Schools affiliated to Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in Indore are premiering in real-life education for students with inculcation of tourism-based projects and assignments utilising the most of summer vacation.
Union ministry of tourism started an initiative called ‘YUVA Tourism Clubs’, which CBSE instructed all its affiliated schools to implement in the campus.
The purpose of starting tourism clubs is to “nurture and develop young ambassadors of Indian tourism who would become aware of tourism possibilities in India, appreciate our rich cultural heritage and develop an interest and passion for tourism”.
Though CBSE issued instructions for the same recently, schools in Indore have already pioneered the drive and have formed Yuva Tourism Clubs with various club exercises.
Tourism clubs integrate experiential learning by:
Events club of the school and the Tourism Club come together to arrange a tour event outside the school or an awareness event within the school.
Photography and Media club can accompany the Tourism Club to capture nostalgic moments and stories.
Environment and Nature club can see application of ideas and concepts learnt in various lessons when on a trip arranged by the Tourism Club. The effort can be to promote sustainable tourism.
EHIS students to return with business analysis & innovative ideas on tourism
“At our school, we have always an international culture, which requires students to learn with practical learning and hands-on projects. Hence, we always incorporate experiential learning. Students living in school boarding even take up tours frequently to learn about practical ways of the industry. Our school students have always taken such initiatives. This year, we also gave them projects on the likewise topics in different subjects to understand the management, promotion, business and roots of tourisms in India. Most students will return to school with a report about their learning from the trip. Many of the ideas presented by students often transform into successful businesses at our school.”
