CBSE Launches Offline Parenting Workshops Across 5 Cities to Promote Student Well-Being
In a strategic move to enhance student well-being and promote holistic education, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is set to conduct a series of offline parenting workshops across five cities in India from September 4 to September 18, 2025. These workshops aim to deepen the impact of the CBSE Parenting Calendar 2025–26, which was introduced earlier this year to foster greater parental involvement in children's academic and emotional development.
This initiative builds on the orientation sessions that were conducted in May and June 2025, and now extends the reach of the calendar through in-person engagement with school leaders and wellness educators.
Purpose: Strengthening Positive Parenting and Student Support Systems
The core objective of these workshops is to equip parents—through school representatives—with tools and strategies to effectively support their children's academic performance, emotional intelligence, and social development. By involving principals, counselors, and wellness teachers from CBSE-affiliated schools, the board aims to ensure that these strategies are disseminated directly through schools to the wider parent community.
Key focus areas of the workshops include:
- Effective implementation of the CBSE Parenting Calendar
- Positive parenting practices
- Promoting digital well-being
- Building emotional resilience in children
- Facilitating collaboration between schools and families
CBSE is framing these sessions as an interactive platform, where educators can discuss real-world challenges parents face and explore actionable strategies to tackle them. These workshops represent a crucial step in transforming schools into hubs of emotional and social support, not just centers of academic learning.
Workshop Schedule and City-Wise Details
The workshops will be conducted as offline, in-person sessions, each scheduled in a different city. Every session will be held from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, with reporting required by 9:30 AM. The following is the official schedule:

Why These Workshops Matter
The CBSE Parenting Calendar 2025–26 is a year-long initiative that seeks to redefine the parent-child-school triangle by making parents active collaborators in the schooling process. Featuring weekly themes and activity suggestions like family bonding through storytelling, music, and values-based discussions, the calendar encourages a nurturing home environment conducive to learning and emotional growth.
These workshops are a crucial next step in ensuring that the Parenting Calendar doesn't just remain a document, but becomes an actionable framework adopted by schools and parents alike. By conducting these in-person workshops, CBSE is fostering deeper dialogue between educators and school leaders on how to turn these ideas into practice.
Looking Ahead
CBSE’s latest initiative underscores a growing recognition of the interconnected roles of family, school, and community in shaping a child’s development. With mental health and digital wellness becoming increasingly central to student success, the Board's focus on resilience-building and digital literacy is timely and necessary.
These workshops are not just a training ground—they're a collaborative platform where educators can align with CBSE’s vision of student-centered, emotionally intelligent schooling. In the long run, initiatives like these can help schools foster a more empathetic, engaged, and well-rounded generation of learners.
