Prudence marked its presence by participating in the 12th ITIHAAS Annual Summit on 29th January 2020 at the India International Centre organized by ITIHAAS on the theme "Learning as we travel- Chalo Chale."Our Prudenites Manya Munjal (Grade 7) and Ishaan Gupta (Grade 8), the student speakers shared their experience during the Perspective and Challenges session about their learning during ITIHAAS walk and following PBL curriculum and shared the dais with the Principals and heads of some very prestigious schools of Delhi and NCR. Educationists, bureaucrats, patrons of Arts and Culture, people involved with tourism and travel, School Principals, policymakers, guides and teachers, were invited to join the conversation. Four teachers from Prudence School, Ashok Vihar were also part of this conversation. A panel discussion by eminent guests emphasized upon increasing the significance of travel and experiential learning into the lives of the school children by incorporating it into their curriculum. The intent was to weave together the much emphasised ideas of Intelligence Quotient and Efficiency Quotient with their idea of ˜Heritage quotient'. Thus, bridging the existing gulf between the school curricula and heritage education. It was an enriching experience for both the students and facilitators who were a part of it.
