The GSSP Workshops
In November 2023, we conducted a series of educational workshops with the young minds of the Spread a Smile Foundation, the Lakshyam NGO, as well as the Wishes & Blessings NGO in New Delhi to help familiarize them to the concepts from the GSSP Curriculum via interactive group-based activities.
The GSSP Immersion
Then, in October 2024, as part of our collaboration with the Hamari Pahchan NGO, we facilitated a series of four expert-led sessions in hybrid mode led by PhD and Masters candidates from India and abroad. Attended by 20+ students in their late teens, the sessions helped students reflect on everyday concepts from a new lens, observing common phenomena through moral philosophy and ethics.
The sessions and faculty included:
Session 1: Kartikay Kheterpal, MA, Liberal Studies, Ashoka University; India’s living spiritual traditions and the music, wisdom, and poetry tied to them.
Session 2: Dr Jatinder Maan, PhD in Law, Punjab University; Importance of protecting the environment and the role of law in doing so.
Session 3: Anit Singh (Author, and MA, Liberal Arts, Ashoka University); Storytelling session on the relationship of adolescents to self, culture, and environment.
Session 4: Srishti Gupta, MA, Liberal Arts, Ashoka University & MA, Expressive Arts, European Graduate School; Disconnection to connection through the arts.
