The two-day training program for teachers of the Atos project at BGVK was an enriching experience focused on enhancing both teaching practices and personal growth. The sessions created a space for reflection, learning, and creativity, enabling teachers to reconnect with their role as educators and mentors.

Fr. Sheldon Dias led engaging sessions on confidence building in children and inculcating interest in learning. Through interactive discussions and real-life examples, he highlighted the importance of nurturing curiosity and self-belief among students. Emphasis was placed on creating supportive classroom environments where children feel encouraged to participate, explore, and grow.

The theme of accompaniment was explored by Fr. Ajay, who reflected on the role of teachers as companions in a child’s journey. His session also touched upon the importance of balancing family life with teaching responsibilities, encouraging participants to maintain personal well-being while fulfilling their professional commitments.

A session on photography and the use of AI in teaching introduced participants to creative and practical tools that can enhance classroom engagement. Teachers were encouraged to explore innovative ways of integrating technology into their teaching methods, making learning more interactive and relatable.

The program also included an art and craft session conducted by Ms. Rutuja, where participants created colorful flowers using paper and clay. This hands-on activity brought a refreshing and joyful element to the training, while also offering ideas that can be replicated in classrooms.

Overall, the training was interactive, insightful, and inspiring, equipping teachers with new perspectives, skills, and motivation to enrich their teaching practices.
