Languages are windows to different cultures, allowing us to connect with others from around the world. Each language encourages us to embrace new customs and cultural nuances.

To help the students understand the world from a new perspective and understand the culture of the two countries by exchanging a few interesting activities, Delhi Public School, Gurgaon and Escola Francesc Macià, Primary School in Vilassar de Dalt, Barcelona, Spain had commenced an online exchange programme in the year 2023 for the students of class IV and V.

• We received the videos of Spanish students from Barcelona introducing themselves. They talked about their daily routine and gave us a virtual tour of their school. Our students also created a similar video, entirely in Spanish. The links showing the introduction of the students from Escola Francesc Macià and DPS Gurgaon are shared below:
