## Introduction to garima girls

Continuing with today's session of storytelling, we can take it forward with the stories of the village. We want the girls to have a discussion amongst them and we'll just gently push them towards the future of their village.

We ask the girls to describe their village to us (farms, animals, daily routine, rivers, ponds, talaab, factories, bhatta...).

We can ask them to also take pictures of the village and send them to us

Then we can have a guided discussion of how do they imagine the future (ideal) of their village with all the girls contributing in.
The prompts we can keep in mind about the different scenarios: political, social, cultural, environmental, economical, heirarchies, open spaces etc (according to how the discussion is going forward).

This could point to their collective aspirations: humare sapne.

And the photos can be used in 'inshot' to have them tell stories around future of their village in the next activity.
