The Award in Action - Adventurous Journey of Award Participants from Scindia Kanya Vidyalaya, Gwalior

Experience is the best teacher and nature gives the best experience!

Award Participants of Scindia Kanya Vidyalaya, Gwalior took to nature for hiking to many exciting spots in a short period of time, increasing hours spent on the trails.
These preliminary hikes were undertaken as a practice journey of The International Award for Young People.
In the month of December, SKVians experienced the worlds of Tapovan, Gwalior & the thickets of Kuno National Park. Award Participants explored every tiny learning opportunity through the dusty trails with Principal Mrs. Nishi Misra, identifying various aspects of forest growth and conservation.

It is believed that trekking is the finest approach to build your courage, accept the challenges, take in the scenery and breathe fresh air. The strongest bonds of boarding school are the unexpected lifelong experiences during trekking with friends and teachers.

The beauty of woods, covered with natural scented air and relishing snacks was all that we needed for our lifelong learnings.

We thank IAYP (The International Award for Young People, India) for encouraging our young trekkers to experience various adventure activities.

The Award in Action - Adventurous Journey at Oberoi International School - JVLR Campus, Jogeshwari East, Mumbai.

 The Phoenix has risen and finally landed!!

The first ever Adventurous Journey at OIS JVLR took place over the weekend of 2nd - 4th December, 2022. Award Participants themselves named the Adventurous Journey the ‘Rising of the Phoenix’ to recognise the first Adventurous Journey at the school since the pandemic.

All Award Participants had taken part in months of training and a very successful practice journey in November. We were supported by our activity partner, Jungle Lore, who had a set of experts and very experienced hikers. All hikes and camps took place in the Pune/Lonavala region. No two campsites were alike and as you can imagine the views were magnificent!

Award Leaders at the school were Lakmini Lee, Chris Lynn, Chandeen Santos, Pallavi Vartak, Antara Roy and Sneha Potnis. We collectively could not be prouder of our Award Participants pursuing The International Award for Young People.

A big shout out to our supportive parents and admin teams in helping organise these journeys.

The Award in Action- Bronze Award Participants from HAL New Public School, Bangalore

 "A clean person is not the one who runs away from the dirt but one who takes the time and effort to tidy-up a dirty environment"

The Bronze Award Participants of HAL New Public School, Bangalore conducted a Cleanliness Drive on 15.12.2022, at the HAL Vathsalya School for Special Education, Bangalore.

52 Award participants along with Award Leaders participated in the same. The objective of this drive was not just to clean but to share the feeling of happiness living in that environment. By cleaning the majority of ground covered with weeds, foliage and fungus, the students transformed it into a beautiful play area within a short span of time.

ARTIVITY DRIVE- “Art that is larger than Life”

Our students had a large display of more than 200 handprints of different colours imprinted on beautiful paper canvas. The need for the day is to be able to include differently abled children into our society and interacting with them is just one step closer to the idea.

The International Award for Young People participants had a euphoric moment of realization, with an amazing zest of emotional thread, intertwined while interacting with the students of HAL Vatsalya School for Special Education. They were radiating with enigmatic smiles, as they were seated beside each other in ripples of pragmatic aura. Our students had taken their time and efforts to pin their feelings down on a beautiful handmade card. They ended their interaction by sharing various lines of gratitude and deep insights of life lessons.

Above all they felt deeply indebted to the huge canopy of The International Award for Young People and their award leaders, who had extended their support and
contributed towards the successful completion of this milepost.

The Award in Action- Gold Award Participant- Debasmita

Debasmita, a Gold Award Participant from Jindal Vidya Mandir, Salav shares her experience with Public Speaking under the Skill section of the Award.

Being a stage person, I always felt the most confident while addressing the public. However, with increasing syllabus and more priority on academics, my life became more academically oriented. The International Award for Young People gave me an opportunity to give time to concentrate on my skills.
I addressed the youth of our college on Youth International Day, keeping in mind all the Cs' of Communication, body language, voice pitch and modulation, etc. which I enhanced through this Award Programme!
