Our Star schools under the IDRF (International Development and Relief Foundation) Project celebrated World Meditation Day with great enthusiasm, fostering mindfulness and emotional well-being among students! Through calming activities and guided meditation sessions, students explored the power of focus and self-awareness. With closed eyes and peaceful hearts, they experienced the profound serenity that comes from being present in the moment. These moments of mindfulness not only nurtured their emotional growth but also taught them valuable skills for managing stress and building resilience. By incorporating meditation into their routines, we’re empowering young minds to thrive both academically and emotionally. At PAGE, we believe in creating holistic learning environments that prioritize well-being alongside education. Together, we’re building a brighter, balanced future for our students. #WorldMeditationDay #MindfulnessInEducation #EmotionalWellBeing #HolisticLearning #PAGEPakistan

At Pakistan Alliance for Girls Education-PAGE, we believe that quality education begins with empowered teachers. We're thrilled to share that a two-day teacher training on Improving Quality of Education has been successfully completed in Swat! 🎓 This comprehensive training brought together passionate educators, equipping them with innovative teaching techniques, gender-sensitive approaches, and strategies to create inclusive classrooms. By enhancing their skills, these educators are better prepared to inspire and empower their students—especially girls, who often face the greatest barriers to accessing education. Quality teaching is the backbone of transforming learning outcomes and keeping children, particularly girls, engaged in their educational journey. With this training, we are taking a significant step toward ensuring that every girl receives the education she deserves, enabling her to thrive and contribute meaningfully to society. Together, let’s continue to pave the way for a brighter, more equitable future through education. #TeacherTraining #GirlsEducation #QualityEducation #EmpoweredTeachers #PAGEPakistan #PAGE

The 16 Days of Activism campaign concluded with a powerful moment of recognition as certificates of appreciation were awarded to all participating students across PAGE schools in Pakistan. This campaign, a global call to action to end gender-based violence, saw incredible enthusiasm and dedication from young advocates, teachers, and community members alike. In Pakistan, where 32% of women and girls experience gender-based violence in their lifetime, campaigns like this play a crucial role in fostering awareness and driving change. School-based violence remains a significant barrier to education for millions, with approximately 26.2 million children out of school, 13.7 million of whom are girls. Gender-based violence in and around educational settings not only disrupts learning but also creates lasting trauma, leaving many girls unable to pursue their dreams. Through interactive sessions, dialogues, role plays, and art-based initiatives, PAGE empowered students to advocate for safety, equality, and justice. The active participation of students throughout the campaign reflects their unwavering commitment to building a better and safer future for all. With the support of dedicated partners, PAGE continues to stand as a gender-focused organization, working tirelessly to break cycles of violence and empower the next generation through education. Let us amplify these voices and remain steadfast in our mission to create a world free of violence and full of opportunity for every child. #16DaysOfActivism #EndGBV #EducationForAll #GirlsEmpowerment #PAGEPakistan #TurningANewPage
