ISCE organizes a 3-day residential camp for school teachers to make them more innovative and effective. Literature is used as a teaching tool. Normally, 40 teachers are admitted to one camp. They are exposed to the best literature available in Gujarati and given the opportunity to create their own poems, stories, short stories, and stage plays. Each camp focuses on one form of literature. We have concluded 5 such camps so far and trained 173 teachers.
ISCE has been conducting an online quiz for the community since 2023. The aim is to educate participants on history, literature, science, and current affairs through questions that spread knowledge rather than test it. The quiz is open to all, including housewives, students, and teachers, and consists of 50 multiple-choice questions.
