ISA ACTIVITY-CULTURAL EXCHANGE THROUGH SKYPE
A collaborative activity was recently organized by Birla School, Kalyan for its seventh grade students and the students of Elizabeth Forward School in the US. The activity was mainly to have a valuable cultural exchange on the popular dance forms of India, US, China and Italy. For this, a Skype session was planned and conducted between the schools. Our students showcased different mudras used in Bharatnatyam to the students of the US. Their students also performed tap dance and an exchange of information on their cultures took place between them. Birla School students then exhibited their leadership skills by making power point presentations to their co- students and parents.
