Land Clues: The Geography of Mumbai | Mulund West

Local Gyan turns cities into classrooms through hands-on learning, exploration, stories, and real-world experiences.

About the Workshop

In this investigative workshop, children become geographers and time travellers, uncovering how the earth’s layers, rocks, and fossils reveal the hidden history of our planet. They touch, test, and imagine how landscapes form, shift, and evolve, and how every stone holds a secret.

Every city, every hill, every stone has a story of fire, water, pressure, and time. In The History of Geography, 

  • children explore how the earth took shape through interactive experiments, rock samples, erosion models, and creative storytelling.
  • they learn how landforms are not static, but alive, shaping where people build, how cities grow, and why environments change.
  • the session transforms geology from a dry concept into a tactile, sensory experience, turning observation into awe. 

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this workshop, learners will:

  • Identify basic rock types and how they form.
  • Understand erosion, weathering, and land transformation.
  • Build spatial and temporal reasoning by connecting geography with time.
  • Relate geological formations to everyday life (construction, soil, stability).
  • Cultivate respect for natural processes and materials
  • Strengthen inquiry, observation, and sketching skills.

Gullyside Local Gyan Pvt. Ltd.

Local Gyan (LG) is a movement to make our cities the classroom. Stories, science, and exploration come together to spark curiosity and critical thinking. Our workshops turn water, waste, markets, nature, and neighbourhoods into powerful learning journeys. LG’s books and resources extend this learning beyond the field trip. We work across India, starting with MMR to build city-aware, confident young citizens. Every child should understand how their city works and how they can improve it. Our curriculum connects academic goals with lived experiences. LG is not just a programme; it is a rethink of how learning should feel. Join us in raising a generation that cares for place, people, and possibility.
