SPMVV hosts Bridge Course to promote cross-cultural learning
The programme brings together students from Malaysia, Taiwan, Bangladesh, and Botswana, along with local students, to promote cultural exchange and global understanding
Sri Padmavati Mahila Visvavidyalayam (SPMVV) in Tirupati is hosting a week-long Bridge Course focused on Indian Heritage and Culture. This initiative, under the PM-USHA program, is part of the Centre for International Relations at SPMVV. The course is designed to foster cultural exchange and global understanding among students from Malaysia, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Botswana, and local students.
By engaging directly with international peers, participants aim to broaden their global perspective and develop a deeper appreciation for Indian culture. The programme incorporates a variety of activities, including academic sessions, workshops, cultural events, community interactions, and educational visits to places like temples, SVITSA, local markets, and rural communities.
This blend of learning experiences provides participants with both academic knowledge and practical exposure to Indian traditions, festivals, yoga, music, dance, cuisines, and crafts. Over the course of the week, seven major academic/cross-cultural sessions are complemented by three hands-on cultural activities, ensuring a balanced approach to learning.
Additionally, a dedicated cross-cultural session allows Indian and international students to share their unique customs and experiences. Prof. Vennam Uma, the SPMVV Vice-Chancellor, encouraged all participants to actively engage with fellow students and the local community to gain a comprehensive understanding of Indian culture and establish meaningful academic connections.
