Get into your Groups!

Today was Thursday, a.k.a The Exhibition Day!
We started off with the Bus Stop activity, where we were divided into six groups, for the six issues. I was with Aman, Ayan and Sai Priya. What we did, was to shift from station to station - where on each one there was a chart on a particular issue. It had the definition, and we had to fill in the blank spaces for 'For and Against'. We jotted down many points (all that we could think of) in every chart, and used a lot of thinking skills.
Next, each of us got a sheet - where we had to write the issues and our big idea about them. After that, I paired up with Sai Vishwas, and we discussed our points. I wrote down my new ideas in another column.
Consequently, we did prioritizing of the issues. Of course, my priority issues were Wildlife Conservation and Human Rights. We had to write down all the questions that came to our mind and the related concepts.
Now, we divided the groups. Luckily, I got Human Rights! :) My group has Aashraya, Saifan, Sazil and Parinita, with me as the Leader. We had a deep and thoughtful discussion on the issue, where we decided about the key concepts. They were - Responsibility, Perspective and Causation.
Then, we formed our own central ideas. Mine was chosen and is as follows : Rights and responsibilities play a role in people's lives and impact their thinking along with their lifestyle.
At last, together we made a Mother Central ideas. A few of us put in our ideas based on the key words. My central idea that covered all the topics was - 'People come together and initiate action for solving issues and live sustainably.' 
It was indeed, a ZESTFUL, MIND-BOGGLING Day!! :D
