Meet Ginny on Ginny’s planet

Ginny is a four year old girl who loves to explore, plays football, loves the rain, and many other things. She has nine fingers, a radial club hand and wears spectacles. Nobody feels like an odd-one-out on her Planet- Ginny’s Planet!

Ginny doll is the best gifts for children to introduce empathy, Diversity and Disability.
Ginny puppets are a great choice for winter gifts to tell stories.
Why A Day on Ginny’s Planet?

It is an inclusive and judgement-free space open to people of all ages and where children and adults participate as equals in specially curated sessions. You could say it is a glimpse of what Ginny’s world would ideally look like!

Like Dance? We’ve got you covered. Like creating things from scratch? We have DIY sessions just for you. Want to lead a minimalistic and mindful life? Our experts (a.k.a. resource persons) will give you the most effective tips to do so! And what’s more? The event has got a lot more awesomeness to offer that we just can’t list down in this limited space!

Who can attend?

Welcome one, welcome all!

When we say it is an inclusive space and there is something for everyone, we truly mean it! Any individual who is 4 years old and above can participate. Race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity etc. – NO BAR!

P.S: For children below 8 we do suggest an adult to accompany the child for a better experience.

Feedback from Previous Participants

Adeela, 18 yr old, Edition 1-A Day on Ginny's Planet Session: Minimalism-By Kanika Kush

I learnt a lot about the lifestyle that I plan to pursue in life.

14 yr old Participant, Edition 3-A Day on Ginny's Planet Session: Being Different is Okay, by Dr. Shweta Verma

I like the best about the session: Being different is okay

for everyone and for yourself.

Sangeeta, 57 yr old, Edition 1-A Day on Ginny's Planet Session: Practicing Empathy, by Dr. Shweta Verma

Practicing Empathy : stating an abstract concept in concrete terms and without moralising was educative for me!

26 yr old Participant, Edition 4-A Day on Ginny's Planet Session: I am ME. You are YOU. Mindfulness, by Dr. Jyotika Taneja

‘I am beautiful the way I am’ ….I think I was finally able to understand it in a much better way through this session.

11 yr old Participant, Edition 3-A Day on Ginny's Planet Session: Thumbs Can Paint, By Rishab & Mubin, (Pragati/BGCT)

Rishabh did a really great job & showed such lovely & easy drawings to be done with thumb. Mubin, you are an excellent coach!

Ginny's planet is building a world where being different is okay through Empathy, Diversity related products and workshops.
