In her talk, she especially emphasizes her work on Callijatra and the preservation of culture through the preservation of scripts and also focuses on her efforts towards it.

She especially focuses on the Ranjana script which was very less used but has been brought back to life by the efforts of Callijatra.

3. About Callijatra (From https://events.atypi.org/)

Callijatra is a youth group from Nepal promoting Nepal Scripts, Ranjana script, NepalLipi and Devanagari conducting Calligraphy Workshops. They are also conducting online Nepalbhasa (Newar Language) classes and creating educational materials).

Ranjana script, equal parts art and culture, was discovered in the eleventh century along with an archive of more than fifty thousand manuscripts.

A script indigenous to the Newar community of Nepal, Ranjana began to fade away in use and importance after policy and regime changes in Nepal.

Now, the Ranjana script has been revived thanks to the efforts of various artists and activists.

The Callijatra project is a youth-led movement at the forefront of bringing Ranjana to the masses through its workshops and outreach events.

With more than two dozen workshops and five thousand participants, Callijatra is bringing pedagogical changes to the Ranjana script and taking it mainstream.
