CEDE Program

CEDE pro­gram or Child Edu­ca­tion, Devel­op­ment & Empow­er­ment, is Peepal Foundation’s attempt to re-instate val­ues, morals and infuse a whole new spir­it into young, impres­sion­able minds with a view to cre­at­ing con­fi­dent and respon­si­ble glob­al citizens.

After almost a year of prepa­ra­tion and plan­ning, the CEDE pro­gram was final­ly launched on 1st Aug, 2013, for 2nd and 3rd grade stu­dents, in 17 schools (16 PMC and 1 pri­vate school) across 5 zon­al areas with­in Pune city. The chil­dren in these schools come from the near­by slums and most of their par­ents are ‘dai­ly-wage’ work­ers.

CEDE Program

Child Education, Development and Empowerment

CEDE is planned as a 60 hrs. pro­gram to be inte­grat­ed with the school cur­ricu­lum aid­ed by the school author­i­ties as well as spe­cial­ly appoint­ed ‘change man­agers’ who coach the chil­dren dur­ing the week (MON-SAT).

Vol­un­teer dri­ven work­shops on Sat­ur­days, are meant for vol­un­teers to not only spend qual­i­ty time with the stu­dents but also impart knowl­edge through fun expe­ri­en­tial activities.

The inter­ven­tion com­pris­es of var­i­ous mod­ules which focus on enhanc­ing their com­mu­ni­ca­tion and Eng­lish lan­guage skills, con­fi­dence build­ing, pos­i­tive think­ing, voca­tion­al and career guid­ance, sports as well as vari­ety of art and cul­ture work­shops. In addi­tion to these mod­ules the inter­ven­tion aims at expe­ri­en­tial learn­ing using var­i­ous inter­ac­tive media such as activ­i­ties, role-plays, mind map and study techniques.

‘CEDE’ aims at holis­tic devel­op­ment of chil­dren by coach­ing them on a vari­ety of aspects and devel­op­ing their over­all per­son­al­i­ty by empow­er­ing them with knowl­edge and work life skills.

One of our major thrust areas is enabling teach­ers with the right tools and mod­ern teach­ing tech­niques through a vari­ety of ‘Teach­ers Train­ing’ workshops. 

In addi­tion to the above, the CEDE inter­ven­tion focus­es on reg­u­lar ‘Empow­er­ment Work­shops’ for par­ents, school author­i­ties and teach­ers as well as change man­agers and vol­un­teers who are impor­tant enablers in this devel­op­ment process.

Our change man­agers and vol­un­teers are essen­tial exter­nal chan­nels who help mould the per­son­al­i­ty of these chil­dren by expos­ing them to a vari­ety of fun learn­ing prac­tices and by teach­ing them to think out of the box. Our con­stant endeav­or is to empow­er chil­dren with ade­quate knowl­edge and skills so that they enter the real world with confidence.
