There is no wisdom greater than Kindness


A school is a place meant for the overall development of the children. A major part of what a child learns in a day is learned in school. Learning occurs not only in the classroom taught sessions, but in numerous subtle ways throughout the day. A good school is one that only provides children with means of developing their knowledge, but also their EQ, that is the Emotional Quotient, which is as important, in fact, more important than IQ. Children should be taught not just the subjects, but also the humanitarian arts. Teaching the kids to be good human beings is of utmost importance, and the role of school in this matter cannot be emphasized enough.

Kindness Day is celebrated on the 13th of November every year, since 1998 in several countries all over the World. Kindness is perhaps the most beautiful quality in a person, a quality that seems to be wuthering in this fast-paced life, where people do not have time to spare for others. Kindness and compassion bond the millions of people on this planet. It is the basic essence of being a human. Put simply, kindness is the quality of being friendly, generous and considerate- the three pillars of human society. Hence, it is very essential that the children be made aware of what it means to be a part of something bigger, greater and wholesome.
Holistique Learning believes in inculcating this very basic quality in school children, through specially curated Kindness Activities and sessions. The impacts of such endeavors are:

·         Developing mutual respect and consideration amongst the students
·         To teach the children to be bigger than oneself, to not live in a world that revolves around only oneself.
·         To be helpful to fellow students.
·         To understand the impact of peer pressure, bullying, and such negative communal behavior.
·         To be more accepting of differently-abled kids around, and encourage peer bonding.
·         To inculcate gratitude
·         Bring a positive environment and boosted self-esteem amongst all the children.

Holistique Learning provides planned sessions for Kindness Assembly in school, to celebrate this extremely winsome character trait in the children. Using various mediums of expressions like speeches, plays, artworks, ppts, videos, interactive recreations, these Kindness Activities aim to introduce the children to the beautiful world reigned by Kindness, and all the positivity and happiness that it shall bring into the lives of every individual.

Programs with detailed schematic proceedings are specially curated for children of standard 4th to 10th, the highly flexible budding ages that requires proper molding and guidance. Holistique Learning offers customizable plans to schools, to assist in conducting Kindness Activities in The Kindness Assembly. In fact, school assemblies are an ideal place to inculcate this, as it is perhaps the first thing that the students do in the morning, and what better way to start a day than with some kindness?  It also provides an opportunity to bring together the entire school to participate in activities that are extremely necessary for the human community.
