In an effort to foster cross-cultural understanding and enrich educational experiences, Tamil language learners from the Primary CBSE curriculum engaged in a vibrant online exchange programme with their peers at Vikaasa School, Madurai recently. During this interactive exchange, students dove into an array of discussions that spanned cultural practices, educational interests, and more. They shared insights into their daily routines, hobbies, and passions, discovering common ground and appreciating the unique aspects of each other's lives.

A significant focus was placed on the richness of Tamil culture, as students exchanged knowledge about the specialities of their mother tongues, traditions, and customs. They discussed the significance of festivals, explored famous tourist spots, and recounted tales of historical landmarks, thereby enhancing their understanding and appreciation of Tamil heritage. Practical tips for navigating cities, using public transport systems, and ensuring personal safety were shared, equipping students with valuable information.

Another topic covered during the exchange programme was the literary and artistic contributions of notable Tamil writers, poets, and artists, sparking a deeper interest in Tamil language and literature among the students. This interaction not only honed their linguistic skills but also exposed them to rare and fascinating aspects of Tamil culture, encouraging them to speak Tamil more fluently and confidently.

Overall, the initiative proved to be an enriching experience for the primary students. It was a step forward in cultivating a genuine interest in the Tamil language and culture, fostering a sense of global citizenship, and building bridges between young minds across geographical boundaries.
