Seva or Service is the core value at Step by Step School. The Sanskirt word ‘Seva’ is a beautiful word that comes from the root words ‘sah’ and ‘eva’ meaning ‘together with’. It conveys the act of ‘selfless service for the other’. Whatever it is that one does for the benefit of others, without expecting anything in return is ‘Seva’. Therefore, it is befitting that we take this as theme for the conference.
Seva offers us humans a profound lesson in unity and selflessness. Just as the seed, soil and sun work together in perfect symbiosis, or how flowers and Honeybees contribute to the cycle of life; we too can learn to collaborate joyfully.
Through Seva, we discover the simple joy of working together towards a common goal, enriching both ourselves and our communities. It’s not about charity or privilege, but about recognizing our interconnectedness and finding fulfilment in serving others with humility and sincerity.
The five-day conference will comprise of panel discussions, keynote speakers and a plethora of cultural activities based on service, after which participants will reflect on their understanding of service and how it has impacted them in numerous baraza sessions.
Outreach activities will be organized at nearby locations so that participants may experience an authentic and hands on perspective of what service truly entails. Through engaging workshops and collaborative projects, participants will explore innovative approaches to address pressing societal challenges, igniting a collective commitment to serve with empathy and purpose.
