Colorss Foundation Develops Children’s Personality

Fun Facts  :  Colorss Foundation Develops Children’s Personality

In today’s Fun Facts, we focus on the efforts Colorss Foundation is taking to help children develop their personalities to become future leaders of the next generation. 

 Why Develop Personality?

As compared to other social problems in India such as illiteracy and health concerns, the lack of personality development seems hardly pressing.

Yet, Colorss Foundation has realised the long-term implications of an under-developed personality, which can lead to low self-confidence and an absence of self-image within a child. India’s social strata today has little place for a female child that shies away from social situations.

Although women participation in India’s entrepreneurial field is increasing at a considerable rate, there remains much room for them to achieve an equality of opportunity with their male counterparts. With the women sector occupying nearly 45% of India’s population, the next generation of women in India needs to be better equipped in skill and personality development to make an impact.

How Does Colorss Develop Personality?

Colorss Foundation nips this problem in the bud by encouraging its students to be more expressive and confident at a young age. In its workshops, Colorss students are pushed to express their thoughts and feelings in their own words. These thoughts are then presented to the rest of the class through a short play.

          Colorss Foundation places a strong premium on respecting children’s thoughts. Their opinions are highly valued and are taken into consideration while activities are being conducted.

An example is when students were introduced to the “Sudoku” puzzle matrix. While they were being taught the rules behind solving the puzzle, the moderators were aware of how many children were able to grasp the concepts and how many were not. Students were also challenged to come forward and help solve the puzzle on the blackboard. Their enthusiasm and eagerness to express their thoughts to the entire class caught the moderators by surprise. Towards the end of the exercise, the students did not hesitate to express their growing weariness with the exercise.

Confident and Intelligent

By taking into consideration the feelings of the students while providing them with knowledge, Colorss Foundation cultivates children that are intelligent and yet confident enough in expressing their thoughts and feelings to others.

With this continued effort, Colorss Foundation hopes to develop children with positive emotionality and sociability. In the short-term, this will lead to peer acceptance, social achievement and psychological well-being. In the long-term, children at an older age will be confident enough to address the education, health and gender inequality problems within India’s society.
