School Contact Program, launched as part of the ‘Learn Without Fear’ campaign, is designed to highlight the negative impact of violence on children and the importance of treating children with dignity and respect in schools. The main objective of the school contact programme is to reach out to the campaign stakeholders, in this case, students, teachers and school administration. The campaign is designed for the government schools, which are reported as high incidence areas with a large vulnerable target group. The campaign reached 50 schools of Delhi in the first phase. Last year 63,000 students studying in Government school in Delhi were reached through this exercise.

The program has few components; chief among them is a direct reach out exercise in the form of a participatory presentation with the message of violence free school.

This engagement is devised through an interesting play. After the play presentation participants are exhorted to write their feed back on the sheet provided as collateral. An interesting take away of the message of violence free school is given in the form of a bookmark to each of the participants.

This year the campaign is going to reach out to three states namely- Delhi, U.P. and Uttarakhand. In all the campaign will reach out to 150 schools and around one Lakh students.

“Learn Without Fear” campaign wants to not only impress upon the need of having violence free school, it would like to explore the provisions of the recently passed Right to Education act for having child friendly schools and the impact of positive discipline.
