Embarking on the journey of conducting a Life Skill Workshop at Shaheed Rajpal DAV Public School was a profoundly enriching experience. The session unfolded as a delightful exploration of self-awareness, empathy, problem-solving, and a myriad of 21st-century life skills. Here's a glimpse into the insightful and heartening workshop.
The workshop commenced with a SWOT analysis, unraveling the strengths and weaknesses of each participant. As they delved into self-analysis, the room echoed with introspection, setting the stage for a journey of self-discovery.
Drawing inspiration from college days' role plays at Shri Ram College of Commerce, the session seamlessly transitioned into empathy-building exercises. Participants showcased a remarkable understanding of the challenges faced by Uttar Kashi workers during the tunnel disaster rescue efforts. Appreciation for problem-solving skills emerged as they navigated the intricacies of rescue operations.
Communication skills took center stage, accompanied by a nuanced discussion on the importance of reading between the lines. An anecdote featuring Mr. K V Kamath underscored the significance of communication with a purpose in a professional setting.
The workshop ventured into the realm of interpersonal relationships, creativity, and emotional intelligence. Participants exhibited commendable creativity, marketing products made from rose petals, and engaging in role plays that mirrored real-world scenarios, emphasizing reasonable profits and effective problem-solving.
The pinnacle of the day unfolded as teachers assumed the roles of farmers and technocrats, addressing pollution concerns in northern India. Their creativity and critical thinking, symbolized by the conversion of Parali to Pellets, encapsulated the essence of applied skills.
As the workshop concluded, participants expressed profound gratitude, acknowledging the transformative impact of the session. The questionnaire by CBSE on life skills became a testament to their newfound insights and skills proficiency.
The session, though addressing life skills, also provided a platform for coping with stress and challenges. Participants, facing various personal matters, found solace in the wisdom of discerning between what is in their control and what is not. The parting words, seeking the wisdom to accept and change, resonated with the participants, marking the end of a day where time seemed to stand still.
In retrospect, the workshop at Shaheed Rajpal DAV Public School was not just an academic exercise but a journey of personal and collective growth—a testament to the enduring impact of cultivating life skills beyond the classroom.
