REPORT ON BOOK PUBLISHING WORKSHOP

“Children are like the wet mud vessels, that can be moulded into the perfect ones by the craftsmen called the books.” Books are not only the best of friends but also the best teachers of students; and when the lessons of books are combined with the activities extending beyond the realm of classrooms, the learning becomes more effective, and our school firmly supports it. With this initiative, some of the students of our school attended a workshop on BOOK PUBLISHING organised by the Cambridge University Press on 25th April 2016. Three students – SACHIN SHARMA, HARSHITA PURI and AYUSHI MEHTA accompanied by MS. KOMAL CHAWLA attended the workshop at the Indian Habitat Centre where they were taught about the life journey of a book that how it takes birth from the hands of the author and travels all the way long to come to the reader’s lap. The students also shared their great experiences and passed on the learning to their peer students. The students were enthralled by the enrapturing workshop and were out and out inspired to be the future authors and take more interest in reading various books, as well as they understood the shining virtue of books, as it is very rightly said “A ROOM WITHOUT BOOK IS A BODY WITHOUT SOUL.”
