As a mark of celebrating the 150th Birth anniversary of Sri Aurobindo & 75th Year of India’s Independence, AuroBharati, on the eve of International Museum Day, invite all for a special lecture on “Museums for Education.”

Museums are pathways that take us on a journey from the past to the present and the anticipated future. But while these are of interest to a traveller, tourist and researcher, they are hardly used by an educator. Can museums be of any use in education? While no one would say NO, the real question is HOW? Let’s ponder on this by sharing experiments, experiences and explorations.

Shri Pradeep Ghosh, Founder and Advisor: OASIS - A Social Innovations Lab and also Co-Founder and Advisor: Atal Incubation Centre - Aartech (AIC), Co-Founder: SWANS & NAYAV Volunteers Associations, Collaborative Holistic Schooling (CoHoS) community and Schools of Unconventional Learning (SOUL) will deliver this lecture.

His model, called ‘The Museum School’, won UNESCO Asia-Pacific Education Innovation Award 2016. Budding social entrepreneurs mentored by the Lab have received national acclaim.

The Museum School is among the 100 global Inspiring Innovations that are changing the face of K12 education today. The Museum School has addressed all components of quality education: Infrastructure, Teaching Aids, and Qualified and trained teachers.

This lecture is on Wednesday, 18 May 2022, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 Noon.
