Joyful Learning

The joy of learning is as indispensable in study as breathing is in running - Simone Weil
The NEP 2020 is landmark policy on redefining Indian Education. It not only asserts that students must learn how to learn but also that learning must be discovery based, experiential and joyful.

Enjoyable learning takes place in a relaxed setting with the educator as a facilitator who embarks on a journey of inquiry along with students. Pleasure and ownership also comes with a sense of achievement and accomplishments that a child achieves while going about his/her learning, thus a feeling a creating something, making a connect with real life is a key for this competency based positive experience.

In this Presentation we are displaying Joyful Learning, a CBSE initiative handbook’s key features crucial terms along with skills and abilities a child requires to achieve a joyful learning experience and that as facilitators we can all view and understand what Joyful Learning is truly about all about.
