The first week of the workshop focused on the self and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th week will focus on family, education and society respectively.

The first week of the workshop, which dealt with the Self is over and the focus will now be on Family. The students are engaged both on the physical as well as the mental well being, these are done through physical and mental exercises.

The first hour of the day is devoted to physical exercise and yoga. Games are played and students are made sensitive to daily happenings in the surroundings.

The students are also made to make plots and act accordingly.  While sensitizing the students towards the pertinent issues of their daily lives, they are made to introspect.  Students are asked to make presentations of their perception of themselves through acting.

The last hour of the day is spent in some creative work. All the participants are made to write poems, essays and sometimes asked to tell stories.  This story telling is started by an individual and then the next student has to catch on to the thread and weave a story.

Conducted in a lively way, students are actively participating in all the exercises being done during the workshop.
