AFS Exchange Programme – Madurai

Exchange programs are a vital aspect of modern education, designed to equip us for future challenges. This year, we had an opportunity to participate in a domestic exchange program in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, which offered us a deep insight into its vibrant culture. Our experience was enriched by field trips to Rameshwaram, Dhanushkodi, the Keeladi archaeological site, and more. Staying with host families allowed us to immerse ourselves in their way of life and share our own cultural values.
Our time at Shri Aurobindo Mira Universal School also provided a fascinating look at different teaching and sports methods. The special Tamil language sessions were the perfect finishing touch. Overall, this exchange program was a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience that brought together students from three states, helping us gain valuable insights and preparing us for community engagement.
