FIELD TRIP

H.H.M.M.II Training College has organized a field trip on 23 February 2022. The main destination of the trip was Kerala Arts and Crafts Village, kovalam and Poovar. All the things were preplanned effectively. So, the one day trip went as per the plans. Students and teachers departured from the college by 6.30 AM in the morning in a tourist bus. We had our breakfast from kottarakara and from there, other teachers and students were joined with us. We reached KACV by 10.00 AM. The event coordinator Surjith Sir and the team hertly welcomed us to their place. The beauty of the place can't be described in words. It was overwhelming and mindblowing. Students split into 5 to 6 group comprising 10 members each. A lead was allocated to each group for guiding us. KACV is spread around 9 acres. There are a lot of stuffs to experience and observe like Aranmula kanadi making, Kerala traditional handicraft production, displays of handicraft items, stills and demonstrations. They have 28 studios, an emporium and art gallery. They also have different sections like mural painting stall, uru carfts, ornamnets making, pooram crafts, straw picture crafts, flower making and so on. As I am a mural painting artist, I asked the mural painting artisan more about their works, paintings and classes. It was a great informative talk with him. The highlight of KACV, I felt was they support so many artisans especially womens to become independent with their own creativity. It was really a great step and appreciatable. We experienced there about 2 hours. After this, we went to Poovar. We had boating through poovar island. Later, we had lunch from floating reastaurant. We also spent some quality time in beach. In the evening, we visited Azhimala Temple and watched sunset. Later, we returned from there by 6.30. We had dinner from kilimanoor. We reached the college by 10.00 AM. The one day field trip was a day to cherish and remember in B.ed life.
