PROCESS – ?The introduction started off with a brief presentation on teamwork (The story about flight of the geese) and then the mentors introduced themselves with a rap song backed by a ppt. ?There were three activities in all, each giving out a different message and in order to ensure that the mentees get to know each other well and have enough scope for interaction, for each activity, they were shuffled into different groups (5 groups with 10-12 mentees in each) using different strategies. In the first activity, each group had to come up with a jingle or a song to introduce themselves, and the jingle would have to include each group members name. The objective of this activity was to ensure that they get to know each other, at least their names. oThe second activity was a communication game wherein they were given sufficient time to develop a new language and one member had to be blindfolded who would be directed by his/her group members using only the newly created language to collect certain objects in a specific order.

It was well planned and well organized and well coordinated.
