Students at the Cultural Programme , Inter Student Exchange PRogramme 2006
This series was set up with the objective of promoting inter-communal tolerance, appreciation of diversity & “peace culture” among teachers and students in schools island-wide. In fulfillment of the broad objective of the programme which is to foster inter-community friendship and understanding among the younger generation, activities such as philosophical debates, joint art and culture programmes and a periodical inter -school newsletter were planned. The results of the Student Exchange Series have been extremely heartening and show a significant change in attitudes. This program which attracted wide media coverage, initially involved the participation of 45 schools in 15 districts. It is planned to increase this number bringing the total involvement to 300 schools.
