The Inspire Passion Project

The Inspire Passion Project The Inspire Passion Project is a collaborative initiative presented by Teach For India, The Akanksha Foundation and Sophia College for Women, Mumbai. A Dancer.

25 children from a slum in Mumbai.

2 Teachers. 5 Actors. A Musician. A Director. A Play. A diverse group of talented college students, and a selection of young children from an underprivileged school in Mumbai, come together to create a unique Mentorship programme. The latter are given intensive training in a variety of disciplines, a first-hand look at what it’s like to go to college, and a chance to explore the latent talents and passions within themselves. The former are taught, sometimes jolted, out of their comfort zones, challenged like never before, given an experience, a chance to craft a friendship as lasting and as deep as only bonds with children can be. This, is The Inspire Passion Project. Conceived by Teach for India fellow Nalika Braganza, while working at an Akanksha school in Mumbai, The Inspire Passion Project in its first phase uses this Mentorship programme to forge an unusual children’s production of Mahesh Dattani’s Sahitya Akademi award-winning play, ‘Final Solutions’. Over the course of two months, a select group of students and children work together through the processes of interpretation, speech and voice training, dance classes, music sessions and rigorous rehearsal to present a play. Later phases of the project envision resolutions as diverse as robotics camps, art displays or music concerts. The common thread that unites this multitude of disciplines is passion, commitment to the project, and a willingness to learn. The Inspire Passion Team 2013-2014:
