ASSET Workshop titled "The DNA of Pakistan Studies"on Saturday, December 29, 2012
Dear Members,
It is a pleasure to inform you that this month ASSET is organizing a workshop on
The DNA of Pakistan Studies
A few basic tips for learning about the
past, present and future of Pakistan
Rationale:
A few basic tips can help us
organize our knowledge about the past, present and future of Pakistan. The
workshop is based on extensive research by the resource person, some of which
has been presented recently in 2012, The Battle for Marghdeen published
by Libredux, UK.
Who
should attend?
School teachers, administrators
and curriculum designers – primarily from the subject of Pakistan Studies, but
really the workshop is for everyone because the activities presented here are
multi-disciplinary.
Components
§
Three theories about the creation
of Pakistan –
Invariably our perception of our roles in the Pakistani society depend on how
we answer the question: Why Pakistan came into being? This component of the
workshop looks at three of the most famous answers which emerged after the birth
of Pakistan; and how our destiny may depend on the answer we choose.
§
The Seven Stage Theory: This is a way of looking at the
journey of Pakistan through history in a dynamic manner, with a vision for the
future. Through some simple activities, which can be easily replicated in all
classrooms from Grade 6 to 16, participants will be given effective tools for
organizing their knowledge about the past, present and (yes) future of Pakistan
§
Bringing a little fun to the
classroom: This
component consists of simple and interesting activities for incorporating the
most popular and healthy elements of our culture, such as some of the national
songs, into the classroom. The national anthem of Pakistan and the national
song ‘Jeevay Pakistan’ are among the items which will be explored in this
workshop for discovering new meanings (and depth) unknown before – surprises
guaranteed!
