A friend of mine has started a very interesting initiative - KATHA - for kids in Hyderabad. Have attended one of the sessions, and as an actor can vouch for the fact that children attending this workshop were completely immersed in the process. i also seriously think that in this age of rat-race for ranks and grades, such workshops will help the child grow into a better learner.
If you know any parents (could be you too) who have children in the age-group of 3-8, do ask them to visit this place. Trust me, the kids would benefit immensely.
Just think about this…
Before computers, slide projectors, blackboards, books and paper... there was storytelling - the world's first learning tool.
Before television, radio, vaudeville and drama...there was storytelling - the world's first entertainment medium.
Before Faxes, telephones, telegraphs and the written word...there was storytelling - the world's best communicator?
All the advancements in technology today are only as good as the stories they communicate.
At Katha we listen to and tell stories.
Stories ranging from fairy tales and fables to myths and Legends from around the world.
Katha

Here they will hold court with mighty kings and queens, they will feel the joy of an animal that befools a hunter, they will meet people who believe the world was created by snakes and mud, they will get to know people who give courage a whole new meaning… and more.
