Jagriti – UnParenting, UnLearning

jagriti for unlimited parenting, children and their facilitation

Jagriti started in 2002 and has reached more than 2600 parents and teachers, who are genuinely interested in opening themselves up to the world of possibilities – for children!

Facilitating is not about some tricks or techniques or strategies
It is about deeply understanding the child and her learning and development
Providing a relationship so that child blossoms into the unique human that he or she is!
Recognizing the self-led-leader in each child and what roles we can play to nourish her.

Jagriti’s 63rd batch starts on 24th Jan 2025 with 11 sessions conducted on zoom twice a week (Tue & Fri), evening (8pm to 10pm IST) – so that we can accommodate working, as well as non-working parents/teachers.

FAQs about Jagriti Program

While Jagriti is relevant to all parents – its even more important for parents who do not want to follow the conventional education system.
The depth of Jagriti helps parents to understand the child and how they can approach the child as an independent and responsible individual who can lead his or her learning and living journey

Having worked with thousands of children of all ages – there is one thing that we have learned. Each child at different age is begging to – Be Understood
– Respected for the responsibility he or she can take of self
– Empowered for loads of capabilities that he/she already has
– and so on
the list is long and does not change with age or whether the child goes to school or not, etc.

₹15,000 is the indicated contribution per person / couple 
Jagriti works on AKSD (as explained above).
So you can at the time of registration
– Contribute the above indicated amount now (you can always contribute more later or even ask for a refund or carry over to future batches – anything goes)
– If you find that your commitment to the program is more when you pay upfront – you can contribute a token amount now now and pay more later.
– If you prefer (and commit to) contribute later – that is also fine – register without paying anything now. Ensure that are fully engaged in the program to get the most value.
– Any which way please note Jagriti is not FREE – just that we will accept whatever value you put on what you receive.

Remember we do not want any parent, teacher or educator to not attend the program because of financial constraints – so you can always contribute in installments to us – there are people who have contributed monthly over a span for few years.
If you still have questions on AKSD do get in touch with us (WhatsApp on 72040-66694)

Payment options would be available in the registration form

63rd batch starts Friday, 24th January 2025
The following key areas will be explored (sessions twice a week)
(note these keywords used below can be very misleading – as our explorations will take in many directions)

  1. UnLearning
  2. Empowerment
  3. Feelings
  4. Self Esteem
  5. Habits of Mind
  6. Behaviour & Respect
  7. Potential
  8. Possibilities
  9. Facilitating
  10. Reflecting
  11. Sexuality and Sexual Abuse

The ten sessions are highly interactive with loads of activities, role plays, anecdotes, stories and case-situations – across all age groups, including examples from classrooms.
The WhatsApp group is equally important – participants are expected to flame the discussions with questions, thoughts and loads of anecdotes with their children.
We share a daily bite on the group to expand or deepen the scope of each topic we’re exploring.
Expect more than you can chew, Munch more than you can digest, Explore more than what you have seen!

  • Definitely – all session recordings are saved in a YouTube playlist – even for future reference.
  • However, TRY NOT TO MISS a session – since it’s twice a week and that too online – with a little adjustment, we’re sure you can somehow attend – try to make some arrangement – attending the session live is most fun and most informative.
  • Jagriti is based on collaborative learning – and much learning happens because every participant shares their learning with each other. Call your peers and discuss the whole session with them. If in the same city, meet to discuss the session over a cup of coffee.
  • Ask lots of questions in Jagriti’s WhatsApp group and go through the reading materials shared, do all the experiments we share etc. This would cover a lot of the session too.
  • You can also attend the same session with the next batch. Once you sign up for a batch of Jagriti then you can re-attend any session any time with any batch! There are no charges for you to re-attend.

Simply put – the more effort you put in, the more you get out of the program. Typically every session will give you “food for thought” through various experiences, explorations, experiments that you can take up with your children at home. However, remember each of these are “open” and “optional” but “strongly recommended” and it purely depends on you how much time and effort you want to put in. The more the merrier:)

As of now, this is the slot (8pm to 10pm IST) we have for Jagriti – keeping all our commitments with children at Aarohi in mind.
We request you to discuss with your family and empower your children to support you in attending during this time slot. It’s only twice a week (Tuesdays and Fridays), that too for just five weeks.

No, we do NOT give a ‘certificate’. Please realize that the focus of the program is not the certificate – but to give you a deep understanding and comprehensive learning. Please join the program for its intrinsic value.
However, for some professional purpose if you need a letter of completion of this program – we can do so via a letter issued by Aarohi Trust. Note, we are not affiliated to any other university or organization.

You can definitely intern with Aarohi.
Anyways, to do so, first you have to join our Saturday online meetup on open learning, and then come and stay (min one week) at our campus and experience the life with Aarohi community. Then if you are interested in INTERNING with Aarohi and being part of the community – we can discuss the nature of the same.
