What does your dream campus look like?
We asked our future learners across India, how they’d like their learning surroundings to be? This was part of an initiative, Jaga, an awakening, to foster a genuine love for learning. The responses were enlightening and incredibly inspiring, shaping the very foundations of our new campus.
“I would like some real trees in my classroom”
Nature is integrated into the fabric of our space from the inside out. Classrooms opens to outdoor learning environments and windows turn nature into a backdrop. Every classroom has a skylight.
“Can the campus be eco-friendly?”
Our campus serves as a living lesson of a sustainable structure. It is designed with locally sourced materials that enhance the natural light and air and minimise carbon footprints.
“Imagine, if all classrooms looked like art rooms!”
We worked with local artisans to showcase different cultural art forms across the campus. The dynamic and interactive class spaces are meant to spark artistic exploration. The raw, rustic look is to foster artistic expression int he learners.
“Spreading the library in multiple spots would be nice.”
Tapas library is more than just one room, it is a combination of multiple nooks spread across the campus. A simple re-structure has made knowledge and stories very accessible for our learners.
“I sometimes like a quiet space. Like a zen area.”
Our classspaces are flexible and support many activities: study seminars, meditation workshops, reflection sessions and art workshops. So the learners and facilitators can make it their own anytime. Each classroom has a breakout space adjoining it!
OUR HAVEN, OUR CAMPUS
When you step into Tapas spaces, you will feel something is missing; it's the walls. No, not the actual walls but the barriers that we build around us. Our warm approach allows learners to engage with the facilitators or even the core team easily without hesitation.
The facilitators support learners in their unconventional ideas during the activities and play with the right guidance. This support also means that learners are crafting and directing their own learning journeys in their own unique way. Being close to nature, having easy access to mentors, and making your own mistakes are what keep Tapas realm unique and beneficial for children’s growth.
Imagine getting up in the morning to find your kids ready at the front door to leave for school.
