The workshop was attended by 50 teachers and teacher educators from 20 districts of Bihar. The workshop was inaugurated by Prof. Pawan Sudhir (Head, DEAA, NCERT) and Dr. S.A. Moin (Director, ODL, SCERT, Bihar). The training workshop was held for six days focusing on the following major key points: 1. Chetna Satra (Morning Assembly): In Bihar, every local school begins with a Morning Prayer meeting, hence the training workshop was also begun with a Morning Prayer. The beginning of the assembly should be done in such a way that it should be knowledgeable, attractive and entertaining, while keeping in mind the local culture of the state. An attempt was made to bring variety in the way the assembly was conducted as it had lost 10 its charm over the years. Hence, innovative and attractive ways were thought of to make it more interesting. The participants were encouraged to perform with new innovative ideas; thus geometrical shapes were used to make it more interesting and knowledgeable. They were encouraged to make use of the various languages of the state while performing prayers, story-telling, presentation of regional news, etc. in order to promote its regional culture. The use of paper caps, masks and different types of crowns had created excitement among the participants. Such activities, according to the participants, would bring about enthusiasm among the students, as well as bring out their creativity. The morning assembly was presented in various styles on a daily basis. On the last day, kite making and kite flying activities took place, in which the Director, Mr. Hassan Waris, as well as the participants flew their kites. Mr Hassan Waris said that "this activity reminded him of his childhood days. If such activities are part of the morning assembly, then there would have been good attendance during the assembly. 2. Visual Arts: during the first stage, various concepts of visual arts had been discussed. Because a few new participants had joined this workshop, hence, those concepts were again reinforced among all the participants. Mr. Sheikh Zahoor introduced "Chahya Prabhav" a painting activity through which teachers could easily teach geometrical concepts to their students. The participants were enlightened about the ways through which subjects like languages, sciences, social sciences, etc. could be taught with the help of visual arts. 3. Theatre: Theatre activities were the main attraction during the workshop. Theatre is a mixture of various art forms and is also collective art form. Participants took a lot of interest in these activities. Participants were divided into groups, in which they were given a specific topic on which they had to direct and perform. During the performance, the remaining participants observed the play, thus, giving suggestions for improvement and also discussed various ways of teaching and learning through theatre. The teaching through art integrated learning was focused upon in relation to their teaching transactions within the classroom. They were made to understand that, with the help of theatre, teaching and learning of subjects would become simple, also moral values could have been taught among the children. 4. Documentary Films : the participants were made to see films related to Art Integrated Learning that had been made by different schools, and CIET, NCERT. The main films were "Har divas kala divas" and "Arts as Brain Developer".
