“Life skills are the abilities for adaptive and positive behaviour that enable individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life in the 21st century.” In today’s time it is imperative to impart life skills education to our young learners. Here at DSPS, life skills education is a part of the curriculum to ensure that students are equipped to lead a well-rounded life and become future problem solvers. Our teachers conducted daily sessions on life skills during this week to inculcate these skills in our students. The sessions were held online. The 10 core life skills education imparted were –
1. Self-awareness, session conducted by Ms Preeti Kumari
2. Empathy, session conducted by Ms Divyashree
