Academic Learning at Snehagram

     The Snehagram facility focuses on teaching and interaction with the students. Learning and living there provides the children with a great experience and aids with their holistic development. One of the most important aspects of learning is related to the sphere of Psychology. For several reasons, the learning of such a subject is of paramount importance because the individual gains multiple skills like learning about oneself and others, gaining better analytical, logical and scientific skills, the chance to make their overall quality of life better in multiple spheres as well as higher consciousness and awareness.

     Furthermore, students learn about different fields in the sphere of psychology, which greatly contributes to various skills and knowledge levels that the students may already have on the subject. Volunteers at Snehagram often use various methods in order to teach children. This includes writing, drawing flowcharts and mind-maps, explaining through a chalkboard, as well as conducting several group and individual tasks and activities. A variety of pedagogy is utilised to keep the children preoccupied, interested and engaged as they tend to get distracted and lose attention in the learning process.

     Teaching such concepts to the children and bringing them to the forefront with such a subject is important because of the analytical nature of the subject itself. Instilling and developing phenomenal analytical and scientific abilities, the capacity to be an efficient communicator and to thrive in the face of conflict is only a portion of the extra advantages of learning psychology. A background in psychology does not just offer students the chance of turning into a practitioner themself, it likewise lays the foundation for various other vocational alternatives.

     Lastly, over the lockdown, the academic aspect has been conducted by volunteers over the online platform. This includes discussions and teachings on art therapy and dance therapy and this further brings about a great deal of learning and awareness for the children, fulfilling the goal behind the initiative of the Spandan Project.
