Funkaar 2020 -21
At Shiv Nadar School, we firmly believe in ‘Learning by Doing’. Experiences play an important role in a child's life by enhancing their social skills, intellectual skills, personality progress, and character appeal. We bring to you the digital version of Funkaar with the hope that you will experience the sense of joy and exuberance that the children have felt in stitching this together for you, while being in their homes removed by distance but aligned by the same ethos, artistic bent, appreciation for beauty and love for each other.

THE BUTTERFLY TIMES, OCTOBER 2020
The article on Mahatma Gandhi celebrating his birth anniversary aptly starts the October edition of the Butterfly Times. Our young environmentalists have penned down persuasive articles on the plight of Mother Earth and its inhabitants for this issue. One also gets to enter the world of fantasy and dinosaurs through the minds of our dreamers. A poem salutes the corona worries another remembers the time before the pandemic. The issue concludes with a Michael Morpurgo book review.
E Pluribus Unum - E Magazine - Nov Edition
E Pluribus Unum-which means "One out of many" or "One from many" is an E magazine with articles by the students of grades 9 to 12 of Shiv Nadar Schools of all the three campuses. The magazine not only showcases the creativity, research skills and writing skills of our students but also gives them a platform to air their views on a plethora of topics.
Celebration of International Day of People With Disabilities
Celebration of International Day of People With Disabilities/ Across the school
The International Day of Persons with Disability is observed annually all across the world on the 3rd of December. Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad, dedicated the 1st to the 5th of December to celebrate International Day of People With Disabilities. We focus on learning more about how not all disabilities are visible, and how we can hear everyone's abilities speak louder than their disabilities. The date for this observance was decided by the United Nations in 1992. Each year, the United Nation. With students and teachers from across the school various activities and talents were conducted based on the plan shared below. Sharing a glipmse. https://youtu.be/aH4J0nwPjH4
GLOBAL CLIMATE ACTION PROJECT 2020
The theme of the Shiv Nadar School MUN Conference, 2020 was CLIMATE ACTION. Taking the theme forward the students of the Middle and Senior School of the Shiv Nadar Noida participated in the Climate Action Project, a global event which was attended by participants across 130 countries. The major objective of the Initiative was to influence young minds, catalyse global awareness and enhance critical thinking. The project was in collaboration with WWF, United Nations and NASA supported by the government of 15 countries.
During the six-week journey the students were exposed to various aspects of climate change and have a global perspective through interaction with teachers and experts from across countries. Our proud global change-makers came up with solutions to climate change after building foundational knowledge, considering bias and scientific evidence, establishing trusted sources and creating personal connections with the work of environmental justice. The opportunity to be a part of this global event offered students to learn to collaborate, understand empathy, think critically and most importantly take action.
The students took the pledge to make this world a better place!
THE DIALOGUE PANEL DISCUSSION- Flagship series of Shiv Nadar Schools
The Dialogue Panel Discussion is a flagship series of Shiv Nadar Schools, bringing relevant contemporary issues and expert speak, within our learning spaces. In November 2020, we hosted our first virtual Dialogue.
The topic of the Dialogue was ‘Globalisation - The Post Covid Story’. On the panel were experts from various fields, spanning Economics, International Relations, Journalism, and Food and Culture. The discussion was moderated by Mannat Ahmed Khan and Shounak Nath of Grade 12 CBSE and IB respectively. The issues discussed included economic cooperation and self-sufficiency in the current global context, isolation or interdependence as an international strategy, impact of the pandemic on the flow of capital, ideas, cultures and people, to name a few. The panel was an insightful and engaging exploration of the many facets and dimensions to the effect of the pandemic on globalisation.

ANANDAM 2020
Anandam is a culmination of yearlong learning, where students come together to celebrate and share their learning through different baskets of AHA- Visual Arts, Dance, Music and Theatre. This year the students of Grade 9 to 12 engaged in the celebration virtually, giving their performances from the confines of their homes.
Art gives us freedom of expression and it was only apt that the Aha Festival Management students chose the theme ‘Freedom’ for this year’s Anandam. Incredible range of work was presented by the students on the theme exploring Freedom as a social construct. There were solo and group performances in music and dance where they showed their expressive qualities and conveyed their interceptive decisions. Plays were inspired by stories of WWI, navigating freedom in the times of the Internet and displacements of migrants. The students had discussions with historians, researchers and radio drama artists to understand freedom in different contexts. There was a visual art exhibition by students exploring conventional and unconventional mediums giving expression to their thoughts.

That’s What Classmates Do – Digital Empowerment Programme (Parent led Initiative)
Strengthening the Spirit of Inclusion in times of Connected Learning
The Shiv Nadar School is committed to the creation of an equitable and inclusion based society by empowering individuals to bridge the socio-economic divide. Aligned with this school's philosophy, the parents of Shiv Nadar School Noida came forward and initiated the campaign ‘That’s what Classmates Do’. The campaign was for our neighbourhood students, to continue their learning through online classes just like their classmates.
The aim of this initiative was not to leave any child behind. The parent community, our staff and The Siv Nadar Foundation came together and contributed devices for the connected learning programme. These devices were handed over to the neighbourhood children to ensure they have access to a device and internet connection for an uninterrupted attendance, learning and equal opportunity.
