Towards Joyful Learning

(Khelghar methodology book)

We pursue the dream of Joyful learning of deprived children. 
We have tried to implement this concept in our learning centre called ‘Khelghar’.
We also wish to reach out to all the teachers and activists in the field of education by conducting workshops and close mentoring. From 2007 – 2017 we reached to 124 organisations and 1860 Teachers with the support of Tata Trusts. Learning Joyfully is the book we have written to help them implement this methodology with their children.
We published the first edition in Marathi of this book in 2015.
Till now we have published three editions of this book in Marathi.
We have also translated this book in Hindi and English with the support of Wipro Foundation. We are reaching to Wipro partner NGOs from all over India through the workshops.
We will like to present English edition of this book here for you.
Children understand the joy of learning, they want to learn; they are curious and want to explore the world around them. They relate new information to their own experiences and express spontaneously what they have grasped and felt. They enrich themselves and the surroundings through what they have comprehended.
How beautiful is this picture of the teaching- learning process! But far from reality! This book tries to explain how to bridge this gap; especially, how to help those who are excluded from the mainstream education.
It is based on years of work done by Palakneeti Pariwar’s Khelghar project and will definitely be useful to every person sensitive about the process of learning and teaching.
