Lewis so aptly expressed. They are equals who invite us to rediscover the wonder and the magic around us. They let their imaginations wander, ask a barrage of questions and are armed with the power of curiosity, and this sentiment should be at the heart of organising a children\u2019s festival. We spoke to Meera Warrier, Festival Coordinator at the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.festivalsfromindia.com\/festival\/kala-ghoda-arts-festival\/\">Kala Ghoda Arts Festival<\/a>; Ruchira Das, founder at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkarts.co.in\/about-us.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ThinkArts<\/a>; and Raj Jog Singh, Senior Manager (Production) for <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.festivalsfromindia.com\/organiser\/teamwork-arts\/\">Teamwork Arts<\/a>, which organises the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.festivalsfromindia.com\/festival\/kahaani\/\">Kahaani Festival<\/a>, for insights on best practices when putting together a festival for kids.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is important to create a holistic experience for the child who will spend two to three hours in the festival,\u201d says Meera. The curation should aim to wean kids away from digital screens and help them reconnect with reality. \u201cChildren have changed drastically after the COVID-19 pandemic. While they have survived the past two years through the sheer power of curiosity, their surroundings have changed drastically. Today, their minds are multi-dimensional as they are attempting to navigate the real and virtual worlds simultaneously. It is necessary to keep this new reality in mind when designing a festival so that it leaves an impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.festivalsfromindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Govandi-Arts-Festival-org-photo.JPG-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Govandi-Arts-Festival-org-photo.JPG-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Govandi-Arts-Festival-org-photo.JPG-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Govandi-Arts-Festival-org-photo.JPG-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Govandi-Arts-Festival-org-photo.JPG-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Govandi-Arts-Festival-org-photo.JPG-1-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Govandi Arts Festival. Photo: Community Design Agency (CDA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Timing is everything<\/strong><br>Both Raj and Meera recommend conducting children\u2019s festivals during the weekends.<br>\u201cThe sessions and activities should be held during the first half of the day, and can go on until 6:30 PM. During weekdays, given it is school time, lighter activities can be arranged in the evening, such as a workshop or a book-reading session,\u201d says Meera. Be an early bird. Plan the festival in advance and remember to give plenty of notice. \u201cChildren\u2019s festivals should preferably be organised when they do not have exams so that they are able to attend the festival,\u201d adds Ruchira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Targeting the audience<\/strong><br>One of the simplest ways to enlist participation from different schools is by spreading the word through social media. Contests for school kids is also a strategic way to address the target audience. Apart from this, outreach programmes such as reaching out to NGOs as well as public and private schools with a storyteller or a puppeteer, and facilitating activities with children across age groups are interesting ways to ensure participation. \u201cHypothetically, a hundred schools can be covered in fifteen days. This can create awareness about your festival among kids and schools. There is palpable excitement among the students to see their works displayed,\u201d adds Meera. The belief that these occasions do not aid in children\u2019s growth is a misconception that needs to be debunked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0\u201cUnless you conduct an outreach programme, it is difficult to\u00a0 convince schools how interactive activities such as storytelling, music, theatre, dance, puppetry etc. can aid in children\u2019s growth,\u201d says Raj. Children tend to find comfort in passive learning but it is important to engage them in debates. \u201cThey have a mind of their own and want an interesting concept presented to them. If something stops being intriguing, they lose their curiosity and interest, almost immediately,\u201d adds Meera.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pick the right programming\u00a0<\/strong><br>\u201cIt\u2019s all about the curation,\u201d says Raj. \u201cThe activities included in the festival must be interactive and action-based so as to ensure that the children do not lose interest. There is no way that they want to sit and listen to a 45-minute lecture.\u201d Storytelling, music, puppetry, papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9 and dancing are some of the activities that draw maximum engagement. Dont forget the parents. Include a range of adult-friendly activities so that everybody can have fun. \u201cParents and caregivers will then encourage their child to participate in more such events that are crucial for their holistic development. A child will seldom attend a festival by themselves \u2013 they will most likely be accompanied by a grown-up; be it a parent, a teacher, a caregiver, or a relative. Thus, you need to be mindful that the programming is layered and can allow both the grown-up and the child to experience the performance from their varying points of view,\u201d says Ruchira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Make the kids comfortable<\/strong><br>\u201cA safe environment for children ensures that the kids are at ease throughout the sessions,\u201d says Raj. Giving the kids their own space and allowing them the flexibility to interact is key. Let the children decide how much they want to participate. Hosting events in an open space where children can see their parents can be another way to guarantee that they feel safe. \u201cThere are no hard and fast rules. If the child wants to sit and observe and doesn\u2019t want to engage, it\u2019s perfectly alright,\u201d adds Meera.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.festivalsfromindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Rachnas-Funclub-3rd-Week_Workshop_MUAF_Start-Mumbai-2022-23_Sohil-26-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Rachnas-Funclub-3rd-Week_Workshop_MUAF_Start-Mumbai-2022-23_Sohil-26-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Rachnas-Funclub-3rd-Week_Workshop_MUAF_Start-Mumbai-2022-23_Sohil-26-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Rachnas-Funclub-3rd-Week_Workshop_MUAF_Start-Mumbai-2022-23_Sohil-26-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Rachnas-Funclub-3rd-Week_Workshop_MUAF_Start-Mumbai-2022-23_Sohil-26-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Rachnas-Funclub-3rd-Week_Workshop_MUAF_Start-Mumbai-2022-23_Sohil-26-1-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Children\u2019s workshop at the Mumbai Urban Arts Festival (M.U.A.F.).
