Bagh-e-Sakina

Strengthening civic engagement and awareness among Karachi’s young people

This group of innovative young leaders who met at Habib University successfully completed their first social impact initiative on civic rights and action as a newly formed team.

With the support of Young Cities, Bagh-e-Sakina successfully conducted trainings for students in three schools in Karachi: Children Foundation Trust (CFT) School, Zehra Homes and Gulman-e-Abbas School – engaging 149 students through a total of 10 sessions across the institutions. The team used interactive sessions and games to expose students to topics of civic education, empathy, digital literacy and gender sensitivity. The team also provided trainings for 50 teachers at CFT School and Gulman-e-Abbas School. 

They received overwhelmingly positive feedback from students, teachers and school administrations that requested for more sessions to be organised. Teachers at CFT Trust School shared that the students frequently referred to the training material in their classes and among their families.
