“We can do no great things, only small things with great love.” ~Mother Teresa We all involved in education, have a responsibility towards improving the social fabric of our society. Understanding its responsibility towards the society and keeping in sync with its motto ‘We learn to serve’….Cambridge school , Noida organized a Theatre Workshop for children from ‘Setu Shiksha Jyoti Kendra’. Around twenty children (10-14 yrs) participated in the seventeen days workshop ( 16th May’11 to 7th June’11 ). The aim of the workshop was to provide the participant with a fun filled environment that could help break inhibition, stimulate creative thinking, give opportunities to work in teams and go through a process of creating enactments to develop language skills. In a fun filled environment, while playing the drama games or working in groups, so many times I saw inhibition breaking, language development happening body language improving….The children have left me spell bound! It’s been wonderful to see their involvement level, intense desire to learn and improve and honest efforts to ‘make’ the performances happen. The workshop has further strengthened my faith that drama is the most potent tool that can promote the cause of education. –Annu Mehta
