A Global Collaboration in Learning and Creativity

Exploring the World, One Model at a Time

At Charles Dale Memorial International School, we don’t just teach geography, we bring it to life. This year, our students in Years 10 to 12 (ages 14–16) embarked on an exciting international project titled Mini Earth, collaborating with their peers at Bhavan’s B. P. Vidya Mandir, Koradi Nagpur, India. This global classroom partnership was part of a larger activity themed:
“Celebrating Traditional Art and Craft of Diverse Countries of the World.”

Learning Through Making

Our learners created stunning 3D landform models that visually represent different geographical features; from mountains and valleys to plateaus and rivers. This hands-on approach deepened their understanding of geography while sharpening their design, modelling, and creative thinking skills. It was more than a class project; it was a journey of discovery across continents, cultures, and disciplines.

Subjects like Geography, Creative Arts, Design, Mathematics, Science, Technology, and ICT all came alive through this initiative. The project nurtured skills in problem-solving, collaboration, and innovation; core competencies of a truly holistic education.

A Cultural Exchange Beyond Borders

In the spirit of internationalism, our learners joined forces with students from India, Indonesia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and Nepal to explore the richness of traditional art and craft in each country. Together, they conducted comparative studies, highlighting the uniqueness, history, and cultural significance of crafts from regions such as Karnataka (India), Indonesia, and Nigeria.

This cross-cultural study helped learners:

• Appreciate global heritage
• Understand diverse cultural identities
• Contribute to preserving traditions in a rapidly modernizing world

Why It Matters

Projects like Mini Earth don’t just teach students facts, they shape global citizens. Our learners are encouraged to think critically, collaborate across cultures, and express their creativity while anchoring their values in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those around Quality Education, Reduced Inequalities, and Global Partnerships.

Be Part of the Experience

At Charles Dale, we believe that real learning happens when curiosity meets opportunity. Mini Earth is just one of the many ways we expose our students to holistic, world-class education that prepares them to thrive – academically, socially, and globally.
