Katha Utsav is about writing a story or a poem; it’s about improving your writing skills. One of the most potent elements of the Katha National Writers’ Workshop is its focus on hands-on learning and skill enhancement.
What Do Kids Learn?
- Constructive Criticism: The workshops provide young writers with constructive feedback on their work. This helps them understand their strengths and areas for improvement, allowing them to grow as writers.
- Collaborative Learning: Writing can often be a solitary activity, but Katha fosters an environment of collaboration. Kids interact with mentors and fellow participants, enhancing their ability to see their work from different perspectives.
- New Techniques and Styles: The workshops introduce children to different writing styles, literary devices, and storytelling techniques they might not have encountered in school. Whether they learn how to set the tone, build suspense, or develop compelling dialogue, kids leave the workshops with a more robust writing toolbox.
Katha’s workshops focus on technical skills and creativity, ensuring that every participant walks away with new insights into their writing process.
