Tvm: Insight, an Information & Communication Technology (ICT) centre for the differently abled, under the aegis of Kerala State IT Mission and SPACE, is organising a summer camp ‘Magic’ for children with special needs. The aim of the camp is to help children acquire social skills and develop their communicative ability with the help of ICT tools.
The MAGIC (Music, Art, Games / Gardening, ICT activities, Creative sessions) camp is aimed at children between 5 and 15 years of age with mental health difficulties. The camp offers interactive as well as educative activities with ICT tools and creative sessions that include gardening, painting, crafts and music.
