Sumgait, March 15 (INPS Japan) – The International Baccalaureate (IB) World School in Sumgait, the industrial city of Azerbaijan, provides a unique educational experience to its students. Consisting of eight schools, the institution teaches pupils about various cultures, histories, and languages worldwide.
As Azerbaijan prepared to celebrate Nowruz, the spring holiday of the world, the IB World School students presented an exciting cultural event, highlighting the school’s commitment to promoting multicultural understanding. The event featured a taste of different cultures worldwide, with traditional dishes and performances in unique costumes. Attendees savored various delicacies arranged on tables decorated with respective cultural motifs, amongst others.
The Nowruz celebration was not only about food and music. When I stopped by a Japanese booth, I saw the students read poems in Japanese about the arrival of spring, adding a cultural touch to the event.
The school’s curriculum and cultural activities instill in students a greater appreciation for the world’s diverse cultures, promoting a global perspective. The IB World School’s approach to education is an example of how institutions can nurture an understanding of and appreciation for diversity.
The Nowruz celebration was a perfect opportunity for the students to showcase their knowledge of various languages, cultures, and histories from around the world. The school’s approach emphasizes the importance of global awareness and cultural exchange, broadening students’ horizons and promoting an appreciation of the diversity of the world around them.
In a world that is increasingly interconnected yet devided, the IB World School’s dedication to promoting multiculturalism is essential. The school is providing students with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in a global society and embrace the rich tapestry of cultures that make up our world.
