Welmun and Kamera Obscura

From 8th to 10th August, we embarked on a journey to Welham Boys’ School, Dehradun, to participate in Kamera Obscura 7.0, a prestigious photography competition and Model United Nations. The picturesque campus, nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, set the stage for an exciting blend of photography and debate. The three-day event was more than a competition; it was a celebration of creativity and expression. Ideas flowed, debates ignited, and every camera click captured a unique story. The atmosphere buzzed with discussions, the rustling of camera bags, and the quiet testing of equipment, creating a dynamic and inspiring environment. The Model United Nations event challenged us to think on a global scale. Representing countries, we debated real-world issues with intensity and passion. It wasn’t just about winning; it was about learning to listen, articulate our thoughts, and build bridges across ideas. The camera workshops and interactive sessions with Mr. VICKY ROY provided us with invaluable insights. The combination of both events made this visit truly memorable. Where one event sharpened our creative instincts, the other tested our intellectual and communicative prowess. As we look back on those three days at Welham Boys’ School, it gave us the perfect stage to challenge ourselves, learn from others, and grow. As we headed back, cameras in hand and debate notes tucked away, one thing was certain: these experiences would stay with us, not as mere memories, but as milestones in our journey of growth and discovery.
