artists will conduct 12 full day workshops (two workshops per month) with 20 children (aged

12- 18). This teaching program is based on Artreach’s tried and tested art education modules

developed through the years. Apart from imparting skills in art, the aim of this workshop series

is to create a sense of emotional well-being, confidence and happiness through creative

engagement.

Residential Support project conducted activities to sensitize children about the Girl Child. For

children above twelve years of age, an essay competition was organized, while the younger

batch became a part of a healthy discussion which revolved around the opportunities that a girl

can avail in her lifetime; the project decided to emphasize on teaching boys about the ways in

which they should respect the girls. Ninety-seven children were a part of this session.
