Expanding the Horizons
The core of progressive education lies in integration of creative art forms - dance,
music, physical fitness as a part of mainstream curriculum. For holistic
development of an individual it is important to have an all round exposure which
is beyond the expertise of one's own subject.
When children are away for their summer vacation, the team members of
Shikshantar work on exploring and enhancing skills through a variety of
experiences. These skills always come in handy in day to day work and
experiences with children.
Through a session on music, dance , yoga, art and meditation our team members
explored the importance of synchronised sounds and collecting energies.
The support staff too had a refresher on first aid in the school, fire drill, handling
of emergencies (in a moving bus or outside school campus).
