Why This Project Matters? (June 2026 Cohort)
Across 165+ villages in India, social workers travel from community to community helping children understand important topics like cyberbullying, child safety, emotional wellbeing, and child rights. ​It is deeply meaningful work but not easy work.
Today, many social workers still carry printed posters and paper material from village to village. Children often have to rely on imagination to understand the lessons being shared.
​​Recently, a corporation sponsored 100 tablets for these social workers through Center for Social Action (CSA). But much of the material has not yet been adapted into engaging digital content or engaging format.
​That is where this project begins. ​Students in Beyond Boundaries will help transform existing material into more child-friendly stories, visuals, and digital experiences using creativity and AI tools. ​This is more than a content project. ​​It is an opportunity to help children feel seen, valued, and hopeful, while making the work of social workers just a little easier.
Partner NGO - Why We Are Partnering With Center for Social Action (CSA) ?
Beyond Boundaries is being implemented in collaboration with the Center for Social Action (CSA), Mumbai, an organization supporting vulnerable communities across 165+ villages through education, child development, and social initiatives.
​
CSA recently secured funding for 100 tablets to help social workers engage children in more interactive and meaningful ways. However, much of the existing material still needs to be adapted into child-friendly digital content.
​
We saw an opportunity where a relatively small creative effort could create meaningful impact.
By helping transform existing material into engaging stories, visuals, and digital experiences, students can help reduce the burden on social workers while making learning more hopeful and accessible for children.
​
CSA’s deep on-ground experience and trusted community relationships help ensure that the work students create is relevant, culturally sensitive, and impactful.
