The UN Student volunteers

The UN Student volunteers

Mr. Azeez UNV:
We soon install UN student volunteers in schools across India. I am connecting HRD and UNO for the approval. Soon it comes true.

Could you please suggest some Activities related to student Volunteers?

Answers:

• Mr. Alok UNV:A we must empower our students to develop a learning mind. That means they need to be alive, awakened, questioning, aware and adventurous. They need to establish harmony between body, emotions and mind. They need to grow recognising their deepest calling of their Being. This can be done by providing activities which can be decided by interactive with them.

• Mrs. Asha Mittal UNV: Yea very true!
If we take their ideas and incorporate them, if possible, we can do justice to the job!

• Dr. Jacqueline Mahadik UNV:
Teach computer skills at your local library or senior center.

1. Tutor at a community center, your high school, or another school in your area.

2. Volunteer at an animal shelter.

3. Volunteer at a local daycare.

4. Help out at a children’s reading group at your library.

5. Run social media for a nonprofit.

6. Help out at an after school program

• Mr Alok MOHANTY UNV:
I think and feel true empowerment comes to anyone when we come face to face with ourselves and with the paradigm that governs us. This need to be done through deeper reflection without dividing life into likes, dislikes, good, bad right, wrong etc. True empowerment is going beyond the paradigm and remain engaged to redefine the paradigm so that life gets transformed. As long as we are inside the matrix we are going to feel helpless.

• Mrs. Suman‪ Das UNV:
I would suggest the following activities for students volunteers:

1. Adult tech-literacy drive
2. Programme to sensitize people to vote to the right candidate
3. Village adoption & its upliftment
4. My buddy programme - each one to teach a child in need
5. Run health education volunteering programme
6. Run a sports club for underprivileged children
7. Rain water harvesting programme
8. Sanitation drive - build toilets separate for women

Why Schools should create social responsibility to drive change?

Why Schools should create social responsibility to drive change? A school plays a vital role in the child’s development. Children get their formal education in a school. Schools need to promote the education which is meaningful and has to be fit into the framework of the society. Today’s children will grow up and become future adults of our society.

As the children spend most of the time in school, hence schools must promote the activities to sensitize children towards social responsibility to bring positive change in the soci...

The classroom technology trends are changing so swiftly and speedily that the teachers and educators have to keep themselves equipped to meet the expectations of a diverse classroom for optimum learning. 21st century Gen Z is born with technology in hand, that’s why these children are known as “Digital Natives”.
