City Montessori School, Station Road Campus had a wonderful day on 16th November, 2021 by sharing an amazing dialogue session through Video Conferencing. This Video Conference was organized by the team of Generation Global between four schools. The participating schools were from the countries Italy, Ukraine and India.

Around, 13 students from various sections of Class VIII participated in this VC. The topic of the VC was “The Rights and Inequalities”. The objective of this dialogue session was that the students get the opportunity to share and learn about rights and inequalities in different global contexts. They will have the opportunity to put this into practice key dialogue skills.

Students started talking about their personal experiences about rights and inequalities and how pandemic affected the rights, they gave good examples from their lives. Then they start discussing on how can they as students empower their rights, then they moved on speaking about some rights that may be misused, on which they came up with some examples. Then a question about discrimination let a student open her heart to share a powerful experience that students showed a high level of empathy that empowered the students and enrich the dialogue. Students articulated themselves well and confidently, they build a dialogue thread by answering each other and moving on smoothly.

Further, the students from various schools went into a deeper dialogue by sharing their thoughts on - What are your own experiences of inequality/equality? (In the module you looked at racism, sexism, land rights, freedom of belief, slavery.)

How has the recent pandemic impacted people’s rights and inequalities?

You have learned about power and oppression. How do factors like accessing the dialogue in your second or third language, access to technology, age and location impact on the experience?
