Faith Bangladesh & Brighter Life School
(In collaboration with Favicryl)

Background

Training plays a vital role in enhancing creativity, problem-solving, and skill-building. In today’s world, where education is not only about academics but also about developing life skills, arts and crafts emerge as a powerful medium of self-expression and learning. Creative activities not only bring joy but also strengthen fine motor skills, concentration, patience, and independence, especially for children with special needs.

To promote creative teaching and parenting practices, Faith Bangladesh and Brighter Life School, in collaboration with Favicryl, are organizing a hands-on training program titled “Craft & Create: Explore Your Creativity.” This training is specially designed for teachers and parents to enhance their creative abilities and to apply these skills meaningfully in classrooms and at home.
