Bring GullyFuture to your school, starting with a conversation rather than a booking.
Tell us which class group you have in mind, the problem you would most like a session to take on, and roughly where your calendar has room. We come back with a format that suits the group, the kind of person who could run it, and what we would need from the school.
In short
This is the enquiry page for schools. A principal, coordinator, counsellor or teacher authorised by the institution can ask GullyFuture for a session or a programme, naming the class group, the priority theme and possible dates. We reply with a suggested format and who could run it. There is no obligation, and programmes are generally free for participants.
Why this matters
Worth deciding before you write to us
None of this has to be final. It only makes the first conversation shorter, and it is usually the difference between a general reply and a specific one.
The request has to come from the school
A parent, a student or an alumnus can suggest a programme, and often does. The enquiry itself needs to come from somebody who can commit a slot, a room and supervision — a principal, a vice-principal, a coordinator, a counsellor or a teacher with that authority.
Name a group, not only a theme
A theme built for Classes 8 to 10 is a different session by the time it runs for Classes 5 to 7. The class stage, and roughly how many students would be in the room, decide which format we would suggest.
What has already been tried is the most useful thing you can tell us
A school that has run an assembly on the subject needs something different from one starting cold. What did not work last time shapes a proposal more than a wish list does.
Two names settle most of the safeguarding
Who supervises the session, and who in the school owns a concern if one is raised in it. Sessions run inside your supervision structure, so a date is not fixed until both are clear.
There is nothing to buy here
Programmes are generally free for participants. Nothing is sold in a session, and a contributor may not use one to promote a business, course or service. An enquiry commits the school to nothing at all.
Programmes
If you are still choosing a class stage
Each stage page lists what suits the age in the room, which is often the quickest way to name a starting point.
Programmes
The themes schools ask about first
A single theme is a perfectly good place to begin. Several of them across a term is the development programme.
What we cover
What happens after an enquiry reaches us
Five steps, in this order. A school can stop at any of them.
We read it and reply
Usually with a few questions — which group, what has been tried, what you would most like addressed. Nothing is scheduled at this stage.
A short conversation with your coordinator
Enough to turn a broad theme into a specific session, or to tell you honestly that what the school needs sits outside what we do.
A written outline
Theme, format, length, the kind of contributor, what the school provides, and what the session will and will not cover. You edit it until it is right.
Approval, dates and consent
The school approves the outline and the named contributor. The date goes in around your examination weeks, and any consent or media permission is settled before it is fixed.
The session, and a note afterwards
Run under your supervision, followed by a debrief with the coordinator and a short record of attendance, topics covered and any consented feedback.
Formats
Ways this can run at your institution
Pick what fits the group, the hall and the time you can give it. Most schools start with one session and decide afterwards.
Awareness session
A concise introduction for a larger group — an assembly or a year group — closing with moderated questions.
Interactive workshop
Classroom-sized. Scenarios, discussion, reflection, and an action worksheet the student keeps.
Expert conversation
A supervised conversation with a professional or practitioner, built around the questions students prepared.
Panel discussion
Several perspectives on one theme, with prepared questions and questions submitted by students.
Short programme series
Two or more connected sessions, with something to practise in between and a closing reflection.
Parent session
Held separately for parents — home routines, communication, expectations and boundaries.
Teacher orientation
For staff: facilitation, what to watch for, how to follow up, and where the referral boundary sits.
Safeguarding
How sessions with students are kept safe
Two of these decide whether a session can be scheduled at all, and one of them is about what should not be in an enquiry in the first place.
- Programmes are arranged through the institution and run in approved group settings, supervised throughout by a school-designated adult.
- No unsupervised one-to-one mentoring of a student, and no private messaging or personal contact between a contributor and a student.
- Contributors are screened and briefed for the role they are given, and may not use a session to sell or promote anything.
- We collect only the information a programme needs, and seek institutional and parent or guardian consent where it is required.
- A student's photograph, quote or story is used only with specific permission obtained beforehand.
- Anything touching safety, abuse, severe distress or self-harm follows the institution's own escalation and professional-referral process.
- Please do not send student names, photographs or the details of an individual student's situation. Describe the group and the concern in general terms; an individual student is a matter for your counsellor, not for us.
- A date is not fixed until the school has named the adult who will supervise the session and the staff member who owns any concern raised during it.
- We do not arrange sessions requested by a parent or a student directly. A parent who wants a programme at their child's school is welcome to point the school at this page, and the institution decides.
- Parent or guardian consent, where your policy or the law requires it, is obtained by the school before the session rather than collected by us.
- Photography and recording are agreed separately and in advance. Nothing identifying a student appears in any GullyFuture material without specific permission obtained beforehand.
Privacy, consent and child-data wording on this site is being reviewed against current Indian law before any student information is collected. See our privacy notice for what we hold and why.
Questions
Questions schools ask us
Who can submit an enquiry?
Anyone at the institution with authority to commit a slot, a room and supervision — typically a principal, vice-principal, programme coordinator, counsellor, head of department or a teacher acting with the school's approval. If you are making the enquiry on someone else's behalf, tell us who in the school will be the point of contact.
What happens after we send an enquiry?
We read it and reply, usually with a few questions about the group and what has already been tried. That is followed by a short conversation with your coordinator and a written outline of the proposed session — theme, format, length and what each side provides. Nothing is scheduled until the school approves the outline.
Is there a cost to the school or to participants?
Programmes are generally free for participants. Nothing is sold in a session, and contributors may not promote a business, course, institution or service. If a particular programme has a practical requirement, we raise it during the conversation rather than after dates have been agreed.
How soon can a programme be arranged?
It depends on your calendar, the contributor's availability and how long consent takes at your institution. A single session with an internal facilitator is quicker to arrange than a panel of working professionals or a sequence across a term. We do not confirm a date until the contributor and the supervision arrangement are both settled.
What supervision does the school have to provide?
A designated adult present for the whole of every session, and a named staff member who owns any concern raised during one. Sessions are group sessions held in school-approved spaces. There is no unsupervised one-to-one contact between a contributor and a student, and anything needing attention afterwards is handled by your own staff.
Can a parent ask for a programme at their child's school?
A parent can suggest one, and we are glad when they do, but we cannot arrange a school-wide programme on a parent's request. Point the school's coordinator or principal at this page and let them make the enquiry. Parents looking for something to use at home can start with the parent programme instead.

About GullyFuture
GullyFuture is an initiative of Gully Future Foundation, Bengaluru. We design practical, age-appropriate group programmes and bring suitable educators, professionals and mentors to institutions that invite us. The institution provides the student group, the venue, supervision and the local context; we shape the programme and find the right people to run it.
We are not a tuition centre, a counselling or therapy service, a diagnostic service, a course marketplace, or a motivational-speaking business. We provide educational guidance and programme facilitation — not tuition, therapy, diagnosis, crisis care or guaranteed career counselling.
