Training programme

Yesterday was the first day of a 10-day training programme that we have organised for the teachers of our 25 new balwadis.

The point of the programme is to train the teachers in techniques of teaching and childcare so that the little children in our balwadis get the right kind of learning. The training programme will go on for 10 days, from 12noon to 5pm in the 6th floor of our office in Mumbai.

The workshop started, as always, with an inauguration ceremony.

 
The training will be done by professionals (seen in the pic below) from Pratham, an NGO that has been working towards the education of children in slums since 1994. 

 Yesterday's activities included an orientation on what the programme aims to do, and some interactive games and songs that the teachers participated in.

This interaction serves two purposes -- a) to make the teachers themselves comfortable and open to the training, and b) to show them how they, in turn, can engage with the kids in the balwadis.

 Here's to more fun learning!
