Dr. Jose Parappully, Director of Sumedha Centre, was invited
to do a Staff Updating programme at Loreto Convent School, Tara Hall, Shimla.
It was held on August 23, 2018.
Dr. Parappully dealt with the themes of Educating with the
Heart.
The programme began with a simple meditation that the
teachers could practice daily to reduce stress and increase well-being.
Dr. Parappully then emphasized the importance of
Self-Awareness and provided some experimental exercised to become more self-aware.
This was followed by sessions on enhancing empathic
listening and relating.
The workshop inputs were enhanced by video presentations,
music and opportunities to share experiences and reflections in small and big
groups.
The participants expressed great appreciation for both the
content and the process followed.
A common sentiment expressed was that this “was a different
kind of workshop. It really helped us to get in touch with ourselves, and
relate to our students more as sensitive human beings.”
