Kankinara Faculty training week 19 report (15th Feb 2026)

The 19th week of the Kankinara Faculty and Training Programme focused on expanding academic horizons through historical narratives and spatial awareness. The week’s sessions were designed to help faculty experience how to conduct integrated classes where geography and history are taught through engaging storytelling and visual exploration, keeping students actively involved and motivated.

Two faculty members from Kankinara attended the session and brought two of their students as well. All participants attended the class together, creating a lively and interactive learning environment. During the session, they explored the vastness of the Solar System and delved into the historical significance of the Battle of Palashi. This helped reinforce how complex subjects like planetary science and regional history can be effectively linked with narrative-based learning and contextual understanding.

A key highlight of the week was the special session conducted by Ms. Ujjoyini, who introduced participants to basic textile handcraft. Students were guided to create floral patterns using fundamental stitching techniques on cloth, learning how to transform simple threads into decorative designs. The session encouraged creativity, patience, and fine motor skills, while also showing how needlework and craft-based learning can be incorporated into classroom engagement.

Overall, the 19th week of the Kankinara Faculty Training Programme brought a refreshing blend of academic and creative learning. The participants, especially the students, felt joyful and happy during the sessions, and the atmosphere remained energetic and positive throughout. The week supported faculty development by demonstrating how innovative activities and interactive teaching can make classroom learning more enjoyable and effective.
