How To Make An Itinerary

Culture makes people understand each other better. And if they understand each other better in their soul, it is easier to overcome the economic and political barriers. But first they have to understand that their neighbor is, in the end, just like them, with the same problems, the same questions. Therefore to acquaint Mount Literans about the cultures, religions and major tourist places, Skype interaction was conducted with, Hongkong. The students displayed the itineraries and travel brochures prepared by them for India and Hongkong. They also exhibited vibrant and informative posters to promote tourism. The students were apprised about currency exchange rate of different countries through PPT’s. The students had a great time during Skype interaction as they virtually met people from different ethnicity. The activity boosted their confidence, improved their communication skills and lastly exhilarated their general knowledge. 

Pottery: In House

Mike Smocker has rightly said, “Learning, without any opportunities to share what we’ve learned, is a little like cooking for ourselves; we do it, but we probably won’t do it well.”Following this line of thought, Mount Literans availed an opportunity, where they visited the pottery centre and got acquainted with various kinds of pottery. A workshop was also conducted by the experts from Andretta Pottery Centre, Kasauli where the students attained profound knowledge about the creative art of pottery making. It was a great opportunity for the students because they got the firsthand experience in the sculpturing of pottery. After thorough research, analysis and on floor training of pottery, the students assimilated their experiences in form of scrapbooks, travel journals and articles.It was a wholesome experience for the students as it improved their cognitive and writing skills. They also tried to uplift the vanishing art of pottery.
