Recently, a Global Student Exchange (GSE) Learning Programme was conducted for the children of GIIS Ahmedabad, GIIS Balewadi, GIIS Tokyo and GIIS Surat. GIIS Ahmedabad hosted the much awaited event via Zoom Video Conferencing in November 2018, through which the participating teams were connected.

The topic provided to the students was “Truth in Advertising.” and the basic idea behind this was to give the students an opportunity to research, explore and spread awareness regarding the alarmingly growing concern related to health issues.

After much research, the children found out that several major corporate giants kept circulating products with little or no nutritional value which was extremely unfit for consumption.

The little sixth graders of each campus, put up amazing and elaborate PowerPoint presentations, displaying their findings. The little ones were then judged based on their Presentations, Creativity, Research and Probable Solutions. GIIS Ahmedabad placed first with GIIS Tokyo, GIIS Surat and GIIS Balewadi close behind.

Global Student Exchange or GSE is an initiative by GIIS, which is conducted across manifold campuses for the students to collaborate, learn and discuss various global issues with one another even though they are countries apart.
