Jibrael Jos had an interactive workshop with B Sc (Data Science) students on 15th and 16th July 2019 at CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Lavasa. The two-day fun filled but highly educational workshop was amazing. The students sat on the floor and moved around comfortably while performing multiple roles. On the second day they moved to the auditorium for a creative presentation. Since his area of expertise is programming so he changed the session from CUFE plan for Data Science students. The students also presented their vision and plan for three years on the second day.



The first program was `Sociometry and Freeze’ and it was based on Graduate Attributes such as Ability to take Decision, Accept Change, Accept Direction, Attendance and Punctuality, Attitude, Compliance with Rules and how it affects Quality of Work, Cooperation and Team Player, Dependability, being Effective Under Stress, taking Initiative and showing leadership skills by Accepting Onus for one’s actions which in turn leads to overall Growth and Learning.

The next program was individual in nature and focused on Self-Introspection and Self Belief Sharing. The students felt that music acts as a therapeutic balm and helped them to feel relaxed and comfortable while doing the activity.

The main objective was to provide a two-day induction experience to help accelerate academic and personal growth and to support in creating an environment of learning and working as a group. The themes were meticulously based on Bonding, Team Work, Self-Management, Creative Expression, and Planning. It was an intervention to bring new students together as a bonded and motivated group. The entire process uses a non-classroom approach, ensuring an experiential learning of teamwork and self-management using a collage of theatre, expression, writing and art. All sessions were activity based and the students had a great time in discovering themselves and learnt to work in teams.



The overall advantage was that it helped the students know each other well, it instilled in them belief in oneself while they worked as a team. It was an excellent way to identify leaders and those who could take onus for their decisions and actions. The students were able to appreciate importance of creativity and enthusiasm and above all it made them appreciate each other’s positivity.



The entire program centered around the Vision and Mission which CHRIST upholds.
