Non-Conventional options for Teenagers

Aarohi Learning Carnival

Hi Rashmi Virendra

Many teenagers do not enjoy studies or the prescribed subjects or giving exams, etc.

We need to show to the youth that colleges, degrees and certificates are not the only way to build a successful professional life.

This system of exams and marks and studies suits some children and it's good for them. Let them celebrate their academic achievements.

For the rest of us, who do not do well in exams or are not interested in studies - we can eschew colleges and jump directly into doing work in the domains that interest us and learn by doing actual industry work.

Aarohi has initiated CoVersity (for 13-21 years old youth) wherein youth get together in a cohort to support each other. Each deep dives into a domain of his or her choice and does actual industry work that they enjoy doing. They develop skill sets required by that industry, since they are interacting and working with mentors and experts from the industry.
 If after 6-12 months they realise that they are no longer enjoying this domain - they switch to another domain and so on till they discover which domain they truly enjoy.
All along building their portfolio which makes them work certified. This helps them eventually to either get a job or get into freelancing or entrepreneurship. 
There is no pre qualification required to enter Coversity, nor any exams to give, actually nothing to prove to the world - since the work one does the talking. Youth automatically become industry ready in a few years.

We want such coversity to mushroom all over the country inviting youth to design their own professional journey.
Mantra is simple - instead of learning to earn, let's #EarntoLearn

Please share this option of youth doing their professional journey with every youth. Interested youth and parents can visit the coversity website and also interact with us on zoom every Wednesday at 7pm.  or reach out on whatsapp to 72040-66694 for a 1:1 discussion

On Zoom, today, 20th Dec, Wednesday, 7pm IST

​Aarohi is an Open Learning Community for learners of all ages: Open to all kinds of interests, abilities, styles and content areas.

I Don't like TRUST

Dear Mummy and Papa Trust is such a big problem. I don't like it. Please do not trust me. When you say you trust me, this puts pressure on me. I don't like trust. You say you trust that I will keep my word. But many times I am not able to. Sometimes because I gave that promise because you wanted me to (and I didn't really want to) - like the promise of not eating that chocolate before dinner. Then you said that I had broken your trust. I don't like trust. You say you trust that I will not tell lies. But many times, when I'm simply scared to get a scolding, I tell lies. I was scared when I did not complete the project so I told that my teacher liked my work. Then you saw my diary and teacher's note and you said that I had broken your trust. I don't like trust. You say you trust that I will live up to your expectations. But the other day when i was teasing my friend badly, you said I had broken your trust because I did not behave properly while you expected me...

[Jagriti] Who is RESPONSIBLE ??

Excerpt from a book by OSHO - Rajneesh (Autobiography of a spiritually incorrect mystic ) The wise man wants you only to have insight into things so that you have your own light. But you don't want insight, you want clear-cut instructions. You don't want to see yourself, you want to be guided. You don't want to accept your responsibility towards yourself; you want to throw the whole responsibility on the shoulders of the master, on the shoulders of the wise man. Then you feel at ease. Now he is responsible; if something goes wrong, he is responsible. And everything is going to be wrong, because unless you take your responsibility nothing is ever going to be right. Nobody can put you right except you yourself. A real religious person is born the moment you accept your responsibility for yourself, the moment you say, "Whatsoever I am is my choice—not of the past but of the present. It is my choice of this moment, and if I want to change it I am absolutely free to change ...

Observing is Learning.

A man who wants to learn ZEN gets redirected to a small tea shop that an elderly lady runs. He goes and asks her, "Can you teach me Zen?" The elderly lady, in response, SLAPS him hard. Shocked, the man runs aways only to come back the next day, disguised, just to find out why she slapped him. He quietly sits in one corner of her shop, afraid that he may get slapped again. As he sits there, he observes . He observes how she makes the tea, how she serves her customers and how her whole shop is and he observes every little detail about this lady and her tea shop and thereby he learns  ZEN. When somebody tells us that he or she wants to learn about children or how to facilitate them, we recommend three things you must do and those are: Observe  Observe     Observe   Most of what we have learned about children has actually come about because we observed and are still observing and learning. Which is why when people want to learn from us, we gently, but firmly turn them to learn fr...
