What we are today is a result of experience since 2006 – working and(playing) with more than 12000+ kids across India. It started with a few, but now we are dedicated group of travelers, artists, writers, photographers, doctors, and above all enthusiasts, coming together from diverse backgrounds, keenly interested in working on child development through experiential education. The team constantly invites like-minded people willing to break free from the monotony of life and dive in on unknown paths of discovering self and places. We aim to become an approachable and an encouraging platform for all those who love to experiment, express, learn, research, travel, share and most importantly have fun!!
Every individual, be it a child or a grown up, has a curious side to him/her. A side that wants to know, understand, experience – to learn! But learning, the way it happens these days, often results in curbing of that innate human curiosity, and in the inhibiting of human skill and growth.
The way out according to us, is in creating interesting and meaningful experiences – that get us so highly involved, that learning almost becomes and automatic and an effortless by-product. Such learning , which happens through interesting and joyful experiences not only make us more skilful and capable as individuals, but also enables us to discover different facets of our own personality, making us more complete as individuals
We wish to create safe spaces for kids, where enriching experiences enable them to push their comfort zones, take charge of their lives, and embark on a journey of self discovery.
We believe, we as humans have a special connection with the great outdoors. Driven by our own passions, Kshitij is trying to grow a movement to reconnect today’s kids with the outdoors. Today most children live in a totally artificial environment, full of screens and ever evolving technology, which leaves them with almost zero excitement of leaving the comfort of their homes and spending time outside. It’s intriguing to watch what happens when kids are left to their own devices with a dose of unstructured outside playtime. There’s something ingrained in our DNA, something seared into our psyche that triggers a primal sense of harmony when we escape four walls and venture into the great outdoors. When you go out in the woods you feel good. You play. You discover. You feel peaceful. We at Kshitij are trying to harness these “feel good” factors as baits for bringing about an awareness of one’s own self, independency and curiosity at large, which form the basis of a strong development. We do by using Fundamentals of Experiential Education and Science of Play!
Our endeavors are fuelled by the youthful energy of our core team - Coming from diverse backgrounds, one common element that binds us – our fondness for working on child development, And we do so by using fundamentals of ‘Experiential Education’ & the Science of Play With the purpose of enabling children take charge of their own lives.
