The Khaitan School, Noida, had the pleasure of hosting an enriching and thoughtfully designed workshop by Camlin on October 1, 2026. The workshop brought together more than 80 teachers from various schools, creating a wonderful platform for learning, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas. While the session introduced participants to art materials, colours, techniques, and hands-on activities, its most meaningful takeaway was a powerful reminder of the role teachers play in nurturing children’s creativity, confidence, and individuality.
In today’s competitive world, children often measure their abilities against those of their peers. Statements such as “I did not come first” or “I am not good at drawing” can gradually affect their confidence and discourage them from exploring their creative interests. The Camlin workshop highlighted the importance of changing this mindset by helping children understand that art is not about winning or losing, but about self-expression, exploration, and the joy of creating something of their own.
The session encouraged teachers to create an environment where children feel free to experiment with colours, express their thoughts, and discover their individual strengths without the fear of making mistakes. It emphasised that every child has a unique creative voice and deserves the encouragement to develop it. In a world where competition often takes centre stage, art can provide children with the space to pause, breathe, explore, and reconnect with themselves.
An equally valuable aspect of the workshop was its focus on experiential learning. Through interactive exercises and practical activities, teachers explored different art materials, learnt about the appropriate use of colours, and compared Camlin products with other colours available in the market. The session also introduced participants to upcoming camps, future workshops, and exciting new colour products planned by Camlin.
The hands-on activities offered teachers an opportunity to experience the learning process from a student’s perspective. While guiding children, teachers often encourage them to follow instructions or try a particular technique. However, attempting the same activities themselves helped participants recognise that even seemingly simple tasks can sometimes be challenging. This realisation reinforced the importance of patience, empathy, and encouragement in the classroom. It reminded teachers that children learn at different paces and need the freedom to explore, make mistakes, and improve through practice.
Beyond the learning activities, the workshop was a joyful and interactive experience that brought educators from different schools together. Participants shared their experiences, exchanged ideas, and gained fresh perspectives on making art education more engaging and meaningful for children.
The Khaitan School, Noida, extends its heartfelt gratitude to Camlin for organising such an inspiring and enriching workshop. The session went beyond colours and artistic techniques, offering a deeper message about the importance of creativity, self-belief, and emotional well-being in a child’s development.
The workshop concluded with a renewed understanding that teachers are not simply guiding children towards achievement; they are also helping them discover their potential and develop the confidence to express themselves. By encouraging creativity rather than constant competition, educators can help children find their own path, embrace their individuality, and grow with confidence.
The Khaitan School looks forward to more such opportunities for professional development, collaborative learning, and creative exploration that empower teachers to shape confident, curious, and well-rounded learners.
celebration concluded with a powerful reminder that true freedom comes with responsibility, and every citizen has a role to play in building a stronger, kinder and more united India.
