Words Unleashed: CBSE ignites young minds with a literary celebration in India

Gurgaon is gearing up for a first-of-its-kind festival that promises to ignite a passion for reading and writing in young minds. The CBSE Festival of Words, arriving in April, is bringing a unique educational initiative from the West to Indian shores. This isn’t just about books; it’s about opening doors to diverse voices, sparking new ideas, and building a vibrant community of learners.

Imagine 52 schools, a sea of students, teachers, and librarians, all coming together to celebrate the written word. Workshops, author interactions, literary competitions – the festival promises a smorgasbord of literary delights. But it’s not just about fun and games. Behind the scenes, educators will be exchanging insights, forging collaborations, and shaping the future of learning in India.

At the center of it all stands Himanshu Gupta, Secretary of CBSE. His message transcends mere words – it’s about harnessing the power of non-verbal cues and emotional intelligence to build trust and connection. He reminds us of the transformative power of active listening, a tool that can unlock understanding and empathy in the classroom.

But here’s the question that lingers: Will this festival be a fleeting spark or a lasting transformation? Can the spirit of collaboration and innovation ignited here truly redefine the educational landscape in India? Join us in April as we embark on this exciting journey, and let’s write the next chapter of Indian education together.
