The University Grant Commission vide its notification dated 24th February 2022, has notified the Draft curriculum on life skills (Jeevan Kaushal) 2.0 and The Draft Facilitators Guidelines for Life Skills Curriculum (Jeevan Kaushal) and has invited suggestions from stakeholders including teachers, students, researchers and those involved in the related field by 10th March 2022.
The UGC has developed these Life Skills Facilitators’ Guidelines to enable facilitators to make these courses interesting and interactive that will inculcate the skills among learners at the higher education level. Since facilitators and learners are both equal stakeholders in this process of the dissemination and uptake of life skills, their feedback is vital to refine this document, systematize the list of learning resources, and devise users’ guidelines.
The course has been developed with the following objectives:
• Identify common communication problems that may be holding learners back
• Perceive what the non-verbal messages are communicating to others
• Understand the role of communication in the teaching-learning process
• Learn to communicate through the digital media
• Understand the importance of empathetic listening
• Explore communication beyond language.
