‘Venture-23’ at Srinath Public School: Third day focus on creating literary expressionists

Jamshedpur: The third day’s summer camp, ‘Venture-23’ being organized at Srinath Public School in Adityapur commenced with aerobics to brace the participants for an exciting encounter with the world of written expressions.

The concept behind this literary rendezvous was that writing was a powerful therapeutic medium of expressing observations and the resultant emotions. This was an initiative of the camp to initiate the urge for drawing pictures with words. In brief, this literary activity comprised appreciation of literary work, encourage the hunger for writing and fan the fire of creative writing.

As one of the camp administrators noted, “Reading and writing form an integral part of grooming children and making them proficient in writing in various genres of literary expressions like fiction, non-fiction, travelogue, memoir, drama, poetry and lyrical compositions. The activity aims to ensure the creation of a pool of teen authors and make them capable of projecting culture through the various segments of literature.” Following in the same vein, the students were taught to make puppets and narrate stories through the gestures, postures and movements of these puppets made by them. “This is a wonderful technique of telling stories with the use of puppets and will inspire children to discover the joy of literature and learning,” averred a member of the coordinating committee of the Srinath Public School hosted summer camp, ‘Venture-23.’
