Diversity and Inclusion in the Classroom

​ThinkArts was a partner at the virtual teachers' conference organised by the Goethe Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Kolkata.

Ruchira Das held a session on TEACHING DIVERSITY & INCLUSION USING THE ARTS

Diversity and inclusion in the classroom are more important now than ever before! Without this, there is a risk of missing out on valuable perspectives that help children understand their world better. The session demonstrated examples that would help build tools for developing critical thinking and empathy. Simple activities using the arts enable teachers to include a variety of voices in their classrooms and encourage children to appreciate multiple lenses of viewing their world.
