CPB Prism

Our arts curriculum continues its journey across Uttar Pradesh this academic year!

This June, CPB Prism convened over 40 Resource Persons from across the state for an online refresher workshop. The session was packed with hands-on activities, creative exploration, and rich discussions that deepened understanding of the curriculum and its classroom practice.

Equipped with practical tools and resources, participants then went on to train 165 fellow Resource Persons and 10 Cluster Coordinators. This cascade model is strengthening a growing network of educators committed to delivering engaging, arts-based learning experiences for students from Grades 1 to 8 across the state.

We look forward to seeing classrooms come alive with creativity, expression, and meaningful learning through the arts in the year ahead.

CPB Prism and Yein Udaan have been partnering to bring art, photography, creativity, and self-expression to students. In the last academic year, CPB conducted two successful programs with Yein Udaan students the art-based SEL Program, where students explored their emotions, reflected on their personal journeys, and brought their feelings to life on paper and a Photography Workshop, where students explored observation, storytelling, perspective, and their everyday surroundings through the lens of a camera.

Through this partnership, students were able to explore themselves, develop creative thinking and visual literacy skills, reflect more deeply on their identities and experiences, and engage with art as a meaningful medium for communication and personal growth.

Here are a few highlights of the summer photography workshop, where students from different schools and grades, to explore photography, storytelling and the arts thrrough a five-day learning experience
