“No man is an island, entire of itself; everyman is a
piece of the continent, a part of the main.”
John
Donne’s famous words underline the importance of community in human life. A
community living camp is a prescribed program in B.Ed curriculum. However,
apart from being a criterion for grades, a community living camp is an
experience that is worthwhile for individual growth and community building.
The
community living camp was organized at Mar Theophilus Training college in
association with the 66th college union, Advithiya and IQAC. At the
outset, all the 99 students were divided into four groups. This was done in
order to ensure maximum participation and to allow them to work together in
groups. The teams are Ikshana, Eleos, Insaniyat, Nanma. The venue for the 5-day
camp was set up at the college itself and the stay was arranged at Girideepam
convention center.
Now, let us take a look at the various
activities organised during the camp.
