      "I HEAR AND I FORGET_ SEE AND ' REMEMBERI DO AND I UNDERSTAND."EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING:"We will learn no matter what! Learning is as natural as rest or play. With or without books,inspiring trainers or classrooms, we will manage to learn.Educators can, however make a difference in what people learn and how well they learn it. If we know why we are learning and if the reason fits our needs as we perceive them, we will learn quickly and deeply."I recently conducted the teachers training session on Experiential Learning in Shanti Asiatic School, Ahmedabad with 70+ teachers attendees from grade 1 to 4… received the best responses, a big thanks to the enthusiastic teachers participants and Shanti Asiatic School, Ahmedabad for giving me this beautiful opportunity.
