The four-day Earth
Venture Camp for neurodivergent students, organised by KiiT-IS SEN Globe,
concluded on a vibrant and meaningful note, with the final day coinciding with
the celebration of International Women’s Day. The event brought together
students, parents, educators and staff members in a joyful and inspiring
celebration of inclusion, creativity and empowerment.
The celebration was
graced by the presence of the Honourable Founder of KIIT, KISS and KIMS, Prof.
Achyuta Samanta, who lauded the dedication, resilience and strength of the
women associated with the SEN Globe community. He acknowledged the tireless
efforts of mothers, educators and team members who continuously nurture,
support and empower neurodivergent children. Emphasising their invaluable role,
he noted that their compassion, patience and unwavering commitment form the
foundation of an inclusive and supportive learning environment.
Addressing the
gathering, Chairperson Dr. Mona Lisa Bal reflected on the journey of womanhood
and motherhood, highlighting both the challenges and the immense inner strength
that define these roles. She spoke about how being a mother and a woman often
requires extraordinary patience, courage and compassion, yet remains one of the
most powerful and inspiring forces in shaping lives and building brighter
futures. On the occasion, three dedicated support staff members were also
felicitated in recognition of their invaluable contributions and quiet yet
impactful dedication to the institution.
The Earth Venture
Camp itself was conceptualised as an engaging and experiential learning journey
for the students. Over the past three days, children actively participated in a
wide range of activities including art and craft, vocational skill development,
creative expression, sensory-based learning sessions and collaborative tasks.
These activities were thoughtfully designed to encourage confidence, independence
and teamwork among the students while nurturing their creativity and practical
skills.
The initiative also
underscored the importance of neurodiversity and special education by creating
a supportive and inclusive environment where every child’s unique abilities
were recognised, celebrated and encouraged through innovative learning
practices.
The final day
concluded with a lively fun fair, colourful cultural performances and an
exhibition of the children’s creative works, where parents and guests had the
opportunity to witness the remarkable talent, enthusiasm and dedication of the
students.
The event came to a
heartwarming close as the entire community gathered to celebrate not only the
achievements and progress of the children but also the spirit of empowerment,
inclusion and compassion that defined the occasion, leaving everyone with a
deep sense of pride, gratitude and hope for the future.
