Parent Workshops
March 30, 2008

Steven Rudolph has completed a number of successful workshops for parents in the Delhi area. These include DLF School (Sahibabad), the Maxfort School (Dwarka) and Happy English Public School (Rishabh Vihar). In the seminars Mr. Rudolph discussed his Laws of Learning for parents. First, he provided practical advice on how to identify the nature of a child through Multiple Intelligences and Ayurvedic body typing, and explained how such tools enable parents to create a successful life-path for their children. Success comes, he stated, by involving children in activities according to their intelligence types (e.g., linguistic, logical, musical, visual, bodily, interpersonal, intrapersonal and naturalistic), and by ensuring they eat diets according to their 'doshas' (i.e., vata, pitta, kapha). He then explained how spending quality time with kids makes a significant impact on their lives. For this he demonstrated how to connect with children who seem distant by making more meaningful conversations that engage the brain and the child's emotions.

India’s First Battle of the Brains
56 Students Go Head to Head in Multiple Intelligence Competition
Feb 12, 2008

56 students from all over India competed in the 2nd Annual Multiple Intelligences Kids Challenge at the Air Force Auditorium in New Delhi. The event, promoted by Primary Plus and Jiva Education, challenged these contestants ages 7-12 to demonstrate not “how smart they are”, but “how they are smart” through a series of complex mental and physical activities.

The participants were selected from over 10,000 children in 15 cities, including Delhi, Bangalore, Chandigarh, Ludhiana, and Varanasi. In a series of elimination rounds, these 56 children were chosen for the final competition, in which required to demonstrate their abilities through two key tasks. The first was a project that required them to make their own imaginary country, complete with national flag, currency, national animal, duties and rights, and even national anthem set to their own original music. Students also showed off their skills in individual and group performances that included singing, dancing, acting, and so on.

Lakhs of prizes were given away by sponsors, with each participant receiving a bicycle from Firefox Bikes, and educational puzzles from Dr. Wood Games of Australia. Five top winners who were selected from the group were awarded with a trip to Malaysia sponsored by Tourism Malaysia and JK Paper.

The event was a star-studded affair, hosted by ghazal diva Penaz Masani and American educator Steven Rudolph, Director Jiva, both of them entertained the audience with original songs written just for the occasion. Making a special appearance was pop singer Shabani Kashyap, who after a high power performance, declared she would feature the winning students in her next music video. Gurupal Singh, the comedic veteran of Chupa Rustam fame, took up the task of interviewing 15 semi-finalists, posing them with challenging and often humourous questions. This was followed by a comedy routine delivered by the famous ventriloquist-dummy duo Raja and Rancho.

Mr. Rudolph stated, “After Taare Zameen Par, people have begun more actively searching for genuine solutions to India’s “rata rata” dilemma. The MI Kids Challenge is a practical way to do that, by building build all the intelligences—logical, linguistic, bodily, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, visual, and naturalistic. When they are all working together, the result is “Chak De Brain”.

MI in action at Jiva
January 29, 2008

It was an opportunity of a lifetime for around three hundred students of various schools from Faridabad who participated in one-of-a-kind educational event. The MI Kids Challenge provided them with a full day 'masti' as they learned about the different ways they are smart.

Multiple Intelligences (MI) is a concept that explains how each individual has different types of intelligences– Logical, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Musical, Bodily, Linguistic, Visual and Naturalistic. The children took part in 8 different activities that focused on each one of these areas. This enabled them to see how individuals are multi-faceted, and how they could have fun while learning. They also got to know how different careers are more suitable for people with strengths in different types of intelligences.

The occasion started with the chanting of prayers in Sanskrit and a ceremonial lighting of the lamp. Graced by MCF Commissioner Mr. R.K. Khullar, it was an engaging event. Afterwards, the participants enjoyed an entertaining show by the comic duo--Raja and Rancho.

Jiva Educational Director, Mr. Steven Rudolph, a pioneer in the field of learning, encouraged the children to take the day long camp as an opportunity to enjoy themselves, see how smart they are and express themselves. He gave a notable speech that praised Mr. Khullar for his recently released book 'Viral Match', an educative novel about AIDS. He also performed a song that he composed in Hindi. Mr. Rudolph rightly quoted the camp as a 'mela for the mind'.

Jiva President Sh. Rishi Pal Chauhan appreciated Mr. Manbir Bedi (Director, Primary Plus) for taking the initiative to organise the event. He explained how events like this contribute to the education process of the country and help it grow to its potential.
