Monthly series of talks to be inaugurated in Mumbai

We are delighted to inform you that the monthly series of talks (titled Thursday Talks) which was launched in Chennai in September 2009, is to be inaugurated in Mumbai on Thursday, January 28, 2010.


Similar to the Thursday Talks in Chennai, the talks in Mumbai will also focus on various aspects of child development, and will be open to parents, teachers and anyone with an interest in the subject. The talks will take place on the last Thursday of every month during the school academic year, and will be organised by the Indian Montessori Foundation and the Sir Ratan Tata Institute.

 

The first talk on Thursday, January 28, 2010, will be on The Psychological, Physical and Mental Development of the Human Being between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. at Harmony Montessori School, Neel Nandini, A Block, 8th Linking Road, Opp. Tanishq Showroom, Khar (West), Mumbai. The talk will be by Ms. Zarin Malva, Director of Training, Sir Ratan Tata Institute, Montessori Teacher Training Programme, and Ms. Suneeta Madnani, also of the Sir Ratan Tata Institute.

 

We hope the talks in Mumbai will be met with the same degree of enthusiasm as the ones in Chennai. We request your ongoing support in bringing together the parent and teacher community in Mumbai and providing them valuable input on various aspects of child development.


Thursday Talk in Chennai: January 2010

The next Thursday Talk in Chennai will be held on Thursday, January 28, 2010, between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. at Patasala Montessori School, 24, Ramanathan Street, Mahalingapuram, Chennai - 34. The session will be titled ‘Preparing for Adolescence – An Attempt at Understanding the Needs of the Child aged 9 to 15 years’.


The intention behind this session is to shed light on the crucial years leading up to adolescence and the initial years of adolescence from multiple perspectives. We will have four people speaking on the day, each from a unique perspective: a trainer's perspective, a teacher's perspective, a parent's perspective and an adolescent's perspective.

 

At the lecture, we will look at how a conducive environment can be created, both in the classroom and at home, for the development of the adolescent.

Attachment to other people is the first stage which brings all men to work for a common ideal. It would be good for men if society could be constructed like this, but we cannot command this. It must come from nature. If nature is the basis, the construction will be superior, but without this there can only be an artificial construction which breaks down easily.
Dr. Maria Montessori
