VidyaGyan student exchange programme

Students' Reflections - VidyaGyan student exchange programme - by Kimaya Khanna (8 Sariska), Anya Khanna(8 Kanha), Tara Jain(8 Sariska)

"The experience at VidyaGyan School is something I will always remember. For us, this programme truly helped us step out of our comfort zones and allowed us to meet new people from different backgrounds. We had the opportunity to learn about different cultures and religions, which made the experience both enjoyable and enriching. More than anything, it helped us understand how people from diverse backgrounds live their daily lives. The students at VidyaGyan were extremely warm, friendly, and hospitable.

Our two days at VidyaGyan were filled with exciting and meaningful activities. We began with fun ice-breaking sessions, after which we were paired with our VidyaGyan buddies. This helped us build friendships and work together easily. One of the highlights of the visit was the hands-on cooking session, where we prepared nutritious food such as ragi cake, upma, and halwa. The activity was not only enjoyable but also taught us the importance of healthy eating and teamwork.

After the cooking session, we enjoyed a delicious lunch and some much-needed siesta! In the evening, we participated in various sports activities and group skits that were entertaining and creative. After dinner, everyone gathered around a bonfire, where we showcased our different talents and enjoyed revari and peanuts. The atmosphere was joyful and memorable!

Another exciting part of the visit was the pottery session, where we got a chance to be creative and try something completely new. Following this, we visited Moolgyan and explored nearby farms. This experience helped us connect with nature and understand farm life beyond what we learn in textbooks. We also enjoyed tasty snacks during the visit and took part in a reflection session, where we thoughtfully looked back at everything we had learned during our time at VidyaGyan.

Overall, this visit was a wonderful learning experience that taught us valuable lessons about life, community, and cooperation. It helped us grow as individuals and appreciate different ways of living. We truly look forward to meeting the students of VidyaGyan again and carrying these memories with us forever.
