Democracy at Aarohi means involvement
Democracy means participation
Democracy means understanding our roles
REVIEW week at Aarohi was all about time to pause and reflect – What all can add value in learning? What roles we all play? And any working of Aarohi? Many a time it does not bring any conclusion or so-called decision – but the process brings awareness and that is Aarohi about!
To use the gadget in the train or not, issue library books or not, etc. were some of the topics for our community voice – we passed few proposals, agreed on some, few we adjusted – but in all, voice of each community member was important.
Planning and Reflection are part of self-directed learning in open learning environment – review week allowed us to ponder “Why do we need? How do you add value? Any suggestions for the growth?” The session brought clarity for some, understanding for some, and value for some.
A show on what role one can play – reviewing my role in my life, people around me and their roles? It was new, it was different for many to think about their own role. Each one of us came on the stage and spoke for a minute, for one-minute others asked questions or gave feedback.
