The second film we visit an English medium private school in Hyderabad which is modelled on the Waldorf Steiner approach. The teachers generally work with the same group of children over several years, moving with them as they progress up through the levels of school. The lessons typically have a relatively slow pace, with a focus on deep learning, reflection and discussion.

In this lesson, the teacher aims to focus on different festivals in India to support cross-cultural understanding of children who practise different religions.
