Visual Storytelling and Citizenship Education

The third Governance Lecture Series organized by CGPM was titled "Visual Storytelling and Citizenship Education” by Shehri Pakistan. Shehri Pakistan is a social initiative which offers accessible civic education in Urdu, and not only covers the principles and structures of government but also provides citizens with knowledge of how they can interact with the government and its institutions. It also outlines the responsibilities of citizens to the state and fellow citizens. Shehri has produced animations in Urdu covering various fundamental rights, the separation of powers, legal literacy and local government with plans to dub them into regional languages as well. Other Shehri products include posters, quizzes, Shehri Aaj (AJ+ style videos), Shehri Muqalma, Shehri Mashwara, Shehri Helpdesk and Shehri Lughat.  The speaker for this lecture was Mr. Arafat Mazhar, Director of Shehri Pakistan.
