On the 12th and the 13th of July, Study Hall Educational Foundation (SHEF) organised its theatre festival – ‘Natyotsav’ at Sant Gadge Auditorium. Natyotsav’s ‘Yuva Manch’, which is a platform for promoting theatre among students. Since 2006, our foundation is offering various theatrical productions. The chief guest of the event was the founder of Study Hall Educational Foundation, Dr Urvashi Sahni.

The program highlighted three major plays performed by units of SHEF. It opened with ‘Sara Ka Sara Aasman’, performed by the students and alumni of Study Hall School, Prerna Girls School and Prerna Boys School. The play was about a Pakistani poetess, portraying how she loses her mind fighting the patriarchy present in most of the countries in the Indian sub-continent to pursue her passion for writing. A drama, ‘Soch Rahi Hoon’, presented by students of Vidyasthali Kanar Inter College, Malihabad, portrayed a modern-day woman who stood up against the ‘dowry practices’. The students of Prerna Girls School and Prerna Boys School enacted a poem, ‘Meri Duniya Ke Tamam Bacche’, which was about how the children across the globe can change the world if we teach them, how they can erase the differences among the nations if we let them, and how they can bring peace that the world needs. A dance performance by students of Center for Learning (CFL) ‘Sapna’, showing young dreamers.

Dr Sahni addressed the audience, saying, “Drama is a very important part of education. It provides children a safe space to rehearse life and learn to think critically, which leads to personality development.”

At the core of all these programs, the issues women face was brought to light. The audience appreciated the acting of the children. The program concluded with a vote of thanks.

Italian exchange programme 2019

Posted on by
On the 25th of April 2019, we welcomed our friends from Arezzo, Italy for a 10 days long exchange programme which has come in routine for our school. We set some goals for ourselves as to what we need to achieve from this opportunity. Keeping cross-cultural interaction as a top priority the students from Italy stayed with their studyhallian ‘buddies’ in their homes. The idea was to expose them to Indian culture as much as possible while simultaneously learning about theirs. The lot of 21 seemed to be relishing spicy food and loving the colourful vibe of the country. The Italians engaged in many comprehensive and substantial workshops at school. Daily Yoga classes emerged as a common favorite amongst them. Our extremely accomplished facility of music, fine arts and dance gave them a crash course on traditional Indian performing arts. The students hit the notes of “सा” as perfectly as they stroked the brushes to Madhubaniani folk art. The beauty of ‘Bada Imambara’ and the intricacies of ‘Chikankari’ left them in awe. On the evening of 29th April, our guests prepared mouth watering pasta for a small gathering at school. Our guests turned out to being a sporting lot as they were keen on taking up casual matches of football, volleyball and basketball with Studyhallians. Some field trips included a visit to other branches of the Study Hall Educational Foundation like ‘Vidyasthali’, ‘Study Hall Prerna’ (school for underprivileged girls), ‘Dosti’ (school for children with special needs) and ‘Gyan Setu’.
As we stand at the crossroads of human civilization we need our younger generations to be more accommodative, accepting and affluent of different cultures. We at Study Hall are proud that these values flourish in our students and prepare them to make a better tomorrow at a global scale.

Spic Macay Event

Posted on by
Study Hall Educational Foundation in association with SPIC MACAY organized a Sufi recital by the famous Padma Shri  Dr. Bharti Bandhu to promote harmony and peace in today’s discordant society through soulful Sufi music.
He mesmerized the audience by striking a chord with the students and teachers alike with the tuneful hymns of Sant Kabir and Rahim. The mellifluous renditions captivated the audience who were in a state of trance. The program began with the rendition of ‘Mann laaga mero yaar fakeeri  mein’ and culminated with ‘Chhap tilak sab chheeni tohse naina milake’.  The program was a huge success and the audience was mesmerized by the group and demanded an encore.

Sufism is a mystical and ascetic Islam practiced by tens of millions of Muslims. Known as ‘Tasawwuf’ in the Muslim world, in the West it is often erroneously thought of as a separate sect. It was a truly divine experience for all of us when Sufism lifted our spirits up and helped us connect in a larger than life way.
