Global Communication Initiative

A new initiative was introduced in school in collaboration with Verdentum an NGO -   the  launch of  a “Global Communication Initiative” the objective of which is to encourage debate and conversation surrounding pressing social and environmental issues and policy matters between schools across the globe using Skype and Video conferencing. We hope this will help students in developing and developed nations communicate and understand differences in perspectives as well as bridge divides.

For the launch a Skype session was organized in school with the “Brilliant Stars School” in Tripura. This is a non-profit school, and is introducing innovative teaching methods in a rural setting.  The session with the students in Tripura was very interactive and involved the Grades VII and VIII. We propose to have more such sessions with schools in India and abroad.

Some reflections.........

Sharon: Considering the geographical status of both the regions, we found we had diverse issues to discuss and come up with solutions. I found it to be a very fruitful experience. 

Esha: It was interesting to interact and I look forward to more of these sessions

Sai Tenneti: I enjoyed the Skype session a lot. I learned that Tripura does not have as serious electricity problems as we do and they have a huge power plant nearby.

Vidip: It was a lot of fun interacting with students from Tripura. They really liked our Green Rangers campaign and want to start something like it. 

Preetika: It was an absolute delight to learn more about the situations and environmental issues areas with varied and diverse landscapes face.
