Citizenship Programme initiative- Diwali art and craft workshop at MCD School

On 4 November 2026, as part of the Diwali celebrations, the Art department organised engaging art and craft workshops at the MCD School in Sadiq Nagar and in Andrews Ganj, under the guidance of art teacher Ms Parul Singh. The initiative aimed to foster creativity, collaboration and community engagement while spreading the festive spirit of Diwali.

At the MCD School, Sadiq Nagar, the students of classes VI and VII conducted an interactive art and craft workshop for the students of classes IV and V from 8.30 a.m. to 9.45 a.m. The workshop was attended by 45 students and a teacher from the host school.

Guided by Ms Parul Singh, the senior students enthusiastically assisted the younger children in crafting Diwali-themed greeting cards and decorative hangings. Through their active participation, the students demonstrated creativity, patience and effective communication skills. The teachers present also joined the activities and appreciated the students' confidence, artistic abilities and clear explanations of the craft techniques.

Meanwhile, the students of classes VI and VII conducted a similar workshop at MCD School, Andrews Ganj, guiding primary-school students in making colourful Diwali-inspired craft.

The workshop provided a stimulating platform for artistic expression, enabling the children to explore their imagination and develop their creative skills in a joyful and collaborative environment.

Both workshops were marked by enthusiasm, creativity and festive cheer, reflecting the true spirit of Diwali. Beyond celebrating the festival, the initiative provided senior students with a valuable opportunity to serve as young mentors and role models.

Through their involvement, the students developed essential life skills such as leadership, teamwork, communication, confidence and peer teaching. Their dedication and enthusiastic participation contributed significantly to making the workshops enriching and memorable experiences for the children at both schools.

The outreach initiative successfully combined creativity with community engagement, reinforcing the values of sharing, learning and collaboration that lie at the heart of the festive season.
