Going to school and getting future-ready by learning necessary life skills, which includes a basic level of spoken English as well, is something almost taken-for-granted by most of us. But, for children born and brought up in a city slum area such as Mumbai's Dharavi, this continues to be a distant dream.
Realising the need and importance of spoken English which is perceived to be an economic enabler in society, and a skill that distinguishes slum children from the rest, is Radio City 91.1FM's 'Candy Class' project. Conceptualised and executed in collaboration with GREY Group India, the project aims to bridge this gap between children in the slums and those better-privileged.
