I BELIEVE, I Dream, I DO


“I BELIEVE, I Dream, I DO” is a unique writing program for high school children.

Inspired by the American chart-topping radio series ‘This I Believe’, this workshop will have activities that will engage the children and help them confront their dearly held beliefs and their concept of values.

The sessions will facilitate introspection, discussion and imagination and enable them to craft their thoughts into a well-written essay. WORDPLAY uses several creative expressions as poetry /free writing to help the children delve deep into their inner self.

The program would be wrapped up in a podcast by each participant, which will be published on WORDPLAY’s site.

At the end of the session, the student will:

  • They learn to explore and express and engage,not simply communicate.
  • Learn the techniques of brain storming while delving into the concept of belief and exploring their own values.
  • Collate their thoughts while they try to build a consensus between their beliefs and goals.
  • Learn some essential writing techniques (pre-writing, during writing, post writing).
  • Craft an essay worth presenting at various forums.
  • Get initiated to the techniques of writing effective essays, which they can eventually use for their college admission essays.


 
 

 

Feedbacks

The workshop 'I Believe I Dream I Do' exceeded our expectations. Writing is a skill, and developing this skill in kids and young adults is not an easy task. Thanks to Soumi for designing this wonderful workshop for children. The workshop not only imparts writing skills but also helps children connect with their inner self, which is crucial in their growing years. Soumi has a unique way of nurturing and mentoring young minds which makes this workshop so good. Requesting you to continue having such workshops for children and young adults.

I find your session plan very creative in nurturing reflective thoughts, allowing playing with words to nurture written creative expressions in a structured and yet unstructured way. Love it... Yesterday's session was quite a beautiful start...Anandita had long shadings after the session. She loved it.

Your passion as you work with these young adults is so admirable. They are a difficult lot to work with but your patience and attention to each one in the lot are commendable. Look forward to more Wordplay sessions with you for my kids

Thank you so much Soumi for being such a patient teacher! You have a way with the kids and managed to get a lovely piece out of my sensitive boy! We really enjoyed being a part of it and I guess I was more excited to discover you.

I really loved these classes with you, ma'am. I was always looking forward for Sunday to arrive, making sure I'm at least presentable. You've helped me improve my writing and I actually figured what factor was lacking in my presentation. I ended up finding someone who I could relate to and had a great interactive session every time. I wanna work with you in the future through wordplay and explore more of my ideas and beliefs. Thank you so much.
