Desh Apnayen's Citizenship Club
Desh Apnayen encourages all partner schools to start a Desh Apnayen Citizenship Club(DACC) in their schools.
The activities suggested in Desh Apnayen Citizenship Club further cement the Citizenship Education syllabus based content delivered to schools.
Desh Apnayen Citizenship Club aims to provide life-learning opportunities for our youth which will significantly influence and benefit their development as committed Indian citizens. Participation in Desh Apnayen Citizenship Club program develops leadership skills, exposes students to the various citizenship ideals that the country values and provides some very positive mentoring.
The purpose of the club is:
The central focus of Desh Apnayen clubs is to expose the young people to increase their global awareness, principles and importance of democracy, heighten their appreciation of diversity and enlarge their capacity to work and contribute in an increasingly interconnected world.
Schools are encouraged to conduct activities similar to the ones described below under the auspices of Desh Apnayen Citizenship Club:
Desh Apnayen provides a detailed framework, guidelines and handouts for conducting similar engaging and inspiring activities, themes and topics that can be possibly explored by the schools. Instructional guidelines and relevant links to the audio - video topics, directions to carry out the art, simulations, quizzes, debates, word craft and role plays on civics topics/concept of citizenship education/values of democracy and citizenship education program are provided by Desh Apnayen.
Participating schools have the flexibility to use these resources and administer it at their discretion. Participating schools can conduct these activities in their premises as per their schedule and with their own staff. This allows each school to participate in Desh Apnayen’s movement at their own pace.
Desh Apnayen Citizen Clubs in all schools will be threaded together in a common social media framework. This provides a vibrant platform to establish a community of like-minded teachers as well as students. Sharing of best practices and showcasing of achievements are encouraged and suitably rewarded.
