The Indo-Russian Exchange Programme 'Cultural Convergence' between MBGEI Education Centre No. 7 and St. Xavier's High School conducted from March 18, 2024 to March 20, 2024 was a resounding success. It was truly a union of two nations, cultures and languages. The programme commenced with a solemn Russian hymn followed by the address of the Principal - MBGEI Education Centre No. 7, Ms. Galtsina Yana Gennadyevna. The Headmistress of St. Xavier's High School, Ms. Geeta Kanwar welcomed the Russian school Principal, faculty members and students with an open heart. An interesting video on Russian schooling system made her feel nostalgic and share the happy memories of the time spent with the Russians. 

Our Xaverians performed a euphonious Russian song, foot-tapping dance and soulful hymn. Our guest authors, Ms. Nilanjana Chatterjee and Ms. Harini Srinivasan added to the students' knowledge and perspective. The insights provided by them inspired and motivated our budding authors. Refreshing activities like 'Word Antakshari' and 'Epithet Escapade' were thoroughly enjoyed by one and all. These fun-filled activities provided a great opportunity for the students and teachers to interact with each other. A Russian student stunned everyone by her breath-taking performance of a Hindi song. The students of both the countries also penned their expressive compositions on the topic 'My Country, My Culture' and read it aloud with great zeal and fervour. 

The students were really grateful to the school management for taking such an initiative. The Headmistress of the school appreciated the efforts of the students and teachers who were instrumental in the successful conduction of this cultural exchange programme.
