Organized by the Sleepwell Foundation, an enlightening workshop on Perception and Communication was held for the teachers of Navyug School, Sarojini Nagar, New Delhi. 76 dedicated teachers participated in this enriching event, which aimed to empower them with the essential tools for effective communication.

The workshop was an interactive and engaging experience, with a particular focus on fostering better understanding and communication among educators. It included three interesting role-play sessions, each designed to address different aspects of effective communication:

The first role-play centered on the art of greetings. Participants were shown three distinct ways to say "Hello! How are you?" while emphasizing the critical role that tone and body language play in conveying one's confidence and demonstrating the power of non-verbal cues in communication.

The second act was dedicated to showcasing the importance of empathy in listening. Teachers were given a chance to step into the shoes of both the speaker and the listener to better understand the nuances of empathetic communication. This exercise aimed to enhance their ability to connect with students on a deeper level.

The third act placed a strong emphasis on the significance of eye contact and body language in effective communication. Participants actively engaged in exercises that underscored how maintaining eye contact and using expressive body language can make a significant difference in conveying messages accurately and confidently.

The workshop culminated with the facilitators providing valuable tips and techniques for mastering the art of effective communication, helping the teachers further refine their skills.

The teachers were not only highly appreciative of the workshop's content but also thoroughly enjoyed the interactive nature of the event. They expressed their gratitude and satisfaction, emphasizing that the insights and techniques acquired would undoubtedly benefit them both in the classroom and in their personal lives.
