This year’s MAS Children’s Programme outreach events continued in Jaffna and for the first time travelled to Killinochchi for concerts in two schools there.  The outreach roadshow featured the renowned Indian storyteller Jeeva Raghunath who had the students and teachers enthralled for all of her highly interactive and hilarious sessions.

Students were also treated to performances by The Music Project Student Orchestra made up of students from nearby areas. For the first time the Illangai Thamizhanz brought their uplifting conscious Tamil hip hop show into schools.

Topping all that off was India’s hottest magician, Neel Madhav who kept audiences on their toes with his signature brand of street magic. Malika Booker from the UK, focused on poetry and joined these presenters in an engaging teacher training on ‘Storytelling in the Classroom’.
