It was a commendable effort to focus on the numerous ways of attaining joy in all spheres of our life. The engaging activities and whole hearted participation of the listeners made the workshop intriguing and distinct in its own way.

24th June 2016 – Gender Sensitivity
 Gender is a social construct, not a biological one, and discrimination on this basis is consequently difficult to assess and to address. Distinctions based on biological sex can be measured statistically, whereas gender differentials entail more subtle distinctions on male and female roles. Achieving gender parity (equal numbers of boys and girls) in school is just one step towards gender equality in and through education.
To equip teachers with knowledge, skills and methodologies that promote gender equality, workshop was organized on 24 June 2016, conducted by the school counselor, Ms. Avantika Sharma.
The aim of the workshop was to emphasize on the fact that Gender Sensitivity is not about comparison between girls and boys. At the same time, education for gender sensitivity benefits members of both sexes.
It helped the teachers to determine which assumptions in regard to gender are valid and which are stereotyped generalizations. To facilitate better understanding, the concepts of gender, the basic terms associated like Gender Equality, Gender Equity, Gender Discrimination etc. were also discussed. Overall, the session helped to attain a Gender neutral environment and laid a strong foundation for such discussions in the future.
