"On a recent visit to India, primary teachers Kate Bowen and Jane Sanders from Leeds discovered that yoga improved the concentration of the Indian pupils. Back in their own schools in the UK they decided to introduce yoga and record the outcomes on video.
From the start, the enthusiasm of the pupils is evident, as is their desire to learn more about how their Indian counterparts practice yoga. They communicate with the Indian pupils via email, and hope soon to be swapping the video they have shot. Throughout the project we see how Kate and Jane encourage the pupils to take ownership of the project, including teaching yoga to children in other Leeds schools.
In the discussion that follows, Rittika Chanda Parruck from the British Council in India talks about the project with Kate, Jane and Gillian Sherrif, from another school in Leeds. She asks whether yoga should be introduced more widely and how its effects could be measured."

"Two teachers use video to investigate a subtle educational problem - how to assess children's changing attitudes to other cultures - in the Brilliant Box Project. At Stamford Park Primary School in Manchester, headteacher Cathy Downing and Year 4 class teacher Beth Matthews video their pupils discussing family values and choosing objects to represent these values. They then place them in a box to send to India. Meanwhile a class in New Delhi does the same thing and sends its box to Stamford Park.
When the Indian box arrives the children guess what's inside and then open the box with much excitement. They are puzzled by some of the contents. Their discussions and choices are captured on video.
Rittika Chanda Parruck from the British Council in Delhi discusses the project with Cathy, Beth and their 'cluster leader' Tim Gartside, to discover what they have learned and how the project could develop."

"Students in India are developing an eco-friendly mosquito repellent, a process captured on their own video.
The project addresses problems of pollution and global warming by replacing aerosol-based repellents or those that need electricity with a natural lemon-grass repellent. The idea of distilling lemon-grass leaves to produce the repellent came from Beena Varkey and Uttara Mazumdar, two science teachers at St Paul's School in Delhi. The experiment and all the testing and marketing are being done by the pupils themselves, as is the filming for their video.
In the discussion, consultant Adrienne Jones talks with Beena, Uttara and school principal Rema Alex Daniel about the project. It is clear that the students are completely engaged in the scientific enquiry which the project has provoked. Is this degree of pupil autonomy also possible in UK schools?"

"Returning from a trip to India, Joanna Gilbert from Brough Primary School in Yorkshire has used images to explore community cohesion with her gifted and talented pupils, and has made a video about it.
Joanna and her 'India Group' of pupils start by asking, 'Who do we think we are?' Then they look at images and video footage brought back from India by Joanna, and discuss what community means when the extremes of rich and poor live side by side. They ask what makes a successful community and what happens when communities don't work, using images from India and from the UK media.
In the discussion that follows, Rittika Chanda Parruck from the British Council in Delhi is joined by Joanna and her colleague in the India project, Rachel Lloyd, plus headteacher Isabel Peirson. Joanna feels that her pupils have made significant discoveries in the course of their 'Indian journey'. The next step is to see how her gifted and talented pupils can spread their discovery across the school."

"JNV Mungeshpur is a school near Delhi with an intake of first-generation learners from rural backgrounds. English teacher Uma Kala enlists the help of her art teacher husband Chittermani Kala to introduce puppets into her teaching. She records the process on video.
The video shows how the children work from an open-ended stimulus of images and traditional fables to create their own story on the theme of 'No War Any More'. They are helped in translating their stories by older students; they then create a puppet play using puppets they have made themselves.
In the discussion, consultant Adrienne Jones is joined by Uma, together with a teacher of geography and headteacher Prit Singh, to talk about the video project. It shows that learning through puppets is enjoyable and effective for students, and points the way for more experiential learning and investigative work using video."

"The Brilliant Box Project is captured on camera by teachers from the Apeejay school in New Delhi. Their video explores how primary-age children in India can learn about the UK through exchanging a box of objects with a school in Manchester. The video starts with the children discussing family values and describing objects representing these values. They place them in a box to send to the UK. Meanwhile in Stamford Park Junior School in Manchester, a Year 4 class does the same thing and sends its box to Apeejay. The video closes with the Indian children excitedly opening the UK box and wondering what the objects mean.
Consultant Adrienne Jones discusses the project with the teachers at Apeejay, and with their principal, to discover what they have learned. We see the reaction of the Indian children as they watch the video of the Stamford Park children opening their box. They like to see how the objects are received and feel that, despite their differences, 'they are the same inside'."

"At the start of their India project, teachers from Braunton Secondary School in Devon have used video to record their pupils' initial ideas. Deputy headteacher David Butt starts by recording his pupils' discussion as they pose questions about India in a geography lesson. These are sent by email to their Indian partner school; before getting the answers, the pupils try to guess what the answers might be. Not surprisingly, when the answers come back there are a few surprises, like the length of the school day - from 8am to 8:30pm!
The next stage is for the pupils to video a conversation with an Indian visitor, Rittika Chanda Parruck from the British Council in Delhi, which exposes some further misconceptions.
In the discussion that follows, Rittika is joined by David, by the school's head of geography and by a local authority adviser. The group discusses the value of using video as a means of gathering evidence from the start of the project."

"This programme showcases a student video from Springdales School in Delhi, where the students have been measuring carbon footprints and taking action to reduce global warming in their school. School principal Ameeta Wattal says, 'Education is power and all power should be used for service'. In keeping with this ethos, the students are reducing their carbon footprint. Senior students teach the juniors how to measure carbon footprints and to reduce emissions through everyday choices and behaviour. They are affecting the way the school operates, and hope that their video will take the message to schools across India and to their cluster of partner schools in the UK, so that they too can make a difference.
Consultant Adrienne Jones is joined by Ameeta and teachers Nidhi Tewari and Pramada Lele to discuss the project. Nidhi's computer lab seemed to have the greatest carbon footprint in the school, so the students went to the principal for action."
