The
student-teachers of Innocent Hearts College of Education, Jalandhar celebrated International
literacy day through virtual reality with 2021 theme given by UNESCO i.e. 'Literacy for a human-centred recovery,
Narrowing the digital divide’. Reaching out to the masses for educating them through
mass media and spreading the importance of literacy was the main objective of
the event.
A virtual drama was enacted by the student-teachers with
different scenes depicting real-life situations. Ankita
Suri performed as the narrator. Surabhi Sharma, Kritika Maggo, Deeksha,
Amanpreet Kaur, Kiratpreet Kaur, Ramandeep Kaur, Imandeep Kaur, Richa Dhir and
Tanisha played the roles of illiterate and literate individuals. Through the
different scenes they highlighted the importance of education. In one scene
they showed how an educated lady saved an uneducated woman from being fooled by
a cunning shopkeeper at the grocery who was going to misuse her debit card with
her mobile one time password. In another scene an educated daughter saved her
illiterate mother from losing her property by reading the papers for her on which
she was about to put her thumb impression. This way with various video
clippings the students highlighted the importance of literacy in our daily
life. They prepared their own script, composed dialogues themselves, chose
appropriate costumes and props, they also added animated backgrounds and joined
the clippings of each character.
Principal
Dr. Arjinder Singh said that Drama incorporates the constructivist approach of
teaching in which the teacher acts as a facilitator and students construct
their own knowledge. The online drama on ‘Literacy is a bridge from misery to
hope’ was almost like real drama performance. It was very well organised by the
team. E-certificates were bestowed to all the participants.
