Commissioned by thinkequal.com • Written by Deshan Tennekoon
Some illustrations from the book "Gokul's Game": a story about a little boy in Nepal going to school for the first time. He suffers from a heart condition and has challenges to fit in and find his place. Luckily for him, his new school friends find a creative way to include him.
This is just one of the books published by the Think Equal organisation. Think Equal calls for a system change in education to end the discriminatory mind set and cycle of violence across our world. "We believe there is a missing subject in school curricula. We ask governments to adopt our curriculum and its tangible tools mediating all aspects of experiential social and emotional learning. We ask them to mandate this as a new subject onto the compulsory curriculum of world schools from the earliest years when, according to neuroscientists, the child is cognitively modifiable."
