The workshop went off extremely well with the students in Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Bangalore, Pune, Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata. All of them actively participated in the event. They were very focused and energetic. They enjoyed all the activities thoroughly and expressed their desire to attend more such workshops. Teachers accompanied students to some of the venues, sat throughout the workshop and gave LearnLinQ a very positive feedback at the end.
The LearnLinQ facilitators could sense the excitement in the students when they took different roles such as leader, artist, reporter, timekeeper and motivator. Participants from different schools mingled with each other very quickly and that was very encouraging. They related easily to team tasks in their own school activities and expressed eagerness to utilize these learnings for those tasks.
Some schools have asked for this workshop to be conducted for all their senior students.
