Short Take - GULF TODAY - Dt. 27.11.2010 - Creative Kids

Creative kids

This was a busy week in which the UAE witnessed the visit of Indian President Prathibha Devising Patil.

A few days prior to her visit, Nov.14 to celebrate Children’s Day, a painting competition was organised by the Cultural Wing of the India Embassy. The event was held at Abu Dhabi Indian School. About 1,400 children from various schools in the UAE participated in this well organised event.

The senior participants were to choose any of the four themes - children of the world, save the girl child, the independence movement and the joys of childhood. Grades 1 to 4 pupils were given the themes of “Chacha Nehru” and “my school.” What made interesting insight into this event was the way the organisers made sure to make the children feel the presence of Jawaharlal Nehru. Those children who participated in the event thoroughly enjoyed it as they were well taken care of during the event.

Interests in non-performing arts like painting, drawing and writing give opportunity for children to express their mind and thoughts in simpler ways. Any given opportunity to conduct and showcase such talents should never be missed.

According to the organisers, the painting competition would be conducted every year.

One interesting factor came out of this competition was the fact that out of the 12 winners, 11 were girls and there was only one boy amongst the winners. Sunrise English Private School Abu Dhabi (4 prizes) came out with maximum winners followed by Abu Dhabi Indian School (3 prizes) and Delhi Private School Dubai (3 prizes). St Joseph School Abu Dhabi and Gulf Asian School Sharjah bagged one price each.

An icing on the cake for the winners was that the Indian president distributed the prizes during her visit to Abu Dhabi Indian School.

Celebrate Christmas 2009 and New Year 2010 with Talent share






An unexpected live on air interview with Anirudh of 89.1 Radio 4 FM has given me an opportunity to showcase the recent submissions and the objective of Talent Share initiatives.

Enjoy their presentations as you listen to me online in this video.

The journey till now has been the result of a dedicated and sustained effort, with interest from a group of children and their parents. Many times, when I visit schools, I see excellent pictures displayed on the notice boards. After a few weeks, many of them disappear from there to nowhere. I repeat my call to all arts and crafts teachers, parents and schools about http://www.talentshare.blogspot.com/. It is very simple, all the creative works by children, whether it is a poem, short story, coloring, sketching or art work or even a project, please send to Talent Share. Just take a scan, or a photo and email it to me at team1dubai@gmail.com or even upload it directly at Talent Share Fan page on Face Book.

The joy for them to see their work is immense. The inspiration achieved to greater things from then on is tremendous and have to be experienced. It will then be part of a history. A history that is being created by our own efforts. A display of writings, and art works. Children of this world is slowly getting affected by SMS (Short Message) syndrome. We have to take proper guard at the appropriate time.

Spread the word around, enjoy visiting with your friends and families and encourage those who participate. As the language slip happened during this interview, this is a match between the have’s and have not’s. And if we have a chance, we will create a world full of have’s.

God bless and have a great journey ahead.

Dear Fans and members of Talent Share,

I am happy for the participation and encouragements each members are getting here, when they post their creative work. I also note the improvement each time they present. Based on suggestions and feedback from members, we have now decided to extend the deadline of the "Celebrate Christmas 2009 with Talent Share" online competition to 3rd January 2010. We feel this will give an opportunity for children to observe more closely the Christmas and New Year activities they see around and come out with more creative submissions. All the best in advance and look forward to more participation.
