SCIENCE BEHIND JOYFUL LEARNING When fun is missing from learning actual learning also remains absent. Learning associated with ‘JOY’ retention will be more. Boredom, stress, confusion, anxiety and low level of motivation hinder learning. Engaging mind in the classroom cause surprising power of joy.

TOGETHER FOR A JOYFUL WORLD
In their summer vacation their class teacher gave everyone a project which all had to complete before they come back for their next academic year. Vishu & Anand were classmates and were very good friends .
The project was to be a ‘Citizen Journalist’ or a ‘Press Reporter’ during the summer vacations. Vishu decided to make a story on street dogs and Anand decided to write and make a film on decreasing trees in his home town.
Vishu started to research on street dogs by browsing the internet… Then he met families who were pet lovers to know more on pet breeding… Then he met a veterinary doctor and also contacted veterinary organisations who took care of pets…
He also met the municipal corporation to gather data points on the areas in the city where the maximum number of street dogs were found… During his research time, he documented his learning in his diary… To film these learnings he engaged his friend to shoot the findings using his handy cam…
On completing his research, he documented all his learnings. To be satisfied about what he wrote, he engaged his elder sister to review the document he wrote. He acted upon the relevant suggestions given by his elder sister and arrived at the final document. He then called upon the stake holders for a meeting to present his findings.
After the final review with the stake holders, Vishu felt very happy. His document got passed by the authorities.
