A necessidade: Qual é o problema que você está tentando resolver?
Post 9-11, citizens of both Pakistan and the US view each other with increasing paranoia, mistrust and resentment. The lack of empathy or the ability to feel the emotions and narrative of the ‘other’ is being embedded into the psyche of youth/children in both societies. Socio-economic and class differences within Pakistan/US have also triggered feelings of bitterness amongst the ‘inner-city’ lower-middle class for their affluent, in-country peers. If humanity is to live and thrive in a harmonious, interconnected world, it is imperative that we inculcate empathy as a core value from an early age within each society and across societies/cultures/civilizations.
A Solução: Qual é a sua solução? Seja específico!
NAYA JEEVAN aims to launch a bilateral (US-Pakistan) initiative that engages youth/children through the celebration of each other’s indigenous art, music and cultural heritage. According to SZALAVITZ , 2010 Nearly 90% of brain growth takes place in the first five years of life, and the minds of young children who have been neglected or traumatized often fail to make the connection between people and pleasure. Based upon this premise, NAYA JEEVAN is going to launch a primary school Child-to-Child Program which brings together children (including children with special needs/abilities) from different cultures and socio-economic strata in the co-creation of art & music. This profound cross-cultural immersion will leverage multimedia digital technology.

NAYA JEEVAN will launch this initiative in Karachi and Washington DC. The main activities of this initiative include:
• Setting up clusters of children (approximately 5 children in each cluster)
In Karachi each group will be a mix of students from institutes for children with special needs (e.g. Ida Rieu, ACELP), SMB Fatimah Jinnah (NGO Schools) and Bayview School (an affluent, private school).
In Washington DC, the children will be brought together from member schools of the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools and National Association for independent schools. The objective here is bring together children from different socio-economic strata and different countries/cultures and engage them in bridge-building activities that they can all enjoy and fully participate in.
The sessions will be conducted independently in both Karachi and Washington DC. Sessions in Karachi will be guided/facilitated by trained art therapists and child psychologists/educators. The objective of these sessions is to co-create art and empower children to express themselves through art. Once a week there will be virtual sessions attended by both groups which will be technology-enabled, facilitated, and embedded with an art curriculum.

Quais seriam os desafios impostos por esses concorrentes que impactariam no seu sucesso ou crescimento?
At the moment, there are very few initiatives in Pakistan which transcend cultural and socioeconomic boundaries and bring together children from diverse backgrounds. Similarly, in the US, there is almost no contact between American school children and their Pakistani counterparts. Children and their parent's opinions are often framed through the distorted lens of an agenda-driven, ratings-seeking media. Most of the current international initiatives are ad-hoc, lack programmatic structure and longevity and almost always involve brief, periodic, physical interaction – something which is not sustainable or scalable to the masses.

IMPACTO SOCIAL
Temas relacionados à inscrição
Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?
By bringing children together and giving them the opportunity to co-create a vision of their collective future through art, we are giving them a powerful platform for creative expression and mutual understanding. Our guided, structured art 'therapy' workshops are aimed at overcoming inter and intra-cultural differences. Through this intervention we aim to activate empathy within classrooms in different societies and cultures. In the pilot phase, NAYA JEEVAN has already impacted approximately 100 children with special needs from 3 schools/institutes within Karachi, Pakistan. While the children's artwork initially focused on macabre, sombre images that revealed trauma, depression and/or overwhelming negativity, persistent engagement with art therapists has elevated their mood, confidence and self-esteem. The colors used and images painted have become more vibrant and optimistic.
Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 1 - 3 anos?
As children graduate from our program and eventually become integrated into mainstream society as responsible, proactive citizens, they should, hopefully, be far more respectful and understanding towards peers with different religious, ethnic and cultural identities. Increased sensitivity towards other human beings will reduce the susceptibility of young people towards (gun) violence (in the US) and/or succumbing to militant groups (in Pakistan). Ultimately, we hope to bring about a huge paradigm shift through the 5000 children who will be enrolled in our program within 3 years.

História: Queremos saber mais sobre o momento de descoberta desta solução. Conte-nos a história sobre onde e quando o(s) fundador(res) vislumbrou(aram) o potencial desta solução para mudar o mundo. [125 palavras]
As a child I relocated from the UK to Pakistan and was really disturbed to see the socioeconomic apartheid that existed there. I would sing with and draw paintings with my maid’s children and realized at a very early age that they had the same dreams, aspirations, feelings, etc as I. What caused children from affluent society to ostracize these underprivileged children was lack of empathy. When I moved to the US for college, I recognized the same lack of empathy existed between outer and inner city kids and between American kids and children from countries that the US was officially or unofficially at war with (e.g. Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc). It seemed obvious to me that music and art had the power to connect children from across the world and help them empathize with one another.
