Teachers understood how to combine different colours, how 3 dimensional objects / designs can be created in an easy way with creativity, making different borders, lanterns and flowers from colourful paper etc . All the teachers collectively created and modified their bulletin boards in a fun and creative manner. It was an interactive and insightful workshop.
