Pawan Pagaria
There is no one way of approaching design in education and Pawan Pagaria has had his fair share of experiments with an attempt to make it work. Frameworks, workshops, games, textbooks, he has tried it all. In this contribution, we ask him to share how he applies design to crack design in education and how far he has come.
Kiran Bir Sethi
What does it take to ‘design’ a school, curriculum, business and society? We take a look at the journey of designer and educator Kiran Bir Sethi and understand her position on design in education and the impetus for founding initiatives like Design for Change. Her journey, with design as a primary vehicle, across expanding domains of creative practice helps us understand design as a social project. This piece also looks at how and why design permeates into the day-to-day of The Riverside School she set up in Ahmedabad and what her advice is for schools that want to facilitate design in education.
Kriti Sood has pioneered what it means to co-develop a curriculum with teachers. In this piece we invite her to share her experiences doing the same in different settings. As a curator, she has a knack for pairing experts with different backgrounds to create something new. Her approach to design in education is boutique and mindful, and we hope this contribution will show our readers how small things can lead to a big impact.
Nabanita Deshmukh
Arati Biswas, an NGO worker, embarks on a journey across India to uncover how teachers manage stress and seek peace in their daily lives. She meets inspiring educators like Gangamani, who uses soothing audio stories to calm her class, and Kumar, who learns to “compartmentalize” his personal struggles. As Arati learns from each teacher, she discovers that the path to calmness is unique but vital for effective teaching. Read Nabanita’s piece on lessons to find peace in your own classroom or workplace.
Sujata Noronha
Sujata Noronha writes that biological, sociological, and cultural views shape our approach like age-based book categories or even global differences in school starting ages. Understanding aspects like these can lead to more effective and inclusive library practices for children.
