Uday Waldorf Spring Carnival 2023 – highlights

UDAY Waldorf Spring Carnival is an annual event organized by the parent community of the school for the larger community of Jaipur to come and experience an alternative way of education and living. We at Uday Waldorf, believe in an organic learning environment with materials that are nature-centric, minimize wastage, and are sustainable to raise children filled with reverence for all human beings and the materials they use. Keeping nature and child-friendliness at the heart of the carnival, we wish to see you in the next carnival to co-create this event and enjoy a fun-filled day with your family. There are various paid workshops as well catering to each age group and also some meaningful workshops for parents.

About Uday

Uday Waldorf-inspired School offers an experiential learning environment for children from 2 to 11 years. (Playgroup to Grade 5) . Waldorf aims to prepare children for life, for the unseen by helping them understand themselves and others in the education process. Moving away from rote learning Uday believes in fostering imagination and creativity and provides a joyful learning environment, where each child’s dignity is respected and their uniqueness celebrated.

There are no textbooks, exams or competitions, as the school promotes collaboration, and taps onto the inner motivation every human has of the inner JOY OF LEARNING rather than an external reason to learn. Being a 100-YEAR-OLD, time-tested pedagogy, the experience and research suggest that self-motivated learners learn much deeper with much lesser effort.

We are glad to invite you to experience our world for a day through this carnival and meet our enlivened fear free children, the parents who chose this path for them and the teachers who hold the space for this nurturing journey with the children here.
