A Different Way to Inspire Learning
Inspired by Sugata Mitra’s work on self-organized learning; The Granny Cloud has been led and nurtured since its inception by Suneeta Kulkarni. It connects children with caring adults from across the world through online conversations. Together, they broaden horizons. Children are encouraged to collaborate, explore and engage in search and fun activities. In the process, it fosters independent thinking, and the joy of communicating across languages and cultures.
Encouraging Exploration
Encouraging curiosity and searching for answers to questions [big and small] that make children wonder, in a safe and supportive environment.
Connections & Collaborations
Encouraging interactions within and across cultures to build bridges of trust, understanding and friendship.
Developing Confidence
Building thinking and communication skills through interactions with empathetic mediators who believe in every child's potential.
How It Works

Children Gather

eMediators Connect
