The 18th week of the Kankinara Faculty and Training Programme focused on collaborative classroom engagement and creative learning through activity-based sessions. The week’s sessions were designed to help faculty experience how to conduct integrated classes where language learning and hands-on activities go together, keeping students actively involved and motivated.

Two faculty members from Kankinara attended the session and brought two of their students as well. All participants attended the class together, creating a lively and interactive learning environment. During the session, they selected a short English story, prepared a set of question–answer items from it, and conducted a light grammar-focused discussion. This helped reinforce how reading comprehension can be effectively linked with structured Q&A practice and basic grammatical understanding.

A key highlight of the week was the special session conducted by Ms. Ujjoyini, who introduced participants to simple handcraft activities. Students were guided to create jewellery using ghoongroos and other decorative materials, along with colourful paper-based craft work. The session encouraged creativity, patience, and fine motor skills, while also showing how craft-based learning can be incorporated into classroom engagement.

Overall, the 18th week of the Kankinara Faculty Training Programme brought a refreshing blend of academic and creative learning. The participants, especially the students, felt joyful and happy during the sessions, and the atmosphere remained energetic and positive throughout. The week supported faculty development by demonstrating how innovative activities and interactive teaching can make classroom learning more enjoyable and effective.
