Inside a Dreamcatchers classroom
A short daily practice
A 15 to 20 minute teacher-led practice gives students a chance to pause.

Renovatio began online awareness and supportive-communication sessions for department staff in October 2026. The first session was held on 22 October 2026. In-person training is a planned next step.
Nagpur municipal schools
Project Dreamcatchers worked with the Nagpur Municipal Corporation across 53 municipal schools during the 2025–26 academic year. The practices are reported to have moved into the NMC system.
Zilla Parishad, Nagpur
Renovatio Foundation and Zilla Parishad, Nagpur are developing a year-round Dreamcatchers programme for approximately 350 newly inducted teachers.
