The session began with the Indus movie followed by lamp lighting by Chairman Shivakumar, Principal Smita  Rathore and a few representatives from the participants followed by the welcome by Smita and a short talk by Shivakumar. The session then was carried forward by the mentors- Ruhy Ahmed, Avni Nimwal, Poonam Shrotriya and Monica Jaiswal of the Indus World School. The participants appreciated the workshop and suggested to conduct more such sessions in future. Energizers were something new for them which basically are helpful in the classroom initially as an icebreaker later for breaking the monotony, focusing their span of attention and language building.
