Chandigarh, December 19: As part of the ‘Go
Global’ campaign initiated by Yuvsatta-an NGO, St. Stephen’s School of Chandigarh started an
international exchange programme with “156 Vassil Levski"-a prestigious School at Sofia the beautiful
capital city of Bulgaria Sharing his concerns Mr. Louis Lopez, School
Principal said that at St. Stephen’s their vision is to create an architectural environment that
will not only support, but inspire an educational process to act as a link
between home and the world since education at school is a continuation and
extension of parental education at home. As such they believe that each
Stephenian should always aim higher, that is why the School Motto is "Semper
Sursum" meaning Always Aim Higher. And this new initiative of
partnership with Bulgarian School is also a step in that direction, which
surely will increase student’s
in-depth understanding of the world and its many cultures. Giving
information about major highlights of the initiative, Mr. Pramod Sharma,
coordinator of Yuvsatta said that our country enjoys a very close
relationship with Bulgaria and recently Hon’ble President of India Sh. Ram
Nath Kovind, had also visited Bulgaria to further strengthen Indo-Bulgarian ties. And
they have designed this programme with many interesting activities like a
School-Buddies programme in which students from both Schools will exchange
weekly emails to learn more about each other’s people, country, festivals, education
system and governance. Regular international Skype Conference calls between
students and teachers of both partner Schools are also planned. And to further
cement their ties both Schools will also plant ‘Friendship Trees’ at their
campus. Exchange visits of teachers and students from both sides are also
planned.
