VITAL, which stands for Value Integrated Teaching and Learning, is a Movement that was initiated by Anandashram situated in Kanhangad, Kerala, in late 2012. The prime movers were a group of volunteers who believed in promoting Value Education through a unique method of integrating constitutional values into academics, without treating it as a separate subject, as is the general practice.
VITAL Vision:
Every individual in the Society transforms from ‘Me’ to ‘We’
Mission:
Movement to Integrate Citizenship values into academic subjects
Intent:
Introduce one value to the students in every class/session, on every subject, using VITAL Components.
VITAL Component:
Content that integrates ‘Values’ into ‘Academics’.
VITAL approach:
- Motivating Teacher-educators, B.Ed. students and the teaching fraternity to integrate values in their teachings, and enable students to understand its importance in daily life.
- Strengthen and create awareness among the present generation for an inherent understanding of the values that are enshrined in the Constitution of India.
- Encourage teaching and learning methods to make it more experiential, joyous and expansive.
