A six days workshop on constructivism and cooperative learning technology in education moving the learners from theory to practical was organized in the school. The main aim of this workshop was to help the child (learner) ‘learn how to learn’, to move the children from LOTS to HOTS , to be a friend , philosopher and guide to develop the Emotional Quotient (EQ) of the child as well as change the mindset of the people. It also focused on the use of methodologies of teaching where a child can learn beyond his/her limits.

Going on a school visit helps the teachers and administrators to see the types of learning activities and experiences are valued in other schools making them move in a new direction. Keeping this view in mind, we at Happy Days make it a point to visit one or two schools every year by organising either teachers’ visits or under the exchange programs.
