Date: 25, 26 October 2012. Participants: Teachers, Thamari International School, Thanajavur. Facilitator: Radha Ramaswamy I feel I need to change for myself. I now feel more interested in job and family. This workshop will help me come out of all the stress I am facing. The facilitator was very energetic, and kept us all engaged throughout. During the 'cover the sapce' exercise, I was asked to walk in open space without eye contact with anyone. I felt I am spending no time to think about myself. Silence is a an body language that speaks a lot. This was an Aha moment for me. Jayasri N. Explored many new facets of my personality that I now wish to develop and be a better person - eg. Listening. The facilitator was confident, calm, helped others to develop their own thoughts. Iwas not aware that I can act, so when I acted as a dead person it was a wow! moment for me. Barsha Chakraborty. There were no lengthy lectures or writing, We had fun filled games loads of experience to learn a lot. We learnt the effective use of body and senses in activities - this we normally do not make use of. I learnt to express myself boldly and experiment. I would hesitate to do this normally. . This workshop will help me personally and professionally. I experience the power of being united and accepting others' views too. The facilittaor gave individual attention, she is a good listener, respects others and is efficient in conveying ideas though ideal games and activities.

Lot of fun filled activities with relation to our life. I liked the way I talked about my own experience and not of the group.

I learnt how to act upto those who dominate us badly. I learnt that I should react only after seeing the attitude of the dominating person. Sahana Rajkumar I loved the activities and games and the use of theatre techniques. I looked at application in teaching strategies in class room and correlated all activities with class room situations. When we have children with individual needs and will surely apply these in the class room. The facilitator is someone I would someone I would like to idolise and follow. Ma'am, please do visit us again and help to re energiee ourselves and enlighten us with a few of our dormant powers.
