Digital has taken over the job market. Even terms like books in accounts are now files on a computer. Automation and digital platforms have changed the nature of jobs. With Artificial Intelligence starting to be adopted by companies across various industries, digital competency is no longer an additional skill, but prerequisite knowledge for any job. To be employable, one must be familiar with a variety of digital tools that differ from job to job.

Chaman Bhartiya School organized Kultural Sangam to celebrate Global Citizenship in collaboration with Parikrma Foundation, an India based NGO, and a Western Symphony Youth orchestra from Denmark. The event was graced by Thomas Sehested, Director of the Danish Cultural Institute and a renowned authority on Indian culture. The Danish Cultural Institute’s vision is that the exchange of arts, culture and knowledge can contribute to handling the challenges of globalization and strengthen the Sustainable Development Goals. Education at Chaman Bhartiya encompasses similar aspects as well. This synergy in vision led to the inception of this international intercultural association.

Children are naturally disposed to play. While playing, children learn a host of skills that help develop their personality, interpersonal skills, and even pick up essential leadership traits. Yet, today’s curriculum in schools separates learning and play with time set aside for both individual tasks. There is immense scope to integrate the natural disposition of children to play with the learning curriculum as children learn while playing without even knowing they are doing it.

A child’s growth is shaped by his or her parents, surroundings and the child’s school or the early learning environment. Exposure to the right kind of space can help the child form healthy habits and thought patterns that’ll pave the way for a strong foundation of complementary traits, attitudes, and skills.
