Schools of Equality is an activity-based programme that engages students, artists and people working for social justice to examine equality and effect change in society.
Individuals and social groups are divided and discriminated against on
the basis of various aspects of their identity including gender,
caste, class, race, sexuality, disability and nationality.
We are trying to eliminate social attitudes that perpetuate
gender-based violence and other forms of social injustice
Effecting change by
– Creating spaces for discussion and interaction between students, artists and people working for social justice
– Interrogating the concept of inequality and injustice in the context of different aspects of identity
– Creating awareness of rights granted in the Constitution, national and international law
– Teaching creative modes of expression and enabling students to take action in whatever form they choose
Multiplying our impact by
– Equipping students to be agents of change
– Using technology to build global conversations
– Encouraging them to build and foster communities of respect
Schools of Equality is an activity-based programme that engages students,
artists and people working for social justice to examine
equality and effect change in society.

Student from Chennai Higher Secondary School, Thiruvanmiyur
“It’s so nice to see the space you have created for them (the students) where they feel comfortable to speak.They’ve opened up and seem more confident in their own skin. For some of them, the transformation has been so positive that it is difficult to even recognize them anymore.”
