As part of their enriching visit to Vienna, our student delegation from Ashoka Group of Schools, Nashik had the extraordinary honour of meeting Herta Margarete Habsburg at the Universal Peace Federation (UPF) on 24th May.
Representing India with pride, our students captivated the audience with two inspiring performancesโone celebrating Unity, Peace & Togetherness, and another showcasing a creative fusion of Indian Classical dance and Despacito. Their talent, confidence, and cultural expression beautifully reflected Indiaโs rich heritage on an international platform.
Her Excellency applauded the studentsโ artistry and recognised their academic and practical efforts towards Sustainable Peace and Cultural Diplomacy. She also shared a powerful message on the importance of cultural bridges in bringing people and nations together for a harmonious future.
The memorable interaction concluded with each student receiving a personally signed autograph and lapel pin from Her Excellencyโtokens that our young ambassadors will treasure for years to come.
Our studentsโ visit to United Nations Vienna and their interactions with global leaders were far more than an international educational tour. They provided a unique opportunity to witness diplomacy, cultural exchange, and global citizenship in action.
Experiences like these empower young minds to think globally, communicate confidently, appreciate diverse cultures, and understand the role they can play in creating a better tomorrow.
We are immensely proud of our young ambassadors for representing India and Ashoka with grace, confidence, and distinction.
Special thanks to Peter Haider for facilitating this meaningful interaction at the UPF office.
