The Tehelka Foundation, in collaboration with the NCPCR and UNICEF organized a three-day seminal on the Right to Education and Abolition of Child Labour at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi from 10th to 12 December, 2008. The seminar, which witnessed participation from over 50 NGOs across the country, deliberated on the structure and content of the proposed bill on Right to Education.
Part of the learning from "The Summit
of the Powerless" has been recognition of the vital
need to bridge the gap between Urban and Rural India,
especially as far as our youth is concerned.
A three day youth convention at Bluebells School International on 28 - 30 January 2008, brought together students from 13 different schools, to share their ideas on the theme "Learning to Live Together". The Foundation coordinated sessions on Communalism, Environment and the Right to Information Act, over these three days.
An Action Plan presented by each school at the end of the Convention, will be followed up by the Tehelka Foundation.
