Apart from all this activity, they can also enjoy children’s films in German.

These workshops will be conducted by Indian and German experts.

This is the sixth year that the Goethe-Zentrum, the German Language and Culture Centre situated at Palayam is conducting these workshops. Going by the enthusiastic response and the delighted feedback that we got in the past five years, the children of Trivandrum can look forward to a unique experience this year too.
We invite your child to come and discover together with us how creative her/his world can be!

Summer Camp@ Bodhi School

This is what Bodhi School has to say about their summer camp to be held in Trivandrum in April, 2014

As exams are coming to an end and the temperatures soaring high already, parents must be thinking about ways to engage their child for vacation. Make this summer productive, educative and fun filled for your child by introducing them to Bodhi summer camp. In its third consecutive year of summer camp, Bodhi has been exuberating with energy and life skill developmental activities for children of all ages. We have separate activities for various age groups. This will help us organise activities that are interesting and fun for them which also help in their overall development. As always spoken English and public speaking is a part of Bodhi way. They will be introduced to our good old traditional games like ‘eerkili kali’ etc. Dancing and learning magic will add more vigour and energy too! We give them an opportunity to learn from the best child friendly trainers in Trivandrum! We add variety and interesting techniques for older kids in their pre-teens that help coach them in various life skills like self-defence in Kung Fu, cooking skills, planting vegetables and flower beds etc. As we introduced them to jewellery making like simple studs and anklets and bracelets last year, this year it will be the trendy terracotta and quil art jewellery. We also plan to help them use these life skills to market their crafts and cooking skills during the Parents meet at the end of summer camp. The proceeds will go to the needy. So make the right decision by giving your child the right avenue to enjoy and do some cool activities this summer. Sit back and relax to watch them bloom this summer!

An animated lesson of pure entertainment and illusion

Their wide grimace said it all! They were just getting back to the real world after being taken for a joy ride in to the world of animation and illusion. Kidsfest 2014 organised by Toonz Animation in association with NATANA – the arts club of Technopark, for the kids of Technopark employees saw huge participation of around 100.
Organised as part of the 15th Anniversary celebrations of Toonz, the fest aimed at providing a learning experience to the kids while having fun with animation, illusion and creative images. “This fest kick-starts the year-long celebrations as part of our 15th anniversary and there is no better way than to start with an enthusiastic bunch of youngsters. We aimed to give the kids a basic understanding of animation and how their favourite characters come to life in the screen.” said P Jayakumar, CEO of Toonz Media group. Credited with the creation of popular cartoon characters like Tenali Raman, Kid Krish and Hanuman, kids have always remained as the fulcrum of Toonz and hence the rationale for this fest, adds Jayakumar.

The animation workshop was handled by Prosenjit Ganguly an alumnus and former member of the faculty of NID, Ahmedabad. PJ as he is fondly called, showcased the different techniques of animation and the painstaking process through which a cartoon show is born. The session on illusion and magic was handled by Raja Moorthy who is the Director of the Academy of Magical Science in Kerala. He enchanted the kids with a blend of illusion and humour providing them a magical experience.
