EDUCATE. INCULCATE. MOTIVATE.
The motto of the Activity Centre speaks for itself. This wing of CSA is dedicated to the holistic development of children in project areas. It takes initiatives to educate the underprivileged and help them become empowered by imparting knowledge. The volunteers, over a course of time, become much more than just teachers; they are a friend, brother, sister and a mentor.
The wing is bustling with activities and new initiatives throughout the year. Currently, the ongoing events are Handful of Food (in collaboration with DHM) and Daily Teaching Sessions in the Vriddhi Project area of CSA. Volunteers attempt to provide fun activities and better learning for the kids Career Guidance, Nanban sessions, stationery drives, Buddy project, workshops, and carnivals for the children from project areas.
SENSITIZE. EMPOWER. SUSTAIN.
Prayatna is an environmental advocacy wing that focuses on climate action, sustainability, women's empowerment, animal welfare, and mental health. Prayatna is a wing where efforts are integrated with innovative ideas for a sustainable world and spread awareness on the fragility and protection of our environment, from planting trees to fostering sustainable practices. Volunteers in the wing are engaged in various activities like plantation drives, clean-up drives, sensitization campaign visits to shelters, interacting with our beloved Akkas, and various other campaigns to achieve the aims of Prayatna.
Prayatna is working closely with Parivarthana, the waste management unit of the university, to make the campus a ZERO-WASTE campus. Parivarthana, meaning CHANGE, was established in the year 2008 to engage in waste segregation, paper recycling, composting, water treatment, and biogas. Sensitization Week, Sustainability Week, and Saadhana are the few other major events organized by Prayatna every year to achieve its aims and contribute to the SDGs.
PERFORM TO REFORM
Naataka Naataka, the words that lie at the heart of the theater wing of CSA, Drishti. Drishti means vision and we as a wing stand for the vision of change. The wing chants and roams the streets to sensitize, impact and create awareness about different social issues. Art is the best form of expression and drishti as a team aim to provide a voice for change. We work closely to sow that seed of change in every individual that watches us on the streets. From street theatre to mime to musicals Drishti is about hearing the unheard voices.
Drishti is no acting, no scripts, no sets it’s all about changing mindsets. Drishti doesn't perform to win accolades but rather we perform to reform.
LEARN. EXPRESS. REFORM.
Media and Communications as a wing aims to sensitize people on numerous issues through media tools. Volunteers engage in photography, videography, writing and designing and bring out stories of the deprived communities to the public to create awareness. Social media is one of the main focuses of Media and Communications as it helps in reaching large audiences and connecting them to issues of the society. M&C also documents all the events that are organized in CSA to promote the organization’s work. Volunteers document each event by reporting, photography and videography.
The wing organizes various events such as Story Hunts, Peer learning, Training on Digital Tools, Abhivyakti, and Social Media Campaigns. An annual magazine called “We Care” is released each year on specific topics and themes.
Working to make the world a safer, cleaner and healthier place for everyone
DISHA is the pristine wing born in CSA Kengeri Campus. It is unlike any other wing of CSA, as it provides the volunteers to apply their classroom knowledge (of various disciplines) towards socially relevant problems.
These problems would be taken as projects with an ideal tenure of a semester. The projects can be of research or social nature. Through these projects, volunteers work for a better tomorrow.
