ABOUT
ELICIT is a section 8 company dedicated to designing education in response to the impacts of armed Conflict on psycho-social and academic systems, in spaces enduring territorial/cultural/political disputes. ELICIT currently functions in 3 districts of Jammu and Kashmir through Teach to ELICIT, the teaching fellowships programme in schools, which focuses on well-being in classroom teaching, preparing fellows to teach with empathy and build constructive resilience among children at risk.
​
MISSION
Our mission is to co-build (with regional leaders) skilful and systematic responses to the impacts of conflict on children, teachers and school systems, in regions impacted by intractable conflict, towards inclusion, exposure and alternatives. Through our curricula and pedagogy based on principles of well-being and constructive resilience, we wish to equip a community of teaching practitioners and school systems, who recognise that children in conflict have unique experiences that they learn from and in this knowledge lies the key to personal and social transformation. With this in view, we strive to build education which responds to contextual volatility with safety, is resilient to traumatic experiences of shutdowns and violence, reflects children's true potential, and scaffolds for a secure present and future.
Teach To ELICIT commenced as the primary practice of ELICIT Foundation and that is just the start of it. Keeping our Founder, Director's bank of knowledge and experience as our scaffold while we further learn, unlearn, explore, collect, document, reflect, and grow, ELICIT categorises these processes under 3 main DOMAINS as offerings to be availed. They are for organisations wanting to collaborate to build better education practices.
Practice
This represents what we do on ground in conflict impacted territories. It is the implementation of Teach to ELICIT program according to the contextual reality of the space of operation, currently 3 districts of South Kashmir.
Culture/Capacity Building
This is what we offer as an intervention service to schools, education organisations to help build try-layered: student, teacher and school system: cultures. We also provide curated training support for teachers, school leaders, administrative teams - all in complete adherence to the spirit of unconditional curiosity and responsive design. We do what you're most in need for.
Design & Documentation
It is a culmination of the processes executed by an individual/organisation and its impact. A narrative developed from the same would be emulated through a medium which encapsulates the work of the organisation. It could be a document, impact assessment, brochure, series of zines, a collection of stories, etc.
