The Life Skills Collaborative (LSC) has launched its LSC India Glossary of Life Skills in Hindi, Marathi, and Mizo. The regional language versions of the Glossary have been developed in a culturally relevant context to ensure that access to life skills is not limited to English but is available to children, young adults, parents, and teachers in their regional language. The Glossary, now available in four languages including English, is the first-of-its-kind repository of life skills in India created and contextualised to cater to the needs of India’s young people.
The translated versions of the LSC India Glossary have been specially curated with inputs and insights from various Indian education experts including government experts from SCERT and DIET departments in Maharashtra, Mizoram, Rajasthan, and Uttrakhand. Workshops were conducted in each of the four states to gather specialist opinions to ensure that the culture and context relevance was aptly captured in the translation. The translated versions explain each of the 52 life skills in detail, just like the English version. The glossary and translated versions can be accessed
