In pursuit of the global experience, Elpro International School, Pune (EIS) is leading the way in weaving commendable opportunities for their students. EIS, in association with its partner school in London, Wapping High School and SkillSphere Education designed a unique platform that defines the 21st-century global education.The two-day exclusive online conference 'Pangea - The Global Village' came to fruition on the 29th and 30th of January, 2021. With seven different schools participating from across Asia, Europe and South America, Pangea was a celebration of diversity and unity. Inspired by the concept of a single unified supercontinent, Pangea was conceived with the underlying theme of 'Compassion and Collaboration'.The Curtain Raiser for Pangea was graced by the presence of Lord David Evans, who is a Member of the Parliament at the House of Lords, UK, as well as a British publisher, entrepreneur and an advisor to EIS. He appreciated the concept of Pangea; and called it "An excellent name for a global village". He also added, "An international outlook is vital and it is our duty as educators to enable our children and students to have a broader view of the world."Pangea presented the students an immersive experience through a wide range of interesting events like El Autor (Collaborative Story Writing), Global Jigyasa (World Quiz), Synthesis (Group Discussion), El Canto (Collaborative Singing) and Kalakaari (Art Exhibit). Curated with the aim to allow students to engage in ideation, exchanging cultures, diverse experiences, teamwork and global awareness, Pangea was an amalgamation of world cultures. The events added to students' learning experience with international dimensions of contemporary education.On the occasion of the Valedictory Ceremony, Baroness Patricia Scotland, the Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, shared a beautiful message praising the commitment of EIS to encouraging global citizenship. "We look to the future with great hope, and with big plans for making our world a better place in which we all live together in health, peace and prosperity. That seems to me also to be the purpose and idea which motivates Pangea. It is encouraging to know that you are alongside us in this through your involvement with Pangea Global Village," she said.Dr Amrita Vohra, the Director-Principal of EIS, expressed her sense of fulfilment over the way Pangea unfolded. "There could be a physical distance between continents, but our thoughts thread the globe together." "Such initiatives", she added, "Like Pangea, will help students to be better equipped and better prepared for the unknown tomorrow-the future. The event has left us enriched and kindled some very good life-skills and values in us," she said."Pangea was primarily motivated keeping the students' best interests forward. It was heartwarming to see students of different nationalities come forward and participate, sharing thoughts and their learning with each other. The highlight has to be getting commended by the Secretary-General of Commonwealth, Baroness Patricia Scotland. It has given us huge motivation and made our belief for a unified world stronger," said Head of Communications and International Collaborations and the Convener of Pangea at EIS, Sugandha Khandelwal."Pangea - The Global Village is an incredibly powerful idea. I am delighted to see the way it has come to fruition. Witnessing participation from schools belonging to 8 different countries, and numerous luminaries from different walks of life including Mike Rann, Claire Ward and Lord Evans of Watford, Pangea 2021 was a magnum opus. SkillSphere Education looks forward to building an even bigger global village on the foundations of compassion and collaboration," said Ananth Prasad, Founder and MD of SkillSphere.With Pangea, EIS has taken a leap towards global education with international collaboration, thus making virtual learning relevant for the students of modern times. Every participating member had certain key takeaways from the virtual conference, which they will be able to implement in their schools, homes and in their personal lives. It was an enlightening and a fruitful learning experience that explored the possibilities of a borderless world.For more information, please visit .This story is provided by NewsVoir. will not be responsible in any way for the content of this article.
