AWARENESS SKIT

‘You cannot change your future, but you can change your habits and surely your habits will change your future’.

Classes:  III –XII

Activity: Let’s end cruelty to all animals

The students presented a skit on the plight of butterflies and sparrows and their plea to mankind to save them from disappearance and resultant extinction. The act presented enabled the students to understand that animals too have souls and they also have all the rights to live in this world just like humans.  They learned to evaluate the present condition of the feathered creatures and to appreciate the gift of nature emphasizing their role and responsibility to save them. The students also presented a dance with the soulful track of the sparrow as its backdrop music. All the students then took a pledge to save sparrows and butterflies and spread awareness to conserve the biodiversity of the species to maintain the ecological balance. Everyone promised to place water bowls and some grains on rooftops to feed birds and plant as many trees as possible to give them their natural habitat. The aim was to engage the participants at physical, emotional, mental and social level simultaneously. The platform also provided the participants with  an optimum opportunity to exercise autonomy and consciousness in a safe and fictional space and become critical thinkers in situations that they come across.
