What is GCEI and What are its goals?
As Benjamin Franklin once said, "Tell me and I forget, Teach me and I remember, Involve me and I learn". Global Culture Education Initiative works on the same line. It is a platform which is working on the sustainability of ecosystem globally and internationally. It's mission is to encourage and facilitate critical awareness of international mindedness and environmental stewardship among K-12 schools and educational partners, domestically and internationally. It also wants to encourage the integration of existing curriculum into the common threads of international and civic mindedness and also to encourage imaginative thinking about the what and and the where of learning places and spaces. GCEI was first introduced to us by Mrs. IndraniLahiri, Co-founder of GCEI and also the Advisor of Doon International Public School. Presently GCEI is working with 5 countries which includes India, USA, Tanzania, Norway and Liberia. This year’s topic is "Green Energy". The students from all five countries are interacting with each other frequently and discussing about the environmental impact of using non- Renewable sources of energy and advocating about using Green sources of energy. DIPS has put forward it's best students - Vinti Thapa, Anjali negi, Ambika panwar, Aditi Kalura, Siddharth Sharma, Shreyash Pant, Phalguni Joshi, Pranjal Tomar, Angel Bisht, Aastha, Aditi Binjola, Akriti Rayal, Ganesh Uniyal, Vaibhav Bahuguna who are working on this topic and are representing India on International Platform, under the guidance of their teachers Ms Divya Painuli and Ms. Pooja Kukreti. DIPS is happy to provide this adventurous and learning experience to its students and will continue to do so in future.
