Dyslexia affects one in ten children, making it a learning difference that impacts many lives but often goes unnoticed. As part of Dyslexia Awareness Month, a series of initiatives is being launched to shine a spotlight on this crucial issue and promote inclusivity and understanding.
On 19th October, a significant event will be held at GHS-IMR Auditorium, Kamla Nagar, Kanpur, where educators from across the city will gather to deepen their understanding of dyslexia and its associated challenges. The event will feature expert panels, discussions, and workshops designed to provide practical solutions and support strategies, with the aim of creating a more inclusive educational environment for individuals with dyslexia.
Art and Essay Competition: Celebrating Creativity and Awareness
As part of the awareness initiative, an inter-school art and essay competition has been organized, offering students a platform to express themselves creatively. This competition highlights the importance of understanding dyslexia, while also encouraging students to showcase their talents and raise awareness within the school community.
"Go Red" Campaign: A Symbol of Solidarity
Throughout October, the "Go Red" campaign invites individuals to wear red as a symbol of support for those living with dyslexia. The color red represents both the struggles individuals with dyslexia face and their resilience in overcoming them. Participants are encouraged to tag the campaign on social media to spread awareness and contribute to fostering greater empathy and understanding.
