Program aims to teach students the importance of wildlife and the skill of photography.

 

Rajasthan, 21^st March, 2015: Maya Academy of Advanced Cinematics (MAAC) celebrated World Forestry Day by organizing a unique photography expedition tour called MAAC KLICKS for 35 students in the Sariska National Park. MAAC, in collaboration with the photography expedition tour, DCP Expeditions guided and trained students in the art of photography. This subsequently taught them the importance of forests and the flora and fauna that resides in them.

Located among the Aravalli Hills and home to ‘Project Tiger’, the park covers an area of 800 square kilometres and is one of the first reserves in the world to have successfully relocated tigers. It was known to be the hunting reserve of the Royal Family of Alwar in Rajasthan before being declared as a wildlife sanctuary in 1958.

Tanmay Haldar, a nature enthusiast, avid traveller and skilled wild life photographer, led the training program. He is a highly acclaimed photographer that has been recognized on various forums such as National Geographic Traveller, Canon India, and Smart Photography Magazine.  He was also a panellist at the DCP Expeditions.  The photography competition will allow students to nurture their creative streak that is an essential component in the animation, media and entertainment industry.

Mr. Shajan Samuel Sr. Vice President MAAC and National Head of Events for MAAC says, “The event was  a unique opportunity for students to leave the classroom and actively engage in a surrounding that would allow them to not only hone their photography skills but also to test their creativity and imagination in a real life setting. The unique experience will also educate them on the importance of conserving the environment.”

TSM crafts Cathedral & John Connon School’s music curriculum

             

TSM crafts Cathedral & John Connon School’s music curriculum

 

The two-year course on Western Music will be introduced as the sixth subject in the ICSE syllabus this academic year

 

MUMBAI, 23^rd March, 2015: One of India’s most prestigious educational institutions, The Cathedral & John Connon School has collaborated with Mumbai’s music education visionaries, True School of Music (TSM), to introduce Western Music as the sixth subject in the ICSE syllabus from this academic year.

TSM has launched three two-year courses with Cathedral School that commence this year with Class 9 students. In all three courses, students can opt for lessons in keyboard or vocal techniques that are at par with Grade 4 of Trinity College, London’s curriculum.

 

The difference in the courses has largely to do with the specializations opted for by the students. The ICSE Western Music course teaches one the basics of the techniques while also strengthening one’s understanding of Western Music and musical influences. The ICSE + TSM Producer course teaches all of that and also offers song writing and music production 101 in the first year and composition and production of an album in the second year. The ICSE + TSM Performer course offers the student a chance to be a part of a performance workshop for any instrument at the True School of Music.

 

Says Ashutosh Phatak, co-founder of True School of Music, “TSM's vision has always been about inspiring the next generation of musicians. I’m delighted with Cathedral & John Connon School’s support, encouragement and enthusiasm in offering the best education to their students. More schools should add music to their curriculum, because the music industry in the country is growing and with it, the employment opportunities.”

 

 

About The True School of Music:

The True School of Music is India’s first comprehensive institute of contemporary music. It provides music education of the highest calibre, enabling students to take their musical passion and turn it into successful careers. Established on 1st September 2013, TSM aims to train the next generation of musicians, artists, producers, sound engineers, composers and DJs to feed the increasing demand for music within India’s burgeoning music and entertainment industries.

British Council Press Release: A digital student home

A digital student home

 

Mumbai, 20^th March 2015: Red lorry, yellow lorry. It was simple enough to repeat for K. Madhavan and his friends when Neil Sarkar, Head, English Language Centre, South India, British Council, said it slowly. Then, Sarkar upped the ante and increased the speed. Now Madhavan and his friends at the AIM for Seva Free Student Home (FSH) in Tindivanam felt the pinch and dropped out of the race one by one. But they now have a new-found appreciation for the language, and many of the students promised him that they would improve their English language skills over a period of time as they begin to interact with British Council LearnEnglish for Schools DVD. 

 

LearnEnglish for Schools programme provides a DVD with self-access English learning resources for children in age group 5 to 15 years. It is mapped to the National Curriculum Framework, India and provides a learning pathway from Class 1 to Class 10, making it ideal for contexts where the learners are situated in semi-urban or rural areas  where access and internet connectivity is limited. Through the programme, students learn English in a fun and interactive way through songs, stories, grammar videos etc. As the programme is engaging and self-paced, it leads to better retention and understanding of concepts.

 

Inaugurating the programme, Sarkar explained the importance of learning English in today’s world, and the edge that it would give students in their lives. ‘’ With potentially millions of teachers and learners across the world aspiring to learn English, there is only one way that we can achieve that ambition and that is through the exploitation of  digital platforms that can make English, and English learning opportunities, available to all”. He also explained about the British Council’s role in promoting English through development of a range of digital resources which provide an innovative and engaging way to learn English.

 

Meera Rajagopalan, Chief Manager of Programmes and Communications, AIM for Seva, explained the concept behind the Free Student Home. “The programme fits in neatly with AIM for Seva’s concept of all-round development,” she said. “Next year, I hope that the children will be up here on stage, conducting the programme in English.”

The pilot phase of LearnEnglish for Schools DVD is part of AIM for Seva’s commitment to provide children residing in the homes with access to learn English after school once they are back at their Student home. On successful implementation of the programme, it will be expanded to AIM for Seva’s 104 FSH across the country.
