Riddhima Khajanchi , Harshita Saraswat, Khushboo Vyas and Nehal Gehlot with their Teacher Incharge Mrs. Suman Rathore participated in the Round Square Postcard Call on the topic ‘Multicultural Dubai’ on 30th September 2020. Thirteen elite national and international member schools of Round Square from all over the world participated in this prestigious event which started with the Introduction. The organisers first showed a video clip of the changes occurred in Dubai between 1960 - 2020. Then they introduced Dubai as a ‘Global Village’, the hub of multicultural festivals, food, safety etc. Though Islamic country, there are people from 90+ countries living in Dubai. All the festivals are celebrated here with no prejudices. Dubai is one of the safest country in the world. They enlightened the audience to the fact that the land of Dubai is not supportive to agriculture, they have adopted new farming techniques like Hydrophonic and Aerophonic.
Students were then divided into breakout rooms. There was a Barazza Session in which there was an activity called Spinning Wheel which consisted of topics for interaction like superstition, food, history etc. Teachers were also asked about their lockdown teaching experience.
After a session of 90 minutes the Postcard call was over but the participants were enriched by sharing their culture with each other. The main objective behind this small program was that all participants should be familiar with the culture of different countries around the world.
