"Virtual reality is the first step in a grand adventure into the land-scape of the imagination." - FRANK BIOCCAWe all know that in this difficult time, role of the most supportive asset is being played by technology. Using this technology a Virtual Conference was held on 3rd june 2020 between students from the Sanjay Ghodawat School, Kolhapur and Rajmata Krishna Kumari Girls' Public School, Jodhpur, India.
The main theme of the virtual conference was to facilitate exchange of culture and traditional practices followed in both the states and to cross-pollinate the measures taken in respective citied as well as by students to contribute in fighting against the Global pandemic.
After a brief introduction, students had an interactive session discussing varied topics of mutual interest. Discussion ranged around different cultures and various ways in which they are using this time productively.
The conference helped students get closer despite being miles apart and create potential opportunity to exchange and converge on various cultural nuances. It was an edifying and a gratifying experience which enabled us to look beyond our culture and understand the diverse civilisation of the manking in a better manner. It capacitated us to realise the significant role played by culture in moulding our day to day life and the way we view the great human civilization and it's relation with the mother earth, specifically during Covid-19.
We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to AFS India for arranging this virtual conference which broadened our Horizons.
"Cultural differences should not separate us from each other, but rather cultural duversity brings a collective strength that can benefit all humanity."
