Bridging gap through children

Shankarbhuvan comes exactly in an interesting site location where it is surrounded by the old city on one side and a new city on another and has infrastructure hovering over the houses. The initial exercises included to understand the reality of the site and to get familiarise by mapping dirt. 
Different community shares their differences and similarities within Shankar Bhuvan. There is an impression of caste discrimination within different communities due to there food habits and other activities. Yet there are situations, events or festivals which bring them together. The below stages include an understanding of differences in a particular group of people compared to another and focusing on activities that bring them together and what lets them engage within their own community.
The main purpose of the project was to make children travel from one community to the other while playing. Therefore, they can later build a relationship with the different communities. This is achieved by literally connecting the community. Therefore, it is called the Bridging gap through children.
