Canadian students learn about Indian Culture

Globalization is the way forward – quite literally when it comes to Student Exchange Programs across schools and universities around the globe.

We see a lot of our students going to countries around the world, and students from around the world coming to be a part of exchange programs. These programs have been gaining importance and recognition with regards to learning about cross-cultural communication and socio-economic aspects of health and human rights.

A group of 6 Canadian students spent their summer exploring India. The 6 students are currently undergoing a one month exchange program at Parul University. They have spent their summer researching and gaining knowledge through inspiring visits to Champaner, Jama Masjid, Agra Fort, Taj Mahal and Gandhi Ashram.

This year’s program goes beyond cultural exchange, as it also embraces sharing of knowledge through extensive research projects, both in Indian and Canadian societies. The Summer School Program provide opportunity to students in having first-hand experience of the Indian Culture while they also get a taste of Indian Education.

One of the participating students reflected her visit to the heritage sites- “I believe the research we will be conducting at the end of this program regarding the various aspects of cross cultural communication, will go a long way in providing foreigners with various ways to adapt to changes in the social ecosystem.”

The diversity across the globe plays a pivotal role in bringing the human race closer, and programs such as these open the gateway to understanding it.
