a) Classes Nursery to II: A story telling session using the story book-‘My Appa and his Sounds’ was conducted for the students by the class teachers to sensitize them towards –people with disability. It was followed by discussing the relevant questions based on the story.The session helped the little ones understand that each one of us is different yet same in so many ways. In addition to this, a colouring sheet related to the story was also given to the children.
b) Classes III-V: To sensitize the young children and make them aware about their role in creating an inclusive world, an awareness program during Life Skills class was conducted.
The session began by talking about International Day of Disability, why is it celebrated and what is the meaning of Inclusion. It was followed by reading a story of ‘Thukpa for All' in class 3, ‘Wheeling Away ’ in Class 4 and ‘I Didn’t Understand’ in Class 5’. Each story had a specific lesson to teach the children about Inclusion.
The song ‘Be Kind’ by Joe Reilly helped them understand the importance of kindness.The children enjoyed the sessions and were receptive towards the message conveyed to them.
