I express my sincere gratitude to Lalit Vikamshi, Director, Alag Angle Studio, Nagpur, India, Shweta Bhattad, an acclaimed artist and philanthropist, initiator of I Have A Dream Project and Gram Art Project, and last but not the least, Aditi Bhattad, art educator and artist, for assisting me in conducting the workshop with Grade 6-9 students from Government & Gurukul High School, Paradsinga, India.

Government & Gurukul High School are two of the three high schools in the village. I conducted a workshop for a total of 16 students, eight boys and eight girls from each group of Grade 6-9 students along with two teachers, one male, and one female, the reason being to eliminate the barriers of the male-female divide that emerges during adolescent years, particularly in a country like India. I used the art of storytelling and game to work around such challenges.
