Meeting Stages
Progressive engagement format for deeper learning
The initiative was designed as a series of progressive meetings held across three stages in each school. Students, teachers, and parents were invited to explore a curated selection of 100 books donated by Zangak Publishing House—covering themes of love, compassion, and caring for animals.
Each session built upon the last—deepening understanding, sparking dialogue on diverse topics, and cultivating genuine interest in literature. The final meeting featured collaborative teamwork: participants chose a book and prepared creative presentations to share with the community.
