Global Indian International Schools across geographies have once again come together to celebrate the new age innovation and talents with Real World Conventional Challenges, 2022 which was hosted by GIIS SMART Campus Singapore. This year marks the 11th consecutive year for RWCC and the theme for this year was GAIA i.e .Green And Innovative Alternatives for Earth. This was in line with one of the many United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

RWCC is an international competition among all GIIS campuses. It encourages students to collaborate and network with one another, come up with ideas that solve real-world problems and present the entire process to their team members and mentors. To support the bigger mission, students across campuses come together with their young and creative ideas to make the world a better place. 

Students participated in events like Student Conference, Quality Circle Presentations, Transformation Turncoat, OPUS, Smart Strokes, Entrepreneurial challenge, and sports challenge all of which were held physically at campus after 2 years of virtual events.

Students from GIIS Balewadi participated and brought laurels back home as they secured positions in the following categories:
