A foreign trip and some lessons in cultural pluralism

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: A group of 15 students and two teachers from Delhi Public School R. K. Puram have returned from Korea after participating in a weeklong cultural exchange programme with Anyang Foreign Language High School there.

The purpose of the programme, which ended on August 29, was to promote and inculcate in the students respect and love for people of diverse cultures.

The school said the visit truly helped the students understand the meaning of the motto "Vasudhaiva Kutumbkam'' (The whole world is one family).

Earlier in the year, a group of 13 students and three teachers from the South Korean school had been hosted by DPS R. K. Puram. During that visit, the delegation had also met the President of India.
