Go on ‘The Animal Trail’

April 24, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 09:13 am IST - VISAKHAPATNAM:

Tapping the creative potential of young minds and training them in a wide range of soft skills, including communication, presentation, and public speaking, the local chapter of The Launch Pad is coming up with a theatre workshop for children.

The fifth annual summer session, crafted with the theme, ‘The Animal Trail’, is presented as part of Kathawriksh, the theatre and storytelling wing of The Launch Pad.

What’s interesting is that it has been supported by the Humane Society International that works on global issues pertaining to animal protection, providing videos and story material.

“Besides providing a platform for the participants to nurture their creative skills, the prime focus is to help them understand the magnitude of cruelty meted out to animals, sensitise them on the subject, and encourage them to contribute to create better future for animals in their own way,” says Sangitaa Sehgall, founder and master trainer of The Launch Pad. Those aged between seven and above can enroll for the theatre workshop, which will be rounded off with presentation of skits involving the entire team of participants. While the first batch of the workshop is rolled out from April 27 to May 13, the second session will begin from May 18 to June 3. Both the batches are scheduled to be held between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. For registrations, contact 9490417053 or 8500636198.
