There is something special that happens at Paro College of Education, something that extends beyond textbooks and lesson plans and we call it “Book Talk.” It is a celebration of stories, a meeting of minds, and a reminder that learning happens not just in the classroom, but in the quiet corners of our hearts and souls and the book talk usually happens inside the Nangka Choling learning center. Beyond the fixed structures of syllabus and curriculum, \u201cBook Talk\u201d allows us to come together simply as readers, sharing our thoughts, feelings, and experiences sparked by the books we love which happens every month on a Wednesday. There is no pressure to analyze, or write an essay about a book, but it is just a space to connect with others through the magic of storytelling inspired by our President and our lecturers.<\/span><\/p>

I remember one particularly memorable “Book Talk” session where we discussed a book about overcoming adversity. As we shared our interpretations and personal experiences, I realized that the characters’ struggles resembled with each of our own lives in different ways.<\/span><\/p>

The best stories come alive and we learn about ourselves too. It offers an enriching, beautiful experience.<\/span><\/p>

These sessions of book talk taught me that reading is not a solitary activity but a bridge that connects us to other people, cultures, and different perspectives. \u201cBook Talk\u201d reminds us that reading broadens our understanding and it lets us transform into a better human being in terms of perspective, knowledge and vision.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

So, whenever the academic pressure feels heavy on you or if you ever find yourself at Paro College of Education, make sure to join us for a “Book Talk” session. \u00a0It is a wonderful opportunity to explore beyond the rigid academia and embrace the joy of reading allowing you to also connect with a community of book lovers. We will leave not just with new book recommendations, but with a renewed view about the beauty in reading books.<\/span><\/p>
