Raising awareness among children about child rights, safety and sustainable development using art and other innovative methods

I am an active member of Tarikita Kalakammatta, a self-help organisation in our village. Through this, I am creating awareness among the children through my favourite Yakshagana art, song, and drama while giving information about sexual abuse of children on child rights under the "Putta Step - Bold Step" programme in schools and colleges in Bantwal and nearby villages.

And I bring together the teenagers of the community in a community programme called "Pingara Camp", a children's camp for children in my village during school holiday. In this workshop, I will have a session on how children can take small steps for sustainable development, how plastic is ruined for our planet through a play called Plastic Monster, what we can do for it e.g. how they can contribute their small share for sustainable development by using cloth bags instead of plastic. And I am serving as a facilitator in that camp.

ನಾನು ನಮ್ಮ ಊರಿನ ತರಿಕಿಟ ಕಲಾಕಮ್ಮಟ ಎಂಬ ಸ್ವ- ಸೇವಾ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸಕ್ರಿಯ ಸದಸ್ಯೆಯಾಗಿರುವೆ. ಅದರ ಮೂಲಕ ನಮ್ಮ ಊರಾದ ಬಂಟ್ವಾಳ ಹಾಗೂ ಅಸುಪಾಸಿನ ಹಳ್ಳಿಯ ಶಾಲಾ ಕಾಲೇಜುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ “ ಪುಟ್ಟ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆ- ದಿಟ್ಟ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆ” ಎಂಬ ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ರಮದಡಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಹಕ್ಕುಗಳ ಕುರಿತು ಮಾಡುವ ಕಾರ್ಯಾಗಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಮೇಲೆ ನಡೆಯುವ ಲೈಂಗಿಕ ದೌರ್ಜನ್ಯದ ಕುರಿತಾಗಿ ಮಾಹಿತಿ ನೀಡುವ ಸಂಧರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ ನನಗೆ ಇಷ್ಟವಾದ ಯಕ್ಷಗಾನ ಕಲೆ, ಹಾಡು, ಮತ್ತು ನಾಟಕದ ಮೂಲಕ ಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗೆ ಮನಮುಟ್ಟುವ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಜಾಗೃತಿ ನೀಡುವ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನು ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವೆ.
ಹಾಗೂ ನನ್ನ ಊರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗೆ ಶಾಲೆಗೆ ರಜೆ ಇರುವ ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾಡುವ ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಶಿಬಿರವಾದ “ ಪಿಂಗಾರ ಶಿಬಿರ “ ಎನ್ನುವ ಸಮುದಾಯ ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ರಮದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಮುದಾಯದ ಹದಿಹರೆಯದ ಯುವಜನರನ್ನು ಒಟ್ಟು ಸೇರಿಸುವುದು, ಮತ್ತು ಅವರು ಕಾರ್ಯಾಗಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಕ್ರಿಯವಾಗಿ ಪಾಲ್ಗೋಳುವಂತೆ ನೋಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತೇನೆ. ಈ ಕಾರ್ಯಾಗಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ಸುಸ್ಥಿರ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಗಾಗಿ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ಹೇಗೆ ಪುಟ್ಟ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆಗಳನ್ನು ಇಡಬಹುದು, ಎನ್ನುವ ಸೆಷನ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ಲಾಸಿಕ್‌ ರಾಕ್ಷಸ ಎನ್ನುವ ನಾಟಕದ ಮೂಲಕ ಪ್ಲಾಸ್ಟಿಕ್‌ ಹೇಗೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಭೂಮಿಗೆ ಹಾಳು, ಅದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ನಾವು ಏನು ಮಾಡಬಹುದು ಉದಾ: ಪ್ಲಾಸ್ಟಿಕ್‌ ಬದಲು ಬಟ್ಟೆ ಚೀಲಬಳಸುವ ಮೂಲಕ ಹೇಗೆ ಸುಸ್ಥಿರ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ದಿಗಾಗಿ ತಮ್ಮ ಪುಟ್ಟ ಪಾಲು ಹೇಗೆ ನೀಡಬಹುದು ಎನ್ನುವ ಕುರಿತು ಸೆಷನ್‌ ಮಾಡುತ್ತೇನೆ. ಹಾಗೂ ಆ ಶಿಬಿರದಲ್ಲಿ ಸುಗಮಕಾರಗಳಾಗಿ ಸೇವೆ ಸಲ್ಲಿಸುತ್ತಿರುತ್ತೇನೆ. ಒಟ್ಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನಾನು ಸಮಾಜದ ಒಳಿತಾಗಿ ಪುಟ್ಟ ಪುಟ್ಟ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆಯಿಡುತ್ತಾ ನನ್ನ ಅರಿವಿನ ವಿಸ್ತಾರವನ್ನು ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಸುತ್ತಿರುತ್ತೇನೆ.
