Two teachers of Oban High School, Scotland visited G.D.Goenka World School from April 8th-10th, 2013 to develop partnership on ‘Learn to preserve-endangered species’. Students have already researched and shared information on endangered species of India and Scotland. The students of G.D. Goenka World School declared the week as ‘Animal Awareness Action Week’ and presented excellent assemblies and exhibition portraying various issues related to endangered animals of India. Expressions of dance and art were also showcased to the guests who appreciated and lived happy moments in the school campus. The school reached out to Wild Life Trust of India to organize awareness programs by their experts which was much appreciated by the whole school community. As the visit was highly focused on the project, the guests visited National Museum of Natural History and National Zoological Park and TERI GRAM (The Energy and Resource Institute, New Delhi.
