Chinmaya Chinh-II, the
second edition of a Film Making and Jury Training Workshop guided by Chinh
Early Education Web Channel, was held in Chinmaya Gardens from 9 to 11 Jan
2017. 57 students of Class VIII and IX from 9 Chinmaya Vidyalayas and Vision
Schools participated in this residential camp meant to impart 21st
century skills in media literacy. Guided by Chinh’s Meenakshi Rai and Vinay
Rai, children learnt skills in ideas initiation, visual thinking, narrative and
script writing, critical thinking and decision making. They worked in groups
and learnt about documentary, fiction and animation formats. Peer learning was in full swing
and an important aspect of the camp. Children
from different schools were asked to work as one team, helping them to learn
about cooperation and collaboration, at the same time as improving their social
skills. Swamini Sampratishthananda guided the children with her inspiring and
lucid talks each morning. |
