Internationalism

International mindedness is “caught, not taught” by building an ethos that encourages certain habits of the mind and the heart, and certain actions and practices based on principles.

It fosters values, inculcates attitudes, develops abilities and encourages practices that underlie or facilitate the bridging of social and cultural differences.

The international venture at DPS Raipur seeks to go beyond the barriers of language, nationality, caste, creed and religion. We hitherto cement friendship without frontiers in a broader vista of understanding.

After a gregarious student cultural exchange experience of a fortnight, a group of 10 students along with 2 teachers returned to Delhi Public School, Raipur from Hounsdown Science College, Southampton, United Kingdom. They got an opportunity to attend Spanish, Ethics and Beliefs, art classes which gave them an insight into their education modus operandi and taught them to gel in team activities with British students.

Capitalising on their chance to share about their unique culture and tradition, the teachers representing DPS, Raipur showcased their talent in Henna designing, Rangoli, sand art, cooking and Hindi speaking which mesmerised the British students and teachers who took pride in trying them all.
