Teacher Sensitisation Program
At Project VENDA, we believe that teachers are the frontline of support who play a formative role in shaping attitudes, habits and Behaviour. Teachers play a critical role in nurturing current and future generations to encourage and equip children with sound critical thinking skills for everyday life. A sensitised teacher knows more about the child and often becomes the child’s trustworthy refuge.
Reach
We’ve sensitised over 15,000 teachers in 750 schools in Kerala over the past five years, building a first line of support for students. Teachers are empowered to teach important life lessons beyond academics. Our Teacher Sensitisation Workshop has been established as a proven model of making teachers effective enablers for children.
Key topics include: Teaching excellence in the 21st century | Brain science and addiction cycle | Major causes for addictions | Identifying behavioural changes in children | Catering to children with addictions | Addressing sexual abuse | Awareness of the legal framework of child protection | POCSO and COTPA protocols
Training Time: 120 minutes
Number of participants per batch: For the training to be effective, we recommend only 30 teachers per batch.
Impact
“As a teacher, I have personally understood the value that Project VENDA brings to the table. I now understand that children today live in a very different world filled with distractions and mis-information that can cause tremendous damage. The role of a teacher today needs to change accordingly – and that is why I believe in what Project VENDA does for teachers.” T A Louis, St. Mary’s Govt. High School, Kochi
