Kangra schoolkids interact with Cameroon students
As many as 32 students from Girls Government Senior Secondary School (GSSS), Indora, and PM Shri Government Senior Secondary School, Gangath, in Kangra district took part in a virtual International Cultural Exchange Meet held via Google Meet.
Students from Cameroon, a Central African country, joined the session along with their teacher Robert Kenfack.
Purpose of the exchange
The interaction was organised to help students from India and Cameroon learn about each other’s culture, food habits, popular sports, geography and aspects of social life.
According to Mohan Sharma, Principal of Girls GSSS, Indora, such global sessions aim to develop a sense of global citizenship, improve communication skills and deepen mutual understanding among schoolchildren.

Educational benefits
Teachers highlighted that regular exposure to international peers can broaden students’ perspectives beyond their immediate environment.
They also stressed that these programmes encourage confidence in speaking, especially in virtual settings, and motivate students to take interest in global issues at an early age.
Voices from the schools
Mohan Sharma noted that connecting with classmates from another continent makes abstract ideas of “global citizenship” more concrete for rural students.
School staff expressed hope that such initiatives will continue and expand, allowing more students from Kangra to participate in similar cultural exchanges.
