Spin A Yarn India (www.spinayarnindia.com) is focused on Preserving, Protecting & Promoting Indigenous Languages in India to benefit our younger generation by inviting our older generation to Participate. As exclusive partners of the UNESCO Indigenous Language Programme and the Bhasha Sangam Initiative started by the Govt. of India; our focus is on helping our children understand the diversity of
the numerous languages of our country, our heritage and culture via stories in Indigenous languages. It is through language that we define our identity, express our history and culture, learn and participate in all aspects of society. Languages are not only the first medium for communication, education and social integration, but are also at the heart of each person’s unique identity, cultural history and memory. Spin A Yarn India has created a platform for “Storytellers” to come together to discover and share their passion for stories. We are today a 90+ strong family of creators, dreamers and storytellers united by our love for great stories. Alongside this, Spin A Yarn India works with over 600+ schools across the country including private schools where we conduct The Read Aloud Project (www.thereadaloudproject.com). The focus of The Read Aloud Project is to improve the literacy of children by engaging the parent community within schools. We have recently announced the launch of The “SaY” Magazine (www.spinayarnindiamagazine.com). The monthly subscription bilingual magazine is based on a collaborative program to involve children from schools across the city to create a magazine for the children by the children. We have partnered with multiple schools across the city to get together a core group of students who will work on creating, editing and publishing the content in a collaborative environment. This will be one-of-a-kind initiative where children from various schools will come together, not to compete, but to collaborate.
