44. Application Sessions


It is Sunday evening and Application Sessions are going on at NILS. Some glimpses into the classrooms:

Social Media Usage
Students are learning to troll and to counter trolling. They are working in groups and pairs to simulate situations of group or individual trolling and developing counter strategies.

Party Politics
The class looks like an arts class with lots of canvases and thermocol boards. The students are learning to draw political graffiti.

Family Management
The students are doing situational roleplays. There are three groups in the class, each consisting of multiple people. The teacher has given a situation to each group and a role of a particular family member to each student. The students are now doing roleplays to simulate the situations. The situations are i) a death in the family, ii) a case of an exposed extramarietal affair and iii) a family member suddenly getting a very plush job.

Office Dynamics
The students are learning tips and tricks for job interviews.

Time Management
The students are busy with the preparatory stages of a month long project they are going to take up. As a part of the project each student will conduct some form of physical activity – going to the gym, taking morning walks, yoga etc. – for a month. They are supposed to plan their daily activities in such a way that they actually find time for it.
