Mumbai: a network of relationships between educators and associations of different religions

In October 2019, the Indian Edu2Edu collaborators travelled from different cities to Mumbai for a weekend experience. It turned out to be an occasion to build a strong educational pact, living a new and unique method of dialogue, trust and joy in discovering that educators and students form one body. A number of interactive workshops outlined Education for Peace, Use of Social Media in Education, Teens’ Relationship Enhancement, Sports4Peace, How to Develop Value Quotient in Educators, etc. The focus throughout the programme was the centrality of children and adolescents in the educational relationship, in an effort to help younger generations become active citizens and changemakers.

Edu2Edu promoters also travelled to Mumbai from Italy, Switzerland and USA. From Mumbai they went to visit various cities. The visit to the Gandhian Shanti Ashram of Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, gave rise to a rich cultural exchange and an intense dialogue with volunteers of the Ashram involved in health and education projects for underprivileged children. The facilitators also interacted with students who are involved in poverty solution projects and commit to help other children from disadvantaged backgrounds to access to food and education.
