MELJOL Programme:

The Aflatoun Programme: This programme is implemented by the teachers (trained by MELJOL) with the help of the Aflatoun books series created by MELJOL. The programme works towards enhancing the self-esteem of children in local government/zilla parishad schools/ashram schools to make them confident to be active participants in affecting their immediate environment. In this programme, children are encouraged to form school level councils to encourage their active participation in bringing about desired changs in their environment. The programme focuses on:

Sesitising the children to one another and to their environment.

Developing the confidence into children to take positive steps towards bringing about a chage in their environment.

Helping them to identify issues of concern and working towards positively changing their environment.

MELJOL considers teachers as resource people and partners in achieving its goal of Child Rights Education for all. Teachers are thus trained to impart rights education and to create and strengthen the process, which allow for the participation of children at the school and community levels. This strategy has enabled the organisation to reach out to many more children and to create an awareness within the system on the need for the inclusion of rights education in the curriculum.

The Replication of MelJol Aflatoun Programme in the State of Maharashtra: The Aflatoun Programme has been initiated in the Thane district in the academic year 1998-99, considering the positive response from teachers, children and authorities in the field of education, MELJOL planed to expand its Aflatoun School Programme in a phased manner to all the districts in the state of Maharashtra. By the academic year 2004-05 the programme has been replicated in the Chandrapur, Yawatmal Osmanbad, Nanded and Kolhpur districts. The programme has been replicated in collaboration with local NGO's and with active involvement of education departments and DIET's (District Institutes of Educational Training). The programme focuses on:

Developing and providing relevant material for all the partners in the programme.

Training of trainers, cluster co-ordinators, DIET personnel, NGO representatives.

Liasaning and Net-working with all the partners to fcilitate implementation of the programme at school levels.

The Twinning Programme: This programme fouses on getting children from two different backgrounds to interact with each other (private schools, governmet schools, special schools, street children etc.) to address prejudices and respect the differences and, at the same time, to make them aware of the possibility of transcending these boundaries.
