Summer Workshop for children [Bhayandar, May 2014]

May, 2014, Bhayandar, Mumbai

A

bout 30 children attended the summer workshop organized at the bhayandar Center from May 9^th to 11^th, 2014. All of the three days, the participants, aged between 7 and 11 learnt various useful activities like meditation, values through story telling, puppet demonstration and live examples. On day one, they also spent quality time in learning about the basics of music and singing. Children seemed to be very keen and well prepared to receive all that was going to be taught and learnt. Along with music, children also learnt some basic, simple and “best out of waste” methods to prepare greeting cards. Participants had already brought with them basic material and resources required for a simple card making.  During the course, it was observed that children at the tender age of 7, 8 and 9 years are very open, receptive, have good grasping power, are cooperative and very enthusiastic. At the end of it, they were happy, having learnt something very useful and meaningful.

To train the children in these various disciplines, like card making, music, dramatics, puppet-story, drawing, yoga, meditation, values-through-stories, resource faculties belonging to these fields were invited and these were more than happy to teach the children what they had come to seek.
