Addressing the full house at Sangeet Natak Academy, SHEF’s Founder Dr Urvashi Sahni said, “At SHEF, drama is an integral part of our pedagogy because we believe children learn best when they are engaged emotionally, intellectually, and creatively. Through theatre, they don’t just learn to act—they learn to think, to feel, and to speak up. Yuva Manch is their space to tell the stories that matter to them. When children perform, they show us who they are and who they can become.”
