St Anne's Girls High School, Halasuru Module 2 - Co-Creation

Summary

Rapport building and reaffirming our identity and establishing what we do in our work is important to build the connection between facilitator and Kishoris. In this module the way we work is facilitated by co-creating a story using a set of 6 pictures. The group activity will also enable Kishoris to interact with each other and know each other better. It will also give them a chance to work in a cohesive group.

Facilitator: Shreyas

Co-facilitators: Anusha, Aparna, Karthik

Assumptions

1. There are student cliques– their dynamics and whether they will be willing to work with other cliques should be understood.
2. All the Kishoris are not yet confident enough to participate.
3. Module will be conducted in English.
4. All the classes have CCTV cameras, so the Kishoris and the facilitators will be conscious.
5. There are some naughty Kishoris who keep asking smart-alecky questions.
6. In the previous session, Kishoris have asked, “How do we benefit from this?” and also “How do you benefit from this?”, this might be due to them exposed to other NGOs working with them.

Objectives

1. Effectively clarify Kishoris’ questions from previous session regarding IT for Change/ Facilitators and H2HD
2. Enthuse Kishoris towards the principles that operate on the design of H2HD– participatory ownership building learning processes, co-creation, content driving technologies, autonomy of thought and so on.

Process

Greet Kishoris.

Answer the questions that were asked in the previous session. We go and say hi again. Their 3 questions are,

1. How do you benefit from this?
2. How do we benefit from this?
3. What do we have to do?

How do you benefit from this? (H2HD)

Our answer:

We have been working with adolescent girls both in rural and urban areas. Over the years, we have seen that adolescence is a crucial age where majority of life altering things are decided. We have seen over the years that autonomy and power over such decisions are not with adolescent girls but with parents or elders at home. We would love to build a dialogue around these issues using various tools and methodologies.

How do we benefit from this? (St. Anne’s Kishoris)

Our answer:

1. As many shared last week that you are happy to be with us, we will be with you every _____day for another year.
2. We will become friends.
3. All of you will become closer and know more about each other
4. We might together go for an outing.
5. Not all of you talked last time, all of you will build confidence to speak without hesitation inside and outside School.
6. Through this programme you will be able to build on your strengths so that it can favourably help you in future.

What do we (Kishoris) have to do?

Trust us and participate equally in co-creating.
