ചിരന്തന (Day 4)

•Aerobics 

The session started by 6.30 am. Ms. Jithi J G demonstrated more movements and we engaged in rhythmic and repetitive movement set to energetic music. The rhythmic beats guided each movement, enhancing coordination and boosting mood.

•Parayunnu Paadunnu 

The session led by Gireesh Puliyoor was unique and thought provoking. His verses delved into the tapestry of realistic social issues. Contrary to the sessions so far which talked about superficial concerns, the poet skilfully addressed pressing concerns, sparking introspection among us. The verses painted pictures of societal challenges from inequality and injustice to environmental crises and the complexities of human relationships. Through the lens of poetry, the session became a powerful platform for reflection prompting a collective examination of our shared responsibilities and the need for positive change.

By 1 30 pm, wo set out to Indian lnstitute of Science and Technology, Thiruvananthapuram. The college had arranged two buses for us. After the preliminary security check, we were asked to gather at the conference hall of IIST.  Dr Umesh Kathani gave an enriching talk on Art and science of learning. He talked about various perspectives of teaching and learning and made sure the attendees are thoroughly engaged.

Throughout the visit to the IIST, an atmosphere of excitement and curiosity prevailed. The visit provided a unique opportunity for us to explore the cutting edge advancements in space science and technology. Engaging in interactive sessions, the student teachers ganed insights into the institute's research projects, satellite technology and space exploration initiatives.

After we returned from IIST, the most awaited cultural night at Chirantana happened. Dance performances, group songs and the award ceremony reigned the night. We went back to our rooms with a bunch of cherishable moments.
