“Youth for community well-being" and Inclusion” is an initiative under the English Access Scholarship Program designed to advance youth leadership, civic responsibility, and experiential learning. As part of this project, Access students from Group 2 and Group 5 accompanied by their Language Instructors Ms. Haleema Sadia, Mr. Sohail Razzaq, and Teaching Assistant Ms. Umm-e-Ruman, conducted an educational visit to the pediatric ward of a DHQ hospital Mirpur AJ&K. During this engagement, students interacted with medical professionals, caregivers, and patients’ families to disseminate evidence-based information on child nutrition, balanced diets, and healthy feeding practices. This activity enhanced students’ content knowledge, communication skills, and service-learning competencies, aligning with Access program goals.
Students also visited the AKAB Blind School, where they engaged with visually impaired learners through collaborative and interactive activities. This visit strengthened students’ understanding of inclusive practices, disability awareness, empathy-building, and accessible communication strategies.
Through these structured community engagement tasks, Access scholars demonstrated improved 21st-century skills, including civic engagement, cross-cultural communication, leadership, and social awareness. The project enabled students to apply classroom learning in real-world contexts while promoting the values of inclusion, well-being, and community support—core priorities of the Access Program and RELO initiatives.
