Parents, Here’s Why You Need to Enroll Your Kids in Raëll Padamsee’s ACE’s Online Speech and Drama Workshops

Apart from being a ton of fun, the workshops have several benefits to offer!
Parents around the world are worried about how this pandemic and the resulting school closures are going to affect their children’s growth and development. Virtual schooling is often one-directional, and the lack of interaction can severely affect children’s interpersonal skills and overall development.
Recognizing this concern, Raëll Padamsee’s Academy for Creative Expression (ACE) decided to take their Speech and Drama workshops online. They have already conducted several successful batches, clocking over 5,000 hours of creative learning online, and are now accepting enrollments for their upcoming batch of workshops.

These workshops are open to children of all ages, right from 2.5 to 19 years. ‘Learning with fun’ is their motto, and the classes consist of a series of thoughtfully designed, age-appropriate activities like free-free flowing thought exercises to spark children’s imagination, role play and improvisation sessions to build empathy and communication skills, and speech exercises to improve pronunciation, enunciation, articulation and voice modulation. They make it a point to do a number of activities to help improve children’s vocabulary and English-speaking abilities. The kids also perform either poems, monologues, or short plays, which helps boost their memory, increase their concentration and build their confidence. For older kids, they have debates, which helps enhance their reasoning skills. All their classes also have a character development angle, where they encourage the young ones to perform simple good deeds and have lively discussions about inspirational figures with the older students.

Pioneers in this space, ACE was the first academy to take its Speech and Drama workshops online, to ensure that kids could benefit from the classes even while they’re at home. ACE believes in holistic development for children and aims to equip their students with essential skills that will last them a lifetime. Fortunately, since they have over 30 years of experience in this space and have taught over 1 lakh children, they were able to pivot quickly to the digital medium. Raëll Padamsee herself has designed a brand-new, digital-friendly curriculum that ensures that the kids will have a blast while they learn new skills, and is taught by expertly trained instructors. The workshops are proven to:
