Summer Art Camp In Lok Virsa Beginning From 3rd July: National Institute of Folk and Traditional Heritage (Lok-Virsa) will organize a month-long summer camp for children under age 6 to 14 years of age to enhance their art skills from July 3.
During summer art camp students would be educated about various art forms including truck art, paper mache and pottery making.
According to the Lok Virsa official statement, the classes will be conducted from July 3rd till July 31st at Lok Virsa Heritage Museum in Shakarparian.
The summer camp aimed at promoting traditional culture and inculcating awareness among younger generation, especially children, about the indigenous craft heritage of Pakistan.
Timings of the summer camp will be from 10 am to 1 pm (Tuesday to Friday), four days a week. There will be three periods of classes during summer camp. The first period will focus on history about the relevant craft.
The children will do practical work under master trainers/artisans in the second period, while the third period will focus on storytelling, folk music, folk games and drawings, etc. During the summer camp, the participating children will also be provided an opportunity to visit local museums and get acquainted with the cultural heritage of Pakistan.
A non-refundable registration fee of Rs.3,000 per child will be charged in advance. The summer camp will culminate with a colorful closing ceremony, which will feature live performances by child folk artists and folk performers.
Certificates will also be awarded to the participating children in this ceremony in full view of the media.
Lok Virsa’s mandate has been to preserve, document and promote cultural heritage (both tangible and intangible). The earlier focus had been more on the first two aspects. Currently, the focus will be on the promotion of folk heritage of Pakistan in a way that is relevant to people of all ages and backgrounds and to provide more meaning, depth and rootedness in life.
The promotion of folk heritage will also create more space for expressing diversity within our culture, asserting cultural autonomy and dignity and could contribute towards being a stronger democracy and a stronger nation.
