The second session of the collaborative series focused on Diwali, India’s festival of lights. Students from South Korea, Indonesia, and our school joined forces to learn about the cultural significance and vibrant traditions associated with this joyous occasion. The session began with a brief presentation detailing the origins of Diwali and its celebration in India. Participants learned about lighting diyas, decorating homes with rangoli, exchanging gifts, and sharing festive sweets, all of which represent the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil.

Svaksha, one of our talented students, took the lead in an interactive workshop on crafting paper diyas. With enthusiasm and patience, she guided participants step by step, allowing everyone to create their own colorful diya. This hands-on activity symbolized the essence of Diwali—spreading light, positivity, and togetherness.

The session was not only a creative outlet but also a platform for cultural exchange. Students shared their own festival traditions, drawing parallels between Diwali and celebrations in South Korea and Indonesia. This enriching experience deepened mutual respect and understanding while strengthening the bonds among the students. The event concluded on a joyous note, leaving participants inspired and eager for the next collaborative experience.
