Building Community Partnerships

                        With Christmas just around the corner, the students of Velammal NewGen School, Medavakkam, teamed up and visited the neighboring community. It enhanced learning for them.

  

Community connections support curriculum as it provides experiential opportunities for students and Velammal believes that community connections can be culturally specific resources to develop a culturally inclusive classroom.

With the objective to connect and create an authentic bond with the neighboring community, the school students went to the people who matter the most, to meet them on their own turf, on a community walk, sang Christmas carols, enacted skit, performed dances and spoke about the significance of the tamil month ‘margazhi’ on 17^th December 2018.    

The school delivered them an open invitation to reconnect, collaborate and share their experience, skills and time to make a difference.
