Activities & Workshops
Activities and Workshops at GDS are aimed at developing the knowledge base through variety of methods.
These activities are designed to provide a guided exposure on various topics and issues. The activities are aimed at developing social and global awareness and to create a feeling of belongingness which helps to develop team spirit. The activites help to expand the contextual reference base of the children which is a critical factor for understanding various issues in the society.
GAP - Global Awareness Programme
Our Global Awareness Programme (or GAP) is aimed at providing a global exposure to our children. Through this programme children are made aware of various fields like science, current affairs, technology, economy, arts, military, politics, environment, etc.
GAP helps in consistently developing the child's sense of judgement, cultural belongingness and moral and ethical values on a global scale.
