescent girls in building their agency through the life skills they need, to succeed in school and beyond. We strive for a gender transformative approach in our work—in both design and delivery—that seeks to actively challenge harmful gender norms and address power disparities that contribute to gender inequality.
We believe that when girls have life skills, they can more effectively negotiate life decisions, including the decision to stay in school and break the stereotypes that impact their lives. These skills equip her to take charge, to effectively respond to life situations and identify best solutions along with a path to get there. As a result of the life skills training, they strengthen their agency to have short-medium-long term goals, make informed life choices and studied decisions.
We work with adolescent girls, their families, schools, and local communities to understand gender-specific challenges and devise relevant solutions. The GEP focuses on enabling adolescent girls empower themselves through life skills sessions, mentoring support, need-based material support and family, school, and community engagements.
In India, since 2004, the Girls Education Program (GEP) has supported 367584 (Global Indicator Report,2021) girls in negotiating their key life decisions across 8 states- Uttarakhand, Delhi, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh.
About the Assignment:
GupShup is a Hindi periodical for adolescent boys and girls in the ages of 11-18. It is an interactive reading material with an aim to foster and encourage reading as a habit and lifelong passion. It covers a range of topics from current affairs to sports, news, views, stories, historical facts, interesting anecdotes, health tips, great achievers and role models, and a section dedicated to contributions from children.
The Girls’ Education Program aims to publish 3 such periodicals (junior and senior versions) in a year. Although the GEP is a program specifically designed for girls, this periodical is designed for girls and boys both– their reading and engagement with the text.The junior version caters to boys and girls between 11-14 years and the senior version to that between 15-18 years.
