🌏 A trip to Nepal for education, development and adventure. Before the summer break, some of our Grade 10 students completed their Personal Development Experience (PDE) at our partner school Shree Mangal Dvip SMD in Kathmandu. Our partnership with SMD in Nepal represents a commitment to genuine intercultural exchange, global citizenship, and transformative education.
Students had the opportunity to work directly with the local community by volunteering at SMD in Kathmandu. Tasks included student-led activities, supporting teachers in the classroom, leading and supporting with extracurricular activities. The ICS students participated in a shared learning task with SMD students on an economic-global goal situation which was presented to them. At the end of their week, they had to present their findings to the leadership team at SMD. 🎓
Of course the cultural exposure did not fall short on such a trip of a lifetime. They visited the UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple), Boudhanath Stupa, Pashupatinath Temple, and the Kathmandu Durbar Square. 🇳🇵
