Introduction to Libraries workshop

As a part of the capacity building efforts, Bookworm Goa and Wipro Foundation conduct an “Introduction to libraries” workshop every year, to engage educators and development sector entrepreneurs into spring-boarding their library practice. The course gives an opportunity to participants to experience and to think about what one can do to change the language and practice of libraries in one’s own work. The workshop also aims to build a deeper understanding of the engagement of children in a library network, with like-minded organizations.
