AIR FORCE SCHOOLAGRA celebrated ‘Creative Week’ from 26/07/21 to 30/07/21.According to UNESCO, “the encouragement of creativity from an early age is one of the best guarantees of growth in a healthy environment of self-esteem and mutual respect – critical ingredients for building a culture of peace.” Creativity is an elusive and contested concept. There have been many attempts to define it. Creativity has been described as ‘a state of mind in which all our intelligences are working together’ (Lucas, 2001) and as ‘the ability to solve problems and fashion products and to raise new questions’ (Gardner, 1993).

The theme of the Week is Protect Tiger & Conserve Forests. On July28, 2021, on the occasion of ‘World Nature Conservation Day’,Conservation means the wise use of the earth and its resources for the lasting good of men.’ Air Force  School organized various activities for all the classes to instill in the students, the feeling of warmth and affection towards nature. The main objective of the event was to increase awareness about the best practices to conserve our natural resources and encourage sustainability.  On July 29, 202, on the occasion of ‘International Tiger Day’, is celebrated. The tiger is not only our national animal but a symbol of the ecosystem. As a top predator, wild tigers play an important role in maintaining the harmony of the planet’s ecosystems. Tiger being an umbrella species, its presence indicates the health of terrestrial ecosystem and declining tiger habitats indicates the depletion of life

The bells have now stopped jingling on enthusiastic dancers’ legs; the headdresses have been admired; paint has dried and fabulous posters displayed, as once again we celebrated the children’s wonderful art work. . A plethora of activities were conducted during the week. Each activity aimed at sensitizing the students to the fact that every aspect of life is intertwined and so everything needs to be looked at holistically.
