Using Stories in a Classroom: Workshop by ‘iDesign Skills’

May 1, 2014 • Posted in: News, Workshops

In April, the E-Base had new students. This time the students weren’t the school children from villages around, but instead, their teachers. An insightful workshop with ‘iDesign Skills’ put into perspective the impact of the teaching skills and tools chosen in a classroom.

Starting off with how to break up a text into different components depending on their function.

The E-Base is close to completing three years this year. The E-Base workshops have had a considerable impact on the students in Pench.

The Organic Diaries- Step 13: Pack Up Time!

February 27, 2014 • Posted in: News, The Organic Diaries, Workshops

We may have been off to a slow start because of the, may we say, ‘belligerent’ weather (For those who didn’t follow the diaries, yes, the weather was actually dead against us), but we were successful in the end. A section of our summer plants fared very well and our winter plants made us proud.

However, our real pride was the students of Turia Middle School. They showed responsibility and organisation one often doesn’t see in middle school students. We looked at the organic gardening project as a way to instill not only knowledge of organic cultivation but also of cooperation, team work and patience for mutual benefits.

To bid goodbye until we return with our diaries in the next academic year, we’d like to revisit some memories of our enjoyable yet very educational experience. Here are some of the photos that capture the pith of our organic experience.

The Small Acts That Count

February 15, 2014 • Posted in: News, Workshops

Most of the villages surrounding the Pench Tiger Reserve, M.P. do not have organised methods of waste disposal.

While setting up the compost unit in Kohka Middle School , we advised the students to get together and collect the dry garbage and plastic in one location, so as to enable it to be dealt with in an organised fashion.

Just last month, we noticed that our advice has been heeded. There it was, a ‘kuda daan’ at the back of the school, next to the compost unit.

The pit student dug in the school to collect their garbage which is otherwise usually strewn around the school.
