Hridakasha
HRIDAKASHA – IN ASSOCIATION WITH MIRRA FOUNDATION
Hridakasha was our 6 month certificate course, in partnership with Mirra, Chennai. The course aimed to introduce multi-arts forms and demonstrate understanding and specific practice in the area of the arts to facilitate inclusion. The idea is to work with teachers, parents, caregivers and the broader community.
The first edition of Hridakasha was launched with a Certificate course for teachers from mainstream and inclusive schools. The course “Enabling peer – peer interaction to create empathetic learning spaces using the Arts”. The broad purpose of the course was two-fold – Working on self and equipping oneself to facilitate classroom learnings using creative interventions.
Through this initiative, we have now begun working relationships with several schools. The teachers from these institutions below are a part of our first batch of Hridakasha.
