Inviting an Expert for transmitting learning

Today on 21st April ‘2022, Mr. Abuzer Madu had an interactive session with students of grade 5, as a part of their exhibition journey. In this session, he talked about elements of theatre and various genres of theatre. He connected theatre with life issues, culture, values, tradition, and festivals. Students presented him with a painting as a souvenir made during their journey towards the annual event.
