Vidya Sagar invite to a lecture on ” De – Schooling and it’s relevance in India ” and ” Swaraj University “.
The lecture will be delivered by Mr. Mansih Jain – a de-schooling Activist.
A number of parents have been enquiring about de schooling – particularly parents of children with disability, when they find that conventional schooling is not meeting their child’s needs.
Vidya Sagar (though promoting Inclusive Education in mainstream schools) is always questioning existing paradigms – be it in education, health or disability.
This is an opportunity to listen and understand the philosophy and concept behind de schooling. The lecture will be for an hour and the second hour will be open for questions and discussions.
Since there are limited seats, we would like you to register with us by the 9th of February.
Please call Uma @ 98400 35203 or Dipti @ 98409 17314 and give your name and address.
Date: 10th February 2015
Time: 3.00 – 5.00 pm
Venue: Thomas Rajan Auditorium, No:1, Ranjith Road, Kotturpuram, Chennai -600 085
