I HATE ATTENDING DAILY LECTURES
College life felt so heavy on Monday when you realise you have classes from the morning 10 am to 4 pm all day in went to attend being late or miss the lecture was a big deal. The whole point was attendance
The daily wake-up routine between me and my friend goes like this:
Are you coming to class?
Did you complete that assignment?
Do you have notes from the last lecture?
Share the notes!
Marked attendance ?
Did you reach?
Where are you?
Canteen!)
For months and semesters, this kept following up like a loophole for once in decades; that time period of college came where no one was absent; each and every student was present there, not with laziness or tiredness but Energy and Enthusiasm
Every college has groups like societies for dancing, media, theatre, singing, or bands. They were created to change that boring, academic-oriented period into fests, functions, or grand events organised by students, with participation and certificates — the perk you'll get is experience as well as appreciation
I think if these societies didn't exist, we were gonna be die af bored in completing long semesters
We have different societiessocieties for different activities: cultural to look after performances, dance-singing, Theatre society for drama acts, Fine arts for poster competitions, painting and art, poetry, stand-up, love the air of the function
It's no less than a festival for college students

I guess College must be created to explore your inner appetite because these events and societies help
Students explore and learn a lot more than in hours of lectures, as I mentioned once; experiential learning is the most powerful way to make learning faster and easier
Imagine 100s of young people at one event. So, recently, Pehchaan the Street School participated in a speaker session organised by Girl Up Society; it’s a society from Miranda House College. They organised this speaker session in collaboration with us, Pehchaan the Street School, and we participated. The session included a felicitation ceremony, introductions, and a few activities that brought the students and the organisation together. Certificates and Pehchaan The Street school bags were also given to the Girl Up Society Union members as part of the interaction.
Alongside the session, the Pehchaan the Street School stall was also set up at the event for 3-4 hours. This gave students a chance to interact with us and understand our work; maybe some students got the opportunity to work as a volunteer or writing Intern with Pehchaan the Street School learning centres.
Overall, the Event and function was a great Opportunity for real interaction with students, and their perspective and engagement through the speaker session as well. Stall setup gave two of us the opportunity to come along through collaboration with Girl Up Society
We love to give such an experience to the students and volunteers working with us through different collaborations that vary with every new organization, business, or corporate company
