Life skills are abilities for adaptive and positive behaviour that enable us to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life.They are a set of human skills acquired via teaching or direct experience that are used to handle problems and questions commonly encountered in daily humanlife.With this in view KMWSC organized a three-day long Training of Trainers on Life Skills education from 25th May,2016 to 27thMay, 2016 for KMWSC staff.This training was organized with an aim to produce cadre of Trainers who will have the competencies to train others and effectively support students in developing abilities.During the training, participants were provided opportunity to plan and prepare lessons on diverse themes and to facilitate sessions to assess their competencies. The most striking thing in this training was that learning was taking place in a non conventional manner.Participants were given the opportunity to think critically and resolve the problems on their own.Skills were taught using techniques such as giving instruction, demonstration, feedback, reinforcement, and practice.Resource Person Dr. Ashis Kumar Das encouraged participants to open up and share their views.Through games the trainer taught concepts like effective communication, communication barriers, leadership and trust building. This traiing training will help in turning the educational centres into child friendly spaces, where there will be no barriers between the teachers and students in future.
