Volunteership at Sadhana
Volunteership at Sadhana
Initial Dialog Any expected volunteer must send a written note
of couple of pages on How would you like to describe yourself? Your
real interests etc... (CV isnt enough) Why you want to volunteer at
Sadhana? Time limit is essential, I agree with that, and can be
customized with every volunteer, based on initial dialog, may be
offer a week to explore and make final decisions.
What we expect At Sadhana School, we expect volunteers to
understand a list of things to engage more actively with their own
self and environment. For example nature of being/childness how a
child learns how learning takes place how our own learning and
environment shapes us nature of questions that Sadhana school wants
to address Means to understand are unlearning, questioning,
observation, participation, going through Sadhana material, seminar
videos, talking actively with mentors, teachers etc. Activities at
school Few research based enquiries must be taken up by the
volunteer in context of Sadhana School. Volunteer can decide based
on her/his interest. There is a possibility that volunteer may not
have skills for doing the same, in that case, simple data gathering
activity can be assigned around some of these ideas or volunteers
can work together. We can share a list of examples or they can
initiate some ideas. Few examples could be studying drawing
behaviors studying linguistic behaviors
how musicality or sounds translate in child's world what is the
meaning of space for a child impact of cameras/mobiles village v/s
urban environment in context of child redefining idea of waste etc.
nature of Sadhana curriculum etc.
Activities of craft-nature must be taken up by volunteers. S(he)
can offer to conduct the same in school space or can also learn one
or multiple activities in school space like farming, cooking,
tailoring, pottery, painting etc. If these activities are
considered as projects then there must be deliverables of some
significance. Nature of that deliverable, at least, should not just
be a written report or power point we can brainstorm on its
nature.. Aforementioned activities are expected from the volunteers
not as separate tasks. Any combination of any sort is possible; a
research theme can be approached through your engagement with the
craft or vice versa. This is great idea of learning local language
but school must offer to take responsibility of teaching the
language through whatever means and needs to be effective and time
bound.
