Capacity Building Programme on Art Integration

Laureate Public School, Shimla, successfully hosted a Capacity Building Programme on “Art Integration” on 2nd August 2026, reaffirming its commitment to excellence in teacher professional development and innovative pedagogical practices. The programme brought together enthusiastic educators from various schools, providing them with a collaborative platform to explore the transformative role of art in classroom teaching.

Art Integration, as envisioned by the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and promoted by CBSE, encourages teachers to seamlessly blend artistic expression with academic learning. The workshop emphasized that art is not merely an extracurricular activity but a powerful teaching-learning tool that enhances creativity, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and experiential learning.

The sessions were highly interactive and activity-based, enabling participants to experience firsthand how visual arts, music, dance, theatre, storytelling, and crafts can be effectively integrated across different subjects. Through engaging demonstrations, collaborative group activities, and practical classroom strategies, teachers explored innovative ways to make learning more meaningful, joyful, and inclusive.

The resource persons highlighted the importance of designing learner-centric classrooms where students actively participate, think creatively, and connect academic concepts with real-life experiences. The programme also focused on competency-based education, interdisciplinary learning, and developing 21st-century skills through creative pedagogical approaches.

Participants appreciated the enriching experience, sharing that the workshop inspired them with fresh ideas to foster curiosity, imagination, and deeper understanding among learners. The collaborative discussions encouraged the exchange of best practices and strengthened professional learning among educators.

The school management expressed heartfelt gratitude to the esteemed CBSE Resource Persons for their insightful guidance and acknowledged the enthusiastic participation of all attending teachers. Such initiatives play a significant role in empowering educators to embrace innovative teaching methodologies while nurturing holistic development among students.

Laureate Public School continues to uphold its tradition of providing quality education by regularly organizing Capacity Building Programmes that equip teachers with contemporary educational practices. The successful conduct of the Capacity Building Programme on Art Integration marks another significant milestone in the school’s journey towards fostering excellence, creativity, and lifelong learning.

By integrating art into education, we inspire young minds not only to learn better but also to think creatively, appreciate culture, and develop into confident, compassionate, and well-rounded individuals.
