Adira is an initiative by IGDTUW students to bring a change in the society - towards positivity - by doing its part to achieve some sustainable development goals (SDGs). We identify the need for a new approach to gender equality - one that 'ensures access to, and empowerment through, quality education, irrespective of gender or age. Our team focuses on Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality education), Sustainable Development Goal 5 (Gender Equality) and Sustainable Development Goal 10(Reduced Inequalities
Our "Sab Padhenge Aage Badhenge" campaign aims at spreading awareness about the need of education for all. Education is our birth right and we believe that everyone shouldve access to it.. In this issue, the different initiatives taken by the team to address the problem and their impact have been described.
Some of the Successful Events:
1. Street Art: Chalk Graffiti
ADIRA organized an event: "Chalk Graffiti" at Taarangana '22, the Annual Cultural fest of IGDTUW, to raise awareness for the sustainable goals they advocate: Gender Equality, Quality Education and Reduced Inequalities.
During the event, all interested onlookers were encouraged to express their thoughts using chalk, with the roads as a blank canvas, filled with ideas and thoughts of the students.
The team members set the ball rolling by illustrating their ideas on the roads. This inspired students from IGDTUW and other universities, as well as faculty and known "influencers" and YouTubers to join and become a part of this awareness campaign.
Throughout the event, the members, including the President and the General Secretary, made the passersby aware of the campaign: "Sab Padhenge Aage Badhenge" and their work with SDGs 4, 5 and 10.
