The students of GIIS Thailand participated in ‘The International Familie’- a virtual family unity conference on 25th February 2021. It was organised by the City Montessori School (Rajajipuram Campus II), Lucknow. 

Family is the bond we live and experience from day one. The family acts as a support system to an individual and is a source of encouragement for each member. City Montessori School organised this conference with the belief that family values are important to strengthen social unity. They aimed to inculcate in students respect for family values and to make them realise the strength of family bonding. This event contained a series of competitions to hone the intrinsic and latent abilities in children and to help them demonstrate their inherent talents. 

GIIS Thailand envisions to inspire students to become socially motivated and conscious citizens of the world by exposing them and encouraging them to participate in various competitions, whereby the students become self-assured, confident, self-disciplined, and cultured.

The competition was categorized into 5 events and conducted virtually. The competitions were as follows:

1. Le Costume Deguise - where the participants were required to dress up according to the theme (Fruits & Vegetables)  and click a picture in portrait form with their mothers

2. Waste-O-Mania - The participants were required to make a recycled product along with any two members of the family

3. Musique - The participants were required to record a video, singing a song expressing their love for the family

4. Lineage - The participants were required to upload a picture with their grandparents doing  any activity of spending time together

5. Collais - The participants were required to create a collage of family photographs

Two students from GIIS Thailand bagged prizes in the following categories:

1. Ms Tadchanok Suriyakanon (Grade III) - First Position in Lineage (Group B)
2. Master Peerapat Plernpruksha (K3) - Second Position in Le Costume Deguise (Group A)

These messiahs depicted their love and bonding with their families, braving the unprecedented pandemic situation and proved they strongly believe in culture and follow good food habits depicting the essence of their lives through the photographs they shared for the event.
