WELCOME TO THE GRANNY CLOUD
The Granny Cloud initiative operated between 2009 and 2022. It comprised an independent team of volunteers that reached out to children with limited educational resources around the globe, in a variety of settings, and provided them with the opportunity to experience worlds far removed from their own. The idea was initiated by Sugata Mitra and is connected to the SOLE approach to learning (self organised learning environment). It has been led and nurtured since its inception by Suneeta Kulkarni.
Members of the Granny Cloud interacted with groups of children, engaging them in conversation and in activities of various kinds, such as reading and telling stories, craft activities, solving puzzles and exploring big questions. The role of the Granny includes provoking curiosity, asking questions, listening attentively and providing warm encouragement.
We invite you to explore the website and learn more about The Granny Cloud and its journey…
