Description
This volume highlights the diverse and distinctive ways of transmitting
knowledge through arts and crafts, which also contribute to the recent
focus on evolving alternative pedagogical tools in the formal and non-formal
systems of education. The essays herein stress the need for identifying
characteristic features of the numerous strategies for transmitting
information, knowledge and techniques that existed in the Asian continent,
not only through the written word but also through the oral, the visual and
the performative mediums. They will give readers an idea of the innovative
projects undertaken by educationists across Asia for sensitizing the younger
generation towards their cultural heritage.
