We are pleased to share the completion of the Heartful Mind Sessions at Baroda High School, Danteshwar. The program, conducted from July 1, 2023, to September 23, 2023, engaged two batches of 9th-grade students, with each batch comprising 25 enthusiastic participants.
The Heartful Mind Sessions aimed to foster emotional and social learning among the students, covering a range of essential topics in an interactive and engaging manner. The sessions were designed to enhance students’ understanding and application of non-verbal communication, learning styles, empathy and kindness, happiness and study habits.
The sessions were conducted in an engaging discussion format, allowing students to actively participate, share their thoughts, and learn from one another. This interactive approach not only made the sessions enjoyable but also facilitated a deeper understanding of the topics covered.
The feedback from students and teachers was overwhelmingly positive. Students expressed their appreciation for the engaging and informative sessions, noting that they felt more confident and equipped with valuable skills to navigate their academic and personal lives.
In the words of students*
“From these sessions, I have learned valuable study skills, kindness, happiness, communication, and how to express ideas effectively.”
“I have no additional suggestions other than to increase the duration of the sessions and incorporate more games. I look forward to more sessions with new information, techniques, and engaging activities.”
