Exchange programmes are an effective way to build bridges of understanding among students of different countries. Twenty one students along with two teachers got an opportunity to visit “LyceeOzanam Lille and Lycee EPIL Lille, France” in the month of November 2019. The cultural exchange programme started on 27th November 2019. The students not only enjoyed but also brought back a lot of thoughtful learning.
Living within the homely setup, the Indian students experienced the French way of life and the French culture. They attended classes with their French partners. Indian delegates participated in all the activities like science, sports and social with great zeal and enthusiasm. The French famlies did their best to make the Indian students feel comfortable. Some students prepared Indian food with the help of their French partner and the family got a taste of Indian food.
The delegation team learnt that there was no servant system in France and everyone worked diligently, whether at home or office. The French people spent hours on the dining table and they loved to talk. Students noticed that French people followedthe left hand driving system whereas in India we follow the right hand driving system. Students also liked the no-uniform policy of the school. The delegation was told that talking about politics; religion is strictly prohibited in the school premises. The French people follow the traffic rules strictly and they don’t blow the horn until and unless it is an emergency. The cultural learning was enhanced by the excursion tour to BELGIUM.
