Tagore International School,Vasant Vihar has always worked for international goodwill and understanding by forging close ties with students and educational institutions across the world.Recently we were honoured to be the only Indian school invited by the Chinese Embassy in India on behalf of the hosts, The Good Neighbourliness Friendship and Cooperation Commission (GNFCC) of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) to the Shanghai Cooperation Junior Journalists International Summer Camp from 13 July to 25 July 2023. This event gave an unique opportunity to our students Tishya Chandok and Snehpreet Kaur (both of Class X) to learn about the workings of the media and gain exposure in a foreign country.
The Opening Ceremony was held on 17 July at Volga Manor, Harbin, where our students danced to the catchy Hindi song Gallan Goodiyan and Ms Sonia Bhatia, who had accompanied the students, also gave a speech. A Seminar for the teachers on ‘Diversity in Education’ was held on 20 July at Lindu Hotel, Yichun. An impressive closing ceremony on 24 July at Yueju Chateau, Yichun concluded this event. Shehpreet and Tishya enthralled the audience with another Indian dance.
The students grasped a lot about how the media functions and news is broadcast in China. They also absorbed a lot from their peers about different food and cultures and it was a great chance to share some delicious Indian eats and thus reach out to the other delegates. The interaction with students from various countries and the glimpse of China with its fascinating ancient history and culture as well as its amazing modern technological advances was indeed a unique takeaway for the students.
