Udgam introduces School Cinema-the reel way to learn

Udgam becomes the foremost institute in Ahmedabad to introduce School Cinema. It is a film based learning module for children, teachers and parents encompassing the various spheres of a child’s holistic development. It will help students to effectively deal with ‘real’ life challenges and issues and equip them with the necessary life skills, values, attitudes and morals. It will facilitate interactive learning on topics ranging from environmental awareness, to nationalism and to personal issues through fun and exciting films. We are going to bring in this from Class 1 to class 8. Every film has a corresponding worksheet with activities. The activities are so interesting that children become totally engrossed in doing them. Thus value education is imparted in an interesting manner.
