The workshop was to train the students in necessary skills in performing street plays. The resource person Mrs. Prashanti Talpankar took the students through stages of voice training, voice modulation, posture, facial, expression, etc. She also discussed the techniques of attracting crowds to the performance and holding their attention. The students were asked to decide on a topic to enact, at the end of the day. Thereafter, the students were divided into four groups and asked to discuss and decide one issue they would like to enact. Once they decided the topics, they were briefed on how to write out a script and perform it. After discussion, debate and practice the students put up an interesting performance on issues of street children in Mapusa. The resource person applauded the performance and said she was impressed with the students' originality and acting. At the valedictory session, Ms. Angelica Fernandes, treasurer of the cell presented Ms. Talpankar with a potted plant and offered the vote of thanks. The programme was coordinated by Ms. Rizwana Sayed, Convenor of the Child Welfare Cell.
