The Children Need Playgrounds
Samvad did a month long video workshop with slum children to build loyalty with their fellow slum residents, who paid a small fee for their children to participate. The children made a video demanding playgrounds in their areas, because playing in the streets get harrassed by adults or hurt in road accidents. The children took the video to the Collector who agreed to act on their request, which became a great lesson in civic engagement for the children and their families. The video is now being screened in schools throughout the city and the kids who participated describe it as one of the best things they have done.
