As part of the school's commitment to interfaith learning through dialogue and cultural exchange; on Tuesday,16 April 2016, five students from grade 8 took part in a video conference with a school from Israel called Reut Middle School. The video conference was hosted by the Tony Blair Foundation's Face to Faith online programme. The online learning community was designed to deliver a pioneering education programme to help prevent religious and ideological conflict. This organisation facilitates video conferences with many different faith schools from any country with different backgrounds. The students share views about peace life-style and culture. When we shared and listen to each other, the students learn to embrace an open-minded approach to others, to accept diversity and learn to have greater tolerance.
It was a great activity introduced to the students in IB MYP Individuals & Societies (InS) as part of the schools humanities classes in grade 8, taught by Pak Donny. It was a really fun experience for the students.
The most interesting part is; on that day, on the same hour, SVP's neighbouring school, Sekolah Al Azhar 9 Kemang Pratama, is also conducting a video conference with Palestinian Students from a School in Palestine. Here are some Video and photos of the video conference:
