An open forum has been initiated as part of the student monthly meetings organized at Smile Foundation’s Mission Education centre IPER in Kolkata, West Bengal. The forum will encourage debate and discussion among the children studying at the centre on a varied range of relevant topics.
In the first session of the open forum, discussion was held on child rights, particularly a child’s right to education. Teachers from the centre explained about the same to children, before leaving the field open to questions and interactions on the issue.
