Reflection Day 1

The students of School of social work took hiatus from the hustle and bustle of academics and gathered for a full-day workshop titled' Reflection, a road trip '

The workshop began at 9.45 a.m with prayer led by Ms.Shirlene Maben and the team. The gathered audience was cordially welcomed by the president of UG student council, Ms. Angel Roshni. The warm welcome was followed by the delivery of the presidential address by the Vice Principal of School of social work, Dr. Jenis Mary. Ms. Sofia Dhamani, College Counsellor, Nirmala Institute of Education, Panaji, Goa was introduced by the Cultural Secretary of UG student council, Ms. Fathima.

The session was then handed over to Ms. Sofia. After having built a rapport with the audience, Ms. Sofia led the session forward by talking about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). The workshop was dotted with interactive questionnaires and the students actively answered them. This was followed by answering of the Adverse Childhood Experience questionnaire. The next topic which was discussed was IKIGAI, during which the students filled the ikigai wheel. Ms. Sofia spoke about the importance of communication through transactional analysis and the students were made to answer a questionnaire which enabled them to understand their own selves better and mark out the areas they need to work on. The workshop then focused on stress management where students charted their thoughts and organised them in a systematic manner. A questionnaire pertaining to identification strength and resources was also solved. For the last activity, the crowd was divided into smaller groups and dispersed to various rooms. There, they answered a self-discovery questionnaire. The questionnaire was then exchanged anonymously multiple times and anonymous relievers remarked the answered questions with a positive attitude. After 4 rounds of sniffling, the questionnaire was returned to the rightful owner. This questionnaire really helped the students to introspect themselves. The session came to an end with the vote of thanks by Ms. Zainab , the general secretary of the School of Social Work, Roshni Nilaya.
