Pink Party

The modern art of teaching brings the real world into the classroom.

One of my English simulation projects is “Organizing an Event”. In this simulation, the participants learn how to use English communication in holding meetings, proposing new ideas, putting proposals to the vote, forming committees and conducting the proceedings in a dignified manner.


In their project, the FSTEP Batch 3 participants in the Team Franc proposed a colour theme. They were split on the choice of colour so a vote was taken. I voted for blue but the majority was in favour of PINK.


PINK? I had my doubts initially. I thought that PINK was unsuitable for the guys. My misgivings were finally laid to rest. When the entire Team Franc appeared in PINK, they created a sensation!

I soon realized that PINK was more than just a colour theme. It was the colour of unity and solidarity for Team Franc. The reason? The participants were placed in different classes after a recent reshuffle but were reunited for the English class. So, on the day of the event, PINK represented a special bond of friendship.



May PINK keep the Franc friendship alive no matter where they are or who they become. May God bless them in their internship and also in their career prospects.



In this video, the participants ask Kim Chow to give an impromptu performance.



The following video shows the Pink Party warming-up.
