A different type of awareness activity at one of my favourite destinations and my favourite Teacher .
Taking into consideration:
1. The session was for NCC cadets
2. Kids these days worship Chatgpt
3. They need to choose their heroes wisely
4. They are addicted to social media,
Hence, I organised a quiz competition for 10 groups of 20 students each, wherein, i first displayed 10 slides for them, each portraying Bharats Padmashri , Padma Bhushan or simply sustainability heroes!
No paper, no pen, nothing to retain or jot down, except your memory power. I wanted to test their speed, retention, focus, attention and team work.
The group that won was awarded sustainability rewards like fabric bags, upcycled from paper waste books, etc.
In the beginning, what students assumed as a boring lecture, turned out to be a battlefield 🥰, all wanting to implement the teachings of these sustainability heroes.
The best part: NCC teaches sacrifice. Being a B certificate holder myself, and a representing Karnataka at the National level r***e shooting competition in 1998, it was overwhelming to see cadets donate an amount to the NGO. This will be used for rural school development.
Anantvithal Keshkamat , thank you for shaping my ideas into that lovely PPT.
