Attending workshops can be fun. Combining fun with some learning is a winner with both children and parents and that's just what Bina Bhandari offers at Turn the Tables!
Snehal Saboo, a student of Std. IX, HPS says, “The workshop on Public speaking benefited me in many ways. I'm more confident, and not shy like I was initially. I followed the tips taught to me like maintaining eye contact and came first in an inter house debate competition.”
Learn soft skills
A Soft Skill Consultant and a Writer for over three decades, Bhandari has designed interactive programmes to suit ages eight to 18 where learning happens incidentally.
For instance The Art of Debating involves exchange of ideas and group preparation where one hardly notices that they are picking up important skills like persuasive communication, voice modulation and the art of listening.
Whereas, Creative Writing a workshop popular with teenagers, helps them learn the essentials of good writing with emphasis on developing a plot, theme, setting and providing tips that will come in handy for submitting well written essays with clarity of expression.
A common bug among school children is the lack of awareness when it comes to spelling rules – its often confusing for a child has to figure out if ‘I' comes before ‘e' or ‘e' before ‘I' but these come easy when the mind is trained to make the appropriate word associations. With Spell-Fun a child overcomes the scare of incorrect spelling often enhancing both performance and confidence.
Another interesting and essential skill today is soft skills, one that can gives one an edge over others in a group.
Be it body language, making the appropriate conversation and observing etiquette, there are valuable tips that can be used by all age groups in any environment.
“The workshops build confidence and it really helps when the children know how to stand and talk without feeling awkward.
It makes my day when children report that after the workshop they have become bold enough to take part in school activities and excel,” says Bhandari.
