Helping young minds to understand the value of living without any boundaries in this new world
Sharing good things about different cultures. Giving students role models from all over the world not only from their own country. Helping them to find common things among them and people of other countries. Helping them to communicate with people from all over the world through video chats and conferences (if not possible to meet directly). Teach them to love common things but always respect the differences because nothing is good or bad, it is only the perception. Organize events(dress competitions, discussions, food festivals, art competitions, skits) and quiz about different cultures and traditions.
