Workshop on SUPW: Learning Through Productive Work
As part of the B.Ed. curriculum, a workshop on SUPW (Socially Useful Productive Work) was organized to provide student teachers with practical and skill-based learning experiences.
The workshop was guided by Art Sir, Harilal Krishnan, whose clear instructions and demonstrations helped students understand each activity effectively. The session mainly focused on eco-friendly practices and encouraged the use of sustainable materials.
During the workshop, student teachers actively participated in activities such as banana leaf plate making and paper bag making. These activities highlighted the importance of using natural and biodegradable materials as alternatives to plastic.
Through this hands-on experience, students developed creativity, manual skills, teamwork, and environmental awareness. It also helped us understand the real meaning of learning through productive work, which is the central idea of SUPW.
Overall, the SUPW workshop was interesting and meaningful. It motivated student teachers to follow eco-friendly practices and to apply such activities in their future classrooms and daily lives.
