Session on importance of Peace, Unity and Communal Harmony - Uttan


On 18th October 2017 an activity session on the importance of peace, unity and communal harmony was held at Uttan for 40 Bal Sansad children. The main objective of this session was to bring together the children of different faith as one community and teach them to respect each other. It also aimed at making them aware on the importance of Bal Sansad.
An icebreaker session on overcoming indifferences was conducted by the CCO staff. The topic was introduced and based on it a documentary was shown. The children were asked a few questions related to the topic and they answered all of them with enthusiasm.
The children were formed in groups to discuss on ways through which they could come together. They realized actions had to begin from one’s own self. They concluded that they would share their lunch, study, play together as well as participate in each other’s celebrations and at the same time strive to build each other for a better future.
The children learnt it was wrong to discriminate between caste and creed, rather important to stay together in unity.
