How can the objects around a child become powerful tools for learning? This Masterclass by Swatantra Talim explores how contextual learning—using everyday objects as playful manipulatives—can foster holistic child development. By integrating play-based experiences into education, children develop creativity, problem-solving skills, and a deeper connection to their surroundings. Through demonstrations and real-world examples, the session highlights how parents and educators can use simple, accessible materials to create meaningful learning experiences. Swatantra Talim shares its best practices, showcasing how its pedagogy and Theory of Change promote hands-on, experiential learning.
