The workshop will cover Goal Setting, Tourism Games, Agriculture – Innovations, Planting Microgreens, Climate Change & Technology, Energy Audit of the school/building, Productive software and websites, Story Telling and Theatre, and the formation of extraordinary clubs at school. 

The inaugural function was attended by Guru Nyima (Lugsam Settlement Officer), Chime Dorjee, (Dickey Larsoe Settlement Officer), Namgyal Tsering (Principal, TCV Bylakuppe), Dawa Tashi (Principal, STS Bylakuppe) and Tsering Choephell (Principal, STS CVP Bylakuppe).

They thanked the Department of Education for organising the workshop at the settlement where every student gets a chance to participate. The chief guests also advised the students to keenly participate in this five-day workshop.
