Summer Heritage Programme - 2024

Heritage Classrooms

The “ITIHAAS Heritage Classroom” is an 8-10 session intervention, allowing students to dive deep into the selected area of study. It encourages critical thinking, builds sensitivity to diversity and generates knowledge through self / independent learning. Each programme includes a field visit (The ITIHAAS learning module) and multiple experiential activities. ITIHAAS will give each student a learning kit and activitiy material. The teachers get a manual and the activitiy kit.

Post COVID, we at ITIHAAS, felt the need to go beyond giving students the opportunity to visit a heritage site, but instead developed a 8-10 session classroom on various topics connected to curriculum, but going beyond as well. This includes a site visit, but also sessions in school. The in school sessions are taken by a teacher and ITIHAAS arranges the site visit, a guest lecture online/offline and invites your representative to a final closing event where they are certified.

This being our 20th year, ITIHAAS offers to you, our 10 sessions in school intervention called JAL-ITIHAAS, in collaboration with the National Water Mission, Govt of India. A school gets a BLUE SCHOOL certificate and selected water ambassadors get certificates by the mission.

THIS PROGRAMME IS BEING OFFERED FREE OF COST WITH ANY ONE OF THE FOLLOWING HERITAGE CLASSROOMS.
