Slam Out Loud

The Jijivisha Fellowship is a paid, year-long programme that places fellows as socio-emotional learning (SEL) facilitators in low-income private schools in India. Through various art forms such as poetry, visual art, storytelling, and theatre, fellows nurture Creative Confidence skills in children.. Fellows engage with students in grades 5 to 8, develop lesson plans, collaborate with teachers and school administration, involve parents and the community, and provide SEL-based tools and activities. Slam Out Loud provides comprehensive support to fellows through training, mentorship, learning circles, events, and networking opportunities. Fellows have the chance to showcase their artistic talents and enhance their skills through both public and in-house platforms. After completing the fellowship, they can explore full-time or freelance roles with Slam Out Loud, as well as pursue diverse opportunities within the arts-in-education field in India and internationally.
