Annex IIA Brief Note on the Workshop on Role of Puppetry in Education Puppetry has played an important role in disseminating knowledge in most parts of the world. Puppetry imbibes elements of all art forms such as literature, painting, sculpture, music, dance, drama, and enables students to develop their creative abilities. Puppetry has been used traditionally in India as a popular and an inexpensive medium to transmit knowledge about Indian myths and legends. Since Puppetry is a dynamic art form that appeals to all age groups, this medium of communication has been selected to serve as an aid for imparting education in schools. The CCRT provides a comprehensive and an integrated training in the preparation, manipulation and production of such puppet programmes which may be used in a variety of formal and non-formal teaching situations. The Workshop on "Role of Puppetry in Education is organized for the primary in-service school teachers from all parts of the country throughout the year. It is approximately of 15-16 days duration. Objectives: - to introduce Puppetry as an aid to education, - to teach preparation and manipulation of glove, shadow, rod, string and other puppets, out of low cost, material & easy to use in classroom situation. - to prepare educational scripts and programmes for teaching curriculum subjects through puppetry and to study the impact of training for evaluation, - to enable teachers to acquire knowledge about traditional puppet theatre forms of India and to provide them with an opportunity to interact with traditional puppeteers,

- to encourage teachers to improvise inexpensive teaching aids and to make creative activities for students an integral part of classroom teaching.

To achieve the above mentioned aims, the training program is divided into four parts :: : Preparation of various types of puppets and their manipulation techniques, Preparation of educational scripts, : Practical training in allied arts like story-telling, role play, voice modulation/speech, mime and movement, music and its improvisation. : Production and presentation of educational programmes for school students with practical experience through interaction session Introductory lecture sessions on Concept of Puppets and Script Writing are very important for the success of the Workshop. A good educational message is the core of the puppet play. Great emphasis is given to the writing of the script for puppet plays. Suitable themes for puppet plays are suggested according to the target audience and few good stories are selected after the discussion sessions on stories developed by the participants. Traditional artists from different parts of the country are invited from time to time to acquaint the teachers with regional traditional forms of puppetry. Lecture-demonstrations on Traditional Puppet Theatre of India are organised for the participants to introduce the different styles of puppet theatre in all parts of the country. Participants are taught to make and manipulate simple paper puppets like finger puppets, masks and paper rod puppets. The participants are informed that the Workshop aims at production of simple puppets out of easily available and waste materials to convey educational concepts and create awareness of social issues in the classroom. Manipulation of all these puppets is taught after each practical session. Teachers learn to produce educational puppet programmes with the help of these different kinds of puppets. Educational visits to Sangeet Natak Academy and Crafts Museums may be organized. Sessions on folk music/music for theatre may be organized.

Annex-IIB Brief Note on the Workshop on Role of Schools in Conservation of the Natural and Cultural Heritage The Centre for Cultural Resources and Training (CCRT), New Delhi organises workshops on Role of Schools in Conservation of the Natural and Cultural Heritage to enable teachers from different regions to share knowledge of their culture with others and create a sense of appreciation for the diversity and richness of India's Cultural Heritage.

During the workshop the participants will also develop a practical plan of action that may inspire students to appreciate their natural and cultural heritage and feel as responsible citizens of India, to protect the environment. The accelerated pace of development in our country has brought forth changes both in the physical environment and cultural patterns on an unprecedented scale. With the result, the familiar surroundings and the related cultural identities are being lost. It must be realised that what is lost today, due to ignorance, lack of awareness or concern or thoughtless planning can not be recovered, be it a plant species or an historical monument. The teachers are invited in these workshops to take up the task of sensitizing school students to their role as future guardians of the rich natural and cultural resources of our country. It is approximately of 10 days duration.

Annex-IIC Brief Note on the Workshop on Socially Useful Productive Work/Work Experience Education at all stages has been regarded as a powerful instrument for social transformation. The major task of education in India today is to usher in a democratic, socialistic, secular society which removes prejudices among people. The objectives of introducing "Socially Useful Productive Work/Work Experience" (SUPW/WE) in the schools is to help in the realisation of these goals. Therefore, not only does it form an integral part of the school curriculum, but has its ramifications into other subjects of the school curriculum. The programme of Action of the National Policy on Education of 1986 states that the basic emphasis in interlinking education and culture should be on helping a child to discover his latent talent and to express it creatively. This can be achieved through a participatory process, using their immediate environment giving special emphasis to curriculum reorientation and motivating teachers to interact with the students at different levels. Handicrafts in this country are an important part of our rich cultural heritage, which serve to satisfy the aesthetic needs of man and provide a vehicle for his urge for self-expression. The real significance of handicrafts lies in the newness and surprise of each object. Today we are losing not only an ancient heritage but also an essential element in our social composition which has been a strong cementing force. SUPW/WE in schools gives an opportunity to revive and keep active the rich heritage and cultural traditions of our country and encourages creativity among students. During the Workshop on SUPW/WE, the teachers learn 3 to 4 crafts in-depth. The crafts which are generally taught are Pottery, Clay Modelling, Papier Mache, Mask Making, Tie & Dye, Rangoli, Wall decoration, Cane Work, Bamboo Work, Book Binding, Paper Toys, etc. Lecture-demonstrations and slide-shows are arranged on a variety of topics related to Indian Handicrafts and Culture. Special emphasis on Aesthetic in Crafts is made. Sessions on use of CCRT's Educational Material for creative activities in curriculum teaching are also organised. It is approximately of 10 days duration. Objectives: to revive an interest in Indian Crafts and study their relevance in contemporary life, to help teachers to value and recognise the importance of local craft resources,

to guide teachers to formulate a syllabus for teachig Crafts/SUPW/WE in schools with the new awareness created during the Workshop, to learn about the life-styles of craftsmen and recognise their role in society,

to instill in teachers, the importance of value and moral education and to suggest projects that can be taken up while working for the welfare of the community, to inculcate values of social service and dignity of labour,

to develop an aesthetic sensibility relevant to Indian Culture.

Community Service forms an important component of these Workshops for which health survey, cleanliness drives etc. are conducted. Emphasis is laid on the training programme providing a bridge between traditional crafts and modern techniques. Interaction with school children is also an essential part of the training programme. Attempts for innovations in the use of craft traditions in the modern society are also made. A few CCRT Educational Publications with Audio-CDs are gifted to the school through participating teacher after successful completion of the said Workshop.
