CAS Strands Covered: Creativity, Activity, Service<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went on a six-day school trip to Gujarat’s Dang district, Padamdungri, where I took part in a rural immersion program to learn about rural living. Throughout the trip, I participated in a range of activities that addressed all three CAS strands, such as Warli paintings, bamboo vessel making, cow dung Lipan, farming, rifle\u00c2\u00a0shooting, archery, trekking, rock climbing, rappelling, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LO 1: Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My creativity and passion of art were my biggest assets. I really loved painting the warlis, as well as constructing various stuff out of bamboo. I really enjoyed teaching and playing volleyball, frisbee, and football\u00c2\u00a0with the local school students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LO 2: Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the trip, I had a few first-time experiences. I couldn’t bring myself to perform things like cow dung lipan, which entailed handling cow poo with my bare hands. However, I realized that to understand rural living better, I needed to be uncomfortable and leave my comfort zone. This enabled me to discover self-management strategies. Other activities needed me to communicate with individuals to learn about their way of life and economic conditions, which helped me enhance my social and communication skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LO 4: Show perseverance and commitment in CAS experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immersion in a rural area was a big change for someone like me who is used to living in cities. Even though I didn’t want to engage in certain activities because I felt they were disgusting\u00c2\u00a0or because I was bored with them, I didn’t give up and finished the assignments throughout\u00c2\u00a0the six-day trip and demonstrated dedication and persistence towards CAS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LO5: Demonstrate skills and benefits of working collaboratively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary exhibit for this learning purpose was the Warli painting. We had to paint a 50-meter-long\u00c2\u00a0wall that had been assigned to us. We divided into groups and began cleaning and then\u00c2\u00a0painting the wall. Everyone\u00c2\u00a0demonstrated\u00c2\u00a0their creative ability and originality, and the painting turned out beautiful. When my buddies completed a task without any\u00c2\u00a0hesitation, even if it was something I didn’t want to do, it motivated me to do the same. The benefit of this was that I was able to push beyond\u00c2\u00a0my comfort zone by taking inspiration from others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The learner profile attributes that I developed as a result of this CAS experience is Knowledgeable since I picked up new skills and learned more about the rural culture while I was there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
