Kudos to the Podar World School Management for being a flag bearer in innovative learning and creating a platform for the students to be self- aware and future ready.
To make learning more effective, the students of VII A of Podar World School, Sherkhi were exposed to a unique first-hand experience of the global culture through ‘Clap Talk’ in their very own classroom on 13th December'16. ‘Clap Talk’ abridges two different worlds through dialogues between the students and the traveller in the classrooms. The resource person (traveller), a jubilant young lady Ms. Manuela, a Brazilian along with Ms. Shirin Johari introduced and familiarized the concept of 'Clap Talk'. Students had a virtual joyride to the country of Brazil especially ‘Belo Horizonte’ the city of the traveller through the PPT presented which was a gateway to the culture and people of the country there.
Once the question balls rolled, curious students were unstoppable and the conversations gradually created a deeper understanding of a foreign world that they had just been reading and talking about. Through the interactions students were exposed to diverse perspectives about culture quite different from their own, moulding them into culturally intelligent and compassionate individuals creating a path in this fast-shrinking world. The interaction was followed by a ‘Selfie time’ for students to mingle with the traveller and an exchange of postcard with their feedback on it. Indeed, the student’s excitement reflected, clearly marked as one of their best experiences in their learning process.
