Students of our school participated in the Mondialogo Contest. It is a contest with a difference, spreading over 7 months and over all time zones. All countries can participate and organized by UNESCO and funded by Daimler Chrysler.

Students are allowed to choose one amongst themselves as their leader a group limit of 30 members is given. They can choose from a wide range of topics mainly related with peace and cultural diversity.

Each team is paired with another team of a different country, through mails messages, letters, the teams have to correspond and prepare their project. The project is not a normal run of the mill kind of thing; the students have to actually work on the project. For e.g., the students can get a cultural program organized in their school, showcasing their cultural diversity. Further they can hold discussions for preventing the erosion of cultural diversity, distribute pamphlets. It is designed such that it is a lively project with real life results and not just sheaf’s of papers to present.

With so much to do the time seems short, as during this time the teams have to become well versed with each other and complete the project too, while simultaneously absorbing the others culture.

The project is a learning experience, teamwork, leadership, working on diverse ideas keeping everyone together with their morals up even if their ideas are not implemented. For a person who has participated can say it is one of its kind. Each of us feel at some point in our lives that we should in some way give back to the country, the earth, what it has given to us, but don’t know how to do it, especially in the case of students, this is the opportunity.

Whatever compulsions you may have, you have to find time to do things so whether it is the boards or anything else if you want to participate just go ahead you will find time by yourself, when you participate. So go and grab the opportunity while it is still there, sampling it will only give you the real taste......good luck the Mondialogo ship has just docked.....
