Oxfam Equality Clubs

Study Hall is providing an opportunity to the students to become democratic and politically conscious citizens by partnering with ‘Young Leaders for Active Citizenship’ and ‘Oxfam India’ to establish equality clubs for standard 6th to 12th. YLAC is an organization established by Harvard and Oxford alumni which along with Oxfam India (a global NGO) aims to create an equal and just society by empowering the underprivileged sections. They have chosen top schools all over India to enable students to develop social leadership skills and build empathy as they learn, discuss and implement actions to create a change through stimulating activities, role-plays, debates, competitions, campaigns and field trips where they learn from experts in fields of gender, economic and social equality. The opening ceremony was held on 3rdJuly ’2019, the club began with great fervour as students expressed views and engaged in activities like word association and dance and tell helping them to become aware of the prejudices existing in society. The principal, Mrs. Shalini Sinha further explained the students on how they are supposed to speak up in the face of inequality, the students left with sparks in their hearts and minds to stoke a greater fire of the fight against inequality.
