Our Journey to Different Art Centre

-

Today, June 24, 2023, at 6:00 a.m., eight of us and our optional teacher, Dr. Jayapraveen J., set out to visit the renowned Museum of Magic – Magic Planet and Different Art Centre (DAC). Our practicum for B.Ed. Curriculum Course EDU 07—Perspectives of Learning and Teaching—included the trip. Our tour was designed to help us better appreciate the value of inclusive education and how to engage with children who have different types of learning requirements. Understanding the unique characteristics and learning requirements of exceptional learners, observing inclusive teaching practices and tailored lesson plans, comprehending the partnership between educators and parents, and witnessing the use of assistive technology are some of the goals of the visit.

The Different Art Centre, the first art centre in the world dedicated to serving children with disabilities, aims to empower and educate children with special needs and expand the focus of training from magic to other art forms, including music, dance, drama, filmmaking, painting, and proficiency with various musical instruments, all blended with a magical touch.

Our programmes began at 9.30 am after we arrived at DAC at 8.15 am. There are now 300 students enrolled in DAC who range in age from 14 to 24. They suffer from a variety of disabilities, including mental retardation, visual impairment, learning disabilities, locomotor disabilities, Down syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, and hearing impairment.

We went to see the unique kids perform in shows like:

We held our Arts Day celebration, "Niravu 2K23," on August 22 and 23.  There was tremendous energy and excitement throughout the two days. Three Houses, Tagore, Gandhi, and Aurobindo, competed in various individual and group events. Participants were B.Ed. second and fourth semester students. The festival was expertly managed by the planners, who performed an excellent job. The two days served as a forum for education, teamwork, and personal development.

On this day, which is widely recognised as International Yoga Day, first-year B.Ed. and M.Ed. students from NSS Training College participated in a yoga session sponsored by the Department of Physical Education. Ms. Bincey (Natural Science Dept.) gave the welcoming talk and Ms. Anjali (Geography Dept.) anchoring the programming. Mr. K.C. Vijaya Mohanan, a certified yoga instructor, served as the resource person. He discussed the effects yoga may have on a person's life as well as the physical, emotional, and spiritual advantages of practicing yoga. As aspiring educators, we must recognise the role that yoga plays in helping students develop overall wellbeing. Yoga poses, or asanas, such as Vajrasana, Mandukasana, Marjarasana, etc., were practiced during the session. The programme concluded with a vote of thanks being delivered by Ms. Niranjana from the Malayalam Department.
