Very thought provoking Ruchi! I agree with so much of what you wrote and worry that we aren’t doing enough to create these spaces of meaningful dialogue. Where these communities emerge, it is often a struggle to balance individual and group aspirations, and to sustain movements in the face of entrenched and disproportional power. But these are exactly the struggles we mustn’t shy away from.
Thank you. We believe every word in the post is valuable and are delighted to see a reflection of our belief in YES - an engaging society. Our work at the Good Schools Alliance focuses on working with young to help community engagement.
Getting involved in community activities is an incredible way for students to boost their confidence and broaden their horizons. These experiences build vital connections and knowledge, empowering them to pursue their interests passionately after school. With the support of dedicated teachers, students can truly thrive, maximizing the benefits of both school and extracurricular activities. This holistic approach shapes their journey into a fulfilling adult life.
