We had been taking inputs from educators while creating session plans for skills for life initiative. We asked ourselves, why can't students decide what to teach? Thinking on these lines we reached out to a group of students who had recently left school to enter their college life. We felt this may work out really well as these students have recently faced similar challenges that our skills for life audience is currently undergoing.
These students not only suggested what to teach but also gave a very interesting perspective on how to go about it. We came to know that these young talented students are founding members of 'Invictus: The Film & Photography Society' of Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce, DU.
They decided that the best way to create an impact on young minds is through the medium of short films. Using their talent, they created the following short film on the theme of 'following your dreams':
A picture is worth a thousand words, and an effective high impact video- maybe a million!
We showed the above film to our students of classes IX and X who found an immediate connect with the thought and were eager to discuss more on the same. Many students personally came after the class and based on the video, they discussed the barriers and paths to following their own passion in life.
We thank Team Invictus for this wonderful work and really look forward to more such high impact short films that will be a great teaching asset for this initiative.
