practice in Kolkata, India
The Froebel Trust began funding a project to support the development of early years education in Kolkata in 2012. The project is part of a wider initiative led by the Kolkata Police, which aims to engage with vulnerable individuals, families and communities in need of support and safeguarding - for example, children who are not attending formal school, at risk of offending, from broken families or living on the street.
At the heart of the initiative are Nabadisha ('new dawn') Schools, which are run by a number of NGOs and are based in police stations, where the local police inspector becomes a familiar figure.
