Kindling Minds, Cultivating Grace: A Two-Day Odyssey on Adolescent Education —Where Wisdom Walked and Conscience Awoke—
In the hallowed precincts of Guru Gobind Singh Public School, Bokaro, the second day of the Capacity Building Program on Adolescent Education, held under the aegis of CBSE on 14th May 2025, dawned as a radiant continuum of the enlightening pedagogical odyssey initiated the day before.
The aura of the Multipurpose Hall brimmed with contemplative energy, as educators delved deep into experiential learning, attuning themselves to the tender intricacies of adolescent minds. The esteemed CBSE Resource Persons, Ms. Swati Priyanka and Mr. Ashish Kumar Jha, orchestrated a symphony of insight through group discussions, audio-visual case studies, introspective journaling, and thematic role enactments.
Participants engaged fervently in real-life adolescent case mapping—unpacking dilemmas of identity, emotional turbulence, cyber vulnerability, and peer dynamics. Emphasis on value inculcation, unbiased facilitation, and emotional literacy opened portals to humane and holistic teaching practices.
Sessions on gender sensitivity, consent, empathy, social stigma, and self-worth sparked spirited deliberations, nurturing a pedagogy rooted not in instruction, but in understanding. Questionnaires, perception exercises, and self-assessment rubrics infused the day with reflective depth and professional vigor.
As the final curtain gently descended, the mellifluous notes of the National Anthem wrapped the session in patriotic reverence. A heartfelt Vote of Thanks was delivered by Mr. Anand Prakash, who gratefully acknowledged the school’s visionary leadership and the divine purpose that inspires every educator.
Group photography sealed the moments in timeless frames, as a sacred confluence drew to a close—where minds were stirred, hearts awakened, and the torch of adolescent guidance was passed on—not merely as a curriculum mandate, but as a solemn moral covenant.
This two-day enriching session was conducted under the visionary stewardship of Mr. Soumen Chakraborty, Principal, GGPS. The stalwarts of the School Managing Committee, Shri Tarsem Singh, President, GGES, and Shri S.P. Singh, Secretary, GGES, wholeheartedly appreciated this noble initiative undertaken by the Principal, echoing their commitment to nurturing compassionate and enlightened educators.
