After touring the exhibition, Yhome expressed his appreciation for the students' creativity, particularly in storytelling.
He noted that many students narrated stories drawn from their real-life experiences, and added that storytelling not only enhances creativity but also nurtures empathy, kindness, and a sense of care among learners.
He lauded the integration of skills and curriculum showcased through the projects and encouraged the organisers and partners to expand such initiatives across all schools in Nagaland, and encouraged students to continue learning through creative expressions, as even simple concepts like shapes introduce new vocabulary and enhance understanding of the world.
The advisor also commended the Samagra team for their work in improving language and numeracy fluency through micro-level initiatives.
Yhome further expressed happiness over the creativity and innovation displayed by the students, noting that such experiential learning not only enhances their skills but also prepares them to meet the diverse demands of the modern world.
