UAE schools join forces to celebrate cultural diversity

UAE schools join forces to celebrate cultural diversity

 A people's culture is an important component of their traditions, practices, and languages, and it influences society as a whole. Every Indian celebrates India as a land of varied cultures, ringing the grandeur of our great country. A civilization that values diversity teaches us the value of coexisting with nature and teaching tolerance, harmony, and respect.

In light of this, JSS Private School was pleased to host the third season of Sanskriti - The Pride of India, an interschool cultural competition. The school's yearly celebration was a resounding success. Students from kindergarten classes from the 13 participating schools performed dance and song performances.

It was quite exciting to see these young participants' incredible talents as they performed much above the viewers' expectations, not to mention their enormous love and respect for their nation.

The school created another program by the Arabic department called Loghaty Hwyaty to further the theme of cultural diversity (My Language is My Identity). There were 20 schools from the UAE that participated in this interschool Indo-Arab Poetry Competition. Students from both Arab and non-Arab backgrounds had a great opportunity to share their love of poetry through Loghaty Hwyaty.

Both programs were an extension of artistic expression, which is one of the many pillars of cultural interchange along with art forms, creativity, language, and poetry.

The main emphasis of JSS Private School is always on fostering knowledge, cross-cultural interchange, innovation, sensitivity, and imagination.
