Suncity School sector 54 collaborated with Ashiya International Secondary School, Japan, to share knowledge and solutions to problems related to SDG 2, 3, 5,12 in the Japan Art Mile Mural Exchange Project. Students of International Academia and CBSE (MYP) began the exchange with a showcase of each other’s culture. Important issues like food wastage, gender discrimination in food consumption, commonalities in food of the two countries were shared and discussed, culminating in the expression of a beautiful mural painting. The mural fostered intercultural communication, understanding and friendship. It inspired our students to embrace diversity, celebrate cultural differences and opened their eyes to the larger world view on the SDGs.

Together the two partner schools sent the following message to the world:

Eat local, grow local. Do not waste food. Food should have no gender preference. We are all human beings and everyone needs to eat healthy to live healthy.

As more students engage in this project each year, they develop critical, creative thinking and problem solving skills, while translating solutions into meaningful visual expressions. This ‘beyond the classroom’ initiative opens a wider, larger canvas of expression for our students, helping them develop their nonverbal language of communication.
