Location: Online

Few books remain as timeless as ‘Animal Farm’. As a book that deals with powerful issues such as ‘power’, ‘inequality’, ‘leadership’, and ‘ community’, it remains as relevant today as it did in the 1940s. Join Joy of Anubhava and Champaca as we engage with this book through a ‘virtual’ workshop for adults using storytelling, role plays, photos, writing, debates, and music.

This workshop provides you the opportunity to authentically connect with other individuals who love this book as well. Through this two-hour online workshop, we not only deep dive into the storyline and the characters but also time travel with them. Get ready to answer thought-provoking “what if” questions, to meet new people, and above all have fun dabbling with different art forms as we explore a classic book!

- A personalized digital scrapbook of all the work done during the workshop

- Become part of a global community of book lovers

- Enhance your critical thinking, creativity, and ability to empathize

- A different take on the book

- Zoom- We will use zoom for this workshop, and we request you to install this plugin

- “Really great way to inculcate the habit of reading for those who want to pick it up. Also opens up your mind in terms of different perceptions and ways of thinking. I personally loved the workshop!”

- “Cannot think of a better way to explore a book. Superb. Don’t miss out.”
