Building & BaLA Initiatives

Building as Learning Aid (BaLA)

Introduction of BaLA

BaLA is about innovatively treating the space and the built elements to
make the existing school architecture more resourceful with higher
educational value in a child friendly manner.
BaLA is a way to holistically Plan and use the school Infrastructure. It
incorporates the ideas of activity based learning, child friendliness and
inclusive education for children with special needs (CWSN). At the
core, it assumes that the architecture of school can be a resource for the
teaching-learning processes.
There are two levels of this intervention:-

1. Develop the SPACES to create varied teaching-learning situations.
2. Develop the BUILT ELEMENTS in these spaces as teaching-learning aids.
