Kahaani Palampur Ki: An Attempt Towards Arts Integrated Learning
Kahaani Palampur Ki 2.0 is a novel attempt towards arts-integrated learning. The brainchild of Ms. Anisha Madhukar, supported by Ms. Manjima Chatterjee, the project brings Social Science alive through the story of Village Palampur.
This reinvigorated module takes the learner to Palampur, its characters, contexts, and contradictions. The module also brings together Action Research into Arts integrated learning. The module has been an immense learning journey for the team.
The objective of this endeavour is to understand the complexity of coordination in transactions, between infinitely varied activities of a number of individuals each of whom has their own private goals; and rights in a Politico-Economic system; and thus to examine the possibilities of negotiating the status quo or, look at alternatives.
The outcome statement for the students’ understanding is for the three key principles of No Free Lunch Principle, The Cost-Benefit Principle, and the Principle of Margin.
The first stage of research involved students who were introduced to contexts and situations which required their intervention as experts to offer solutions. Thereafter the strategy involved the teacher and student getting into a fictional space to engage with the topic of learning. The teachers’ role in this endeavour was to merely help students engage with the situation and not about getting the delivery right.
The entire team was highly encouraged by the school leadership by being the ever encouraging pillars of support.
