RACHANA is a resource centre and design lab at CETE–a space for collaboration and hands-on exploration of educational ideas and resources–used by practitioners: teachers, student teachers and faculty of education. RACHANA has a rich collection of curated resources and ICT-based Connected Learning Initiative (CLIx) resources which have won international recognition for quality and relevance.

 RACHANA has now opened calls for fellows to join the very first cohort of the Residential Winter School 2022. This winter school is an opportunity for students enrolled in the final year of B.Ed and similar teacher education programmes to participate in a week-long residential immersive programme to engage with their peers across India and South Asia.

Applications for the winter school are open to students in their final year of BEd or BSc/BA BEd/ BElEd. Students from other South Asian countries in the final year of  pre-service teacher education can also apply. A fee of Rs 3000/- is being charged to cover the accommodation and a kit of resources. CETE will sponsor limited applicants for travel and accommodation expenses.

The last date to apply is 15 October, 2022 and the winter school will begin from November 26, 2022. Interested applicants can apply using this link (https://bit.ly/CETE_Winter_School)
