As part of the Sunday Recreational Activity, a Gurmukhi Calligraphy (Akharkari) Workshop was conducted for students. Calligraphy is practised in many styles and languages across the world. Gurmukhi Akharkari is one such form, referring to the artistic writing and decorative representation of Gurmukhi letters, where Akhar (ਅੱਖਰ) means letter and Kari (ਕਾਰੀ) means artistic craftsmanship or creative work.

Students were introduced to the fundamentals of Traditional, Modern and Digital Gurmukhi Calligraphy, along with the tools used in this art form, including brush pens, bamboo pens, handmade paper and ink. During the first workshop, students learnt about the calligraphy pen, ink, the correct way to hold the pen, and the basic strokes used in Gurmukhi calligraphy.

Learning Gurmukhi Akharkari helps students improve creativity, develop patience and concentration, preserve their cultural identity, strengthen their connection with the Gurmukhi script, and cultivate mindfulness through artistic expression. It also nurtures a deeper understanding of their rich heritage, language, culture and traditions.

Art becomes even more meaningful when it preserves language, culture and heritage.
