Besides cultivating skills and competencies, this program hopes to transform thinking, and helps teachers to create an inner landscape for themselves, which will be a valuable resource for them in facing the day-to-day challenges in an inclusive class room. Teachers who will become more aware and knowledgeable about the nuances of early childhood education and are completely available to the children in the classroom.
Sundaram Educational Trust is partnered in this project with V- Excel Educational Trust, an NGO who has been in the field of Special Education for about a decade. This is a programme which is spread over an academic year with three sessions of three-day duration each comprising the theoretical and practical aspects of inclusive education.

The ultimate objective is to ensure inclusion of every child in the curriculum, to foster conviction, courage, and creativity in every child and to have a deeper and profound understanding of a teacher's role in a child's life.
