‘Satya Bharti Skill Fest’
New Delhi, 20 May 2020.
The month of May has turned fun and creative for government school children as
Bharti Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Bharti Enterprises, launches ‘Satya Bharti Skill Fest’ - an online summer camp filled
with activity-based learning. The fest is being conducted under the
Foundation’s Satya Bharti Quality Support Program that is currently working in
partnership with 804 government schools across 14 states/UTs to improve overall
schooling experience for children.
The
Skill Fest has been designed in consultation with school Principals and covers
a range of activities for raising awareness, nurturing creativity, and
promoting holistic development. Students of the partnered government schools
are participating in competitions like quiz, calligraphy, painting, craft
making, doodling, essay/slogan writing, etc. as well as learning from awareness
sessions like storytelling, concept videos, and more. Every activity is
designed to be done from home and can be shared via online/digital media - the
likes of WhatsApp, etc. While the topics covered focus on academic growth,
various social issues, such as COVID-19 prevention measures, environment
conservation, afforestation, etc. are also included to develop children as
responsible citizens of the future.
Ms.
Mamta Saikia, CEO Bharti Foundation,
commented on the initiative, “The Satya Bharti Skill Fest is designed to
celebrate the skills and nurture creative aptitude among the students. Summer
vacations bring a lot of excitement among children, and we use the opportunity
to engage them in creative pursuits, so that they continue to learn through fun
activities. Our aim is to ensure that students continue to stay engaged with
learning, academics as well as new skills through activities that bring them
joy. The Satya Bharti Skill Fest is completely virtual and we are happy that
many teachers and Principals have contributed in creating this program.”
