Spring dales school, Dhaula kuan, New Delhi, India and Impington Village College Cambridgeshire, U.K. have been engaged in the Department for International Develpement Global School Partnerships Programme of the British Council for a three year period under the auspices of the Global Curriculum Project.
In this final year of the exchange programme, a delegation comprising six students and two teachers visited Impington Village College, Cambridgeshire from July 4th to July 12th.
This year the curriculum dealt with the influence of colonial values on Indian literature and art and vise versa, and the fact that cross cultural exchanges between India and U.K. have led to an amalgamation of cultures. Other issues dealt with were a realization of the negative aspects of colonialism on the one hand and appreciation of colonial heritage on the other.
Ending the three year partnership on a celebratory note was a vibrant cultural programme with Bharat Natyam, Bhangra a piano recital and a dance, by tudents of Springdales and the host school. The spirit of international brotherhood was evident throughout the trip and the return visit by I.V.C. in October 2007, is now awaited.
