ルーム・トゥ・リードは、2021年8月15日のインドの75回目の独立記念日に、「家で本を読もう（India Gets Reading At Home）」キャンペーンを開始しました。これは、家庭での学習を促進するために工夫された、効果的で簡単なソリューションを提供するとともに、この危機的状況下で子ども達の学習をサポートするために、保護者が果たす役割が高まっていることを認識するためのものです。このキャンペーンは、インドの教育システムや幼い子ども達の生活に深刻な影響を与えているパンデミックの影響を断ち切ることを目的にしています。
Room to Read promotes collaboration with schools across Japan. At Seisen International School, which we are featuring in this article, students are encouraged from a young age to actively engage with social issues and take action, contributing to global efforts in supporting children’s education.
地域とつながる、持続可能な未来への一歩 ファーマーズマーケット開催 A Step Toward a Sustainable Future Through Community Engagement
企画から運営まで！手作りのマーケットを通してともに学ぶ │ From Planning to Operation – Learning Together through a Handmade Market
On May 29, second-grade students organized and ran a “Farmers Market” (see official report [here]). The market featured vegetables grown by the students and handmade crafts. It was impressive to see the children speak directly to visitors about the importance of environmental awareness and fair trade. Through both the preparation and the event day, the students learned the value of teamwork and community involvement. Proceeds from the sales were donated to Room to Read.

WESC（Women’s Education Support Committee）, mainly composed of middle and high school students, engages in charity initiatives focusing on global education and environmental issues.

They also encouraged the school community to donate used books, which were collected and processed through the “Charibon” secondhand book donation service, with the resulting funds donated to Room to Read.
In the IB PYP (Primary Years Program) Exhibition project, the fifth-grade students explore a social issue of interest and present their findings. This year, one group focused on gender equality. Through interviews and research involving educational organizations like Room to Read, students reflected on what they can do as members of society and turned their learning into action.
