Workshops conducted for students

Holistic approach to Education

Manav Rachna International School, Sector 14, Faridabad, is deeply committed to the holistic development of its students, orchestrating a series of transformative workshops. Amidst an array of workshops conducted, the ‘Author Workshop by Ms. Vandana Varanjani from Times of India’ sparked a fervor for writing and creativity, encouraging young minds to explore the boundless world of literature.

‘The Save Soil workshop,’ led by Isha Foundation volunteers, instilled a profound understanding of environmental conservation and sustainability.

In the realm of safety and self-awareness, the POCSO workshop provided invaluable insights into child safety laws and personal boundaries. Further enriching the students’ social and emotional landscape, workshops on language and behavior, emotional regulation, and the use of polite words and actions were conducted, honing their social skills and emotional intelligence.

These workshops endowed students with indispensable life skills, cultivating well-rounded personalities. They learned to express themselves creatively, appreciate their environmental responsibilities, ensure personal safety, communicate with eloquence, and regulate their emotions. The school’s dedication to comprehensive education is aptly reflected in these words: “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” Through these enriching experiences, Manav Rachna International School fosters a generation of students who are not only academically proficient but also emotionally intelligent and socially conscious.

Safe and Unsafe Touch

POCSO Act Workshop

In our ongoing commitment to student safety and security, MRIS- 14 recently conducted a comprehensive workshop on the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act for our dedicated teachers of the Primary and Pre-primary wing.

This crucial training session was conducted by Ms. Aparna, Counselor at the District Child Protection Unit (DCPU), aimed to empower our educators with the knowledge and tools needed to protect our youngest students from sexual offences and ensure their safety and well-being.

During the workshop, participants gained a deep understanding of the POCSO Act, learned to recognize the signs of child sexual abuse, and were educated on the proper reporting mechanisms.

The interactive sessions also focused on developing effective strategies to create a safe and supportive environment within our school. We believe that by equipping our teachers with this vital knowledge, we can ensure that every student feels protected and supported. Together, we are building a safer future for our children.
