SEWA (Social Empowerment through Work Education and Action)

SEWA (Social Empowerment through Work Education and Action) an endeavor by CBSE is a program that

aims to focus on the mental, emotional and social health of a student.

The main objective of SEWA projects is to direct children’s mind in constructive activities with positive

outcomes through the facilitation of creative and critical thinking. This would help them to develop self-

confidence and self-esteem.

Another objective of this programme is to underline the significance of the interdependence of all human

beings and our dependence on the environment in this shrinking global village. Students must acknowledge

that they have a responsibility towards the less privileged, the disadvantaged, the CWSN (Divyang), the

society, and the environment. The principle of giving to society has to become second nature to them.

Keeping these objectives in mind, SEWA project 1 and SEWA project 2 have been designed for preparing

students to be active global citizens that enhance the quality of life both for others and for themselves.

Instructions

Prepare an A-4 size folder using biodegradable ,eco friendly material.

Both the project to be presented on A-4 size ruled sheets and organized in the folder neatly.

A self appraisal form,given at the end of this holiday homework is to be attached at the end

of each project.

SEWA Project - 1

Dignity of Labour

Project Focus – Empathy and Compassion

Target Point- As individuals we should encourage students to respect all jobs and understand the value and dignity

of work. Sweepers, shoe makers, laborers and launderers contribute to comfortable living. We should respect people

for their perseverance, hard work and effort. If we have to accord dignity to labour, social services must be

commended and community has to be sensitive to individuals and learn to understand and respect them.

Key Objectives:

Students will:

● understand the value of toil. ● understand the importance of different occupations in our social system – such as, ice-cream lorry, balloon man, chai stall, kite seller, bangle seller, knife sharpener, food lorry, etc.

● learn to respect people from different vocations of life.

● understand and value of Human Rights. ● be empathetic and compassionate. ● respect people despite nature of work involved in their vocations. ● instill love for labour.

Procedure

Get into regular interactions with two different community helpers(Ice cream seller , domestic

help , cobbler ,sweeper , driver etc) and discuss their problems and threats.

Make a list of the issues that matters to them and how improvement in their work conditions may

be brought about them.

SEWA Project - 2

Environment Conscious Citizens: Connecting with Nature

Project Focus

This is a leadership building exercise and will help the students to become a thinking and environmentally

conscious individual. It is a journey of self-evaluation and personal and professional growth.

Key Objective –

Our world is changing, and changing fast. Our environment is pressured due to overexploitation of our finite

natural resources, climate change, and rapidly changing economic and social situations. This is leading to us

leaving behind a complicated and difficult mess for our future generations to deal with. Unless the young

generation does not build an appreciation for nature and see value in its preservation, we will continue to

deplete our natural resources, causing irreparable damage to our planet.

Procedure

Go on a walk in a park /garden/forest nearby area. Choose a time when there is likelihood of

minimum disturbance.

Sit down on green grass and compose yourself.

Take deep breath and feel the air around you (warm/cool)

Visit regularly and observe different kind of trees that grow in that area.

Compare their size, kinds of leaves, flowers, seeds, bark ,canopy etc.

Observe different kinds of birds, insects any other animal that you see on the walk.

Choose a plant and observe it closely to find some additional information about the tree such

as flowers, fruits, bark, trunk, any special adaptation, size, kind of soil it grows on etc.

Find out the name of the tree, its importance in nature and for humans.

Documentation

Design a portfolio for the tree on A-4 size sheets and present it in an innovative manner. You may

draw or paste relevant pictures or dried plant parts to edify the portfolio .Prepare the portfolio

using the following pointers :
