For students
The workshops for students include ‘Dance-in-Education’ and ‘Superheroes: Creating a Graphic Novel.’ The former programme, which will be held on July 21, uses free-style techniques to unlock children’s capacity to express thoughts, emotions and ideas through their own body language.

The workshop will help in enhancing a child’s social skills and explore their creativity and imagination. The registration fee per participant is Rs.750.
The workshop ‘Superheroes’ focuses on a child's creative potential and it will enable children to name, create, and design their own superhero. The participants will be given an opportunity to come up with their own stories featuring their hero. Their scripts will be illustrated by artists.
The session will be conducted by Jai Undurti, writer and creator of the Hyderabad Graphic Novel along with artist Harsho Mohan Chattoraj. The graphic novel workshop will be held on July 28 and 29 and the registration fee per participant is Rs.1,500.
The workshops will be held at Max Mueller Bhavan, No. 4, Rutland Gate, Fifth Street.
