Children eagerly gathered around to sketch, paint, and transform their thoughts, emotions, and imaginative ideas into visual art, creating a shared canvas for expression and mutual inspiration.
Among the key sessions, international guest Laremy Lee, an author and playwright from Singapore, introduced participants to the nuances of dramatic writing, guiding them on how to adapt ideas for performance and stage expression. In another session, "Kahani Tree," storyteller Shivnarayan explored the topic "What is a Story, What is a Tale?", explaining the distinct differences between narrative forms and highlighting how language and events come together to craft compelling stories.
