World Heritage Week
“Old is gold, let’s care and share,
Heritage treasures everywhere!
From art to sites, big and small,
Let’s protect them, one and all!
Hands together, voices say,
Save our heritage every day!”
World Heritage Week was joyfully observed by the young learners of Prep to Grade II in the Pre-Primary section, embracing the meaningful theme “Protect the Heritage.” The week unfolded as a vibrant journey where curiosity met creativity, and learning came alive through engaging, hands-on experiences.
The enthusiastic learners explored the richness of global heritage and understood the importance of preserving “our pride” for future generations. Through thoughtfully designed activities, the children became little ambassadors of culture and conservation.
The highlight of the week was the creation of Heritage Booklets and Travel Journals, where the young minds documented fascinating World Heritage Sites by thoughtfully placing pictures, identifying names, and sharing simple facts. These take-away treasures not only enhanced their knowledge but also sparked a sense of responsibility towards safeguarding these wonders.
Adding a splash of artistic brilliance, the tiny artists enthusiastically explored traditional Indian art forms like Madhubani and Warli, expressing their creativity while connecting with cultural roots. Their artworks reflected both imagination and appreciation for age-old traditions.
The excitement soared high during the Traditional Dress-Up Activity, where children beautifully showcased the diversity of culture and traditions. It was truly a delightful “walk through heritage,” celebrating unity in diversity and instilling pride in our rich cultural legacy.
This walk transformed the space into a lively representation of different civilizations, with each display highlighting important monuments, ancient cities, and natural wonders. The experience sparked curiosity and admiration among students while expanding their understanding of global heritage.
World Heritage Week was not just a celebration—it was a step towards nurturing mindful, aware, and responsible young citizens who understand that heritage is a treasure to be loved, respected, and protected.
