Building for scale

The goal is to move from Shruti-led sessions to teacher-led implementation, so that one model can travel across schools and communities.

The scaling model

Solid steps are complete. Dashed steps are being developed or explored.

  1. Research
  2. Design
  3. Implementation
  4. Training
  5. Digital resources
  6. Educational networks
  7. Further evaluation

What began as a five-activity intervention is being developed into a format that can be shared, taught and replicated beyond the schools where Shruti has personally conducted sessions. The next phase moves from direct implementation to network-based delivery: equipping teachers with the resources and training to bring structured art-based wellbeing activities into their own classrooms.

Next steps

  1. Digitise

    Develop a digital version of the toolkit with activity instructions, supporting resources and implementation guidance.

  2. Train

    Create short teacher-training videos and resources so educators can conduct the activities independently.

  3. Expand

    Explore implementation through additional Swami Dayananda schools and AIM for Seva’s wider educational network, including Chatralayams.

  4. Evaluate

    Continue collecting data as the intervention reaches different schools, communities and age groups.
