2. ‘Disability, Diversity, & Inclusion’ trainings for adults and organizations

These orientations are participatory. We engage participants actively through a combination of audio-visual content, discussions, as well as group activities.
3. Workshops for change-makers and development/social work professionals
Nurturing a range of perspectives and skills through workshops and conversations on empathy, diversity, disability, use of stories, storytelling, dolls, and doll-making as a catalyst for change, and so on. We also offer online capsule workshops at regular intervals. “Empathy in Action” is one of the most popular workshops sought by NGOs for thier teams.
