Report on National Online Workshop ” Incorporating Universal Human Values in Education” conducted by AICTE

This workshop was about human living (not just living with fulfilment but living with continuous fulfilment, which is the basic human aspiration).

Education is expected to facilitate and plays a crucial role in preparing the people for the realisation of these aspirations. It provides for development of the skills required and it also plays a significant role in the shaping of one’s world-view, mind-set, perspective and values.

This workshop was attended by the Counselling Psychologists, Grebian Alemao and Maya Lin Noronha, faculties of Don Bosco College of Engineering.

The topics covered were, Holistic Development and Role of Education, Understanding the Human Being – Self and Body, Harmony in the Human Being, Prosperity and Health, Understanding Relationship – Trust and Respect, Harmony in the Family, Understanding Society and  Nature.
