Christ Nagar International School Hosts German Students for Cultural Exchange Programme_

Christ Nagar International School (CNIS), Thiruvananthapuram, is hosting a group of 21 students and three members of the faculty from St. Thomas-Gymnasium, Wettenhausen, Germany, as part of an ongoing international cultural exchange programme between the two schools.

The exchange programme, which aims to foster cross-cultural understanding and international friendship, involves students from each school working together on a project exploring various aspects of Indian and German culture.

The first phase of the programme took place in April 2026, when 22 students from Christ Nagar International School, accompanied by two faculty members, visited their German partner school from 17 to 28 April. The second phase brings the German students, along with their Principal and two teachers, to Thiruvananthapuram from 2 to 12 November 2026.

The programme provides students with a valuable opportunity to experience a different culture, understand new traditions, and develop an appreciation of linguistic and cultural diversity.

Christ Nagar International School warmly welcomes its German counterparts and looks forward to a memorable and enriching exchange that strengthens the bond between the two schools.

 

A Bridge Across continents: The Indo-German Cultural Exchange

The vibrant corridors of our school were transformed into a cultural melting pot when a group of 20 enthusiastic German students and their dedicated teachers and Principal arrived as part of the ongoing Cultural Exchange Programme between Christ Nagar International School, Trivandrum, and St.-Thomas-Gymnasium Wettenhausen, Germany. They were with us from 28 October to 8 November. This enriching experience fostered cross-cultural understanding, strengthened international bonds and left an indelible mark on our school community.
