In August we visited four of our partner schools - Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Ranchi, Delhi Public School Ranchi, Sarala Birla Public School Ranchi and Eklavya Model Residential School Rampilo.

The ThinkArts workshops brought German art and music to life, encouraging students to explore, engage and express themselves through meaningful conversations, hands-on activities and creative experiences. From Beethoven and Bach to Kandinsky, Anni Albers, Clara Schumann and Paul Klee, each session brought new perspectives, curiosity and joy.

STAMMTISCH KOLKATA!
If there is one thing that truly brings us together, it is music.
Some songs never grow old, and some artists remain forever in our hearts through the music they leave behind.
At yesterday’s Stammtisch, we enjoyed a wonderful musical journey through German hits spanning the 1950s to the present day. Our students performed a selection of these timeless classics, while the audience sang along, clapped, and swayed to the melodies.
It was an evening filled with joy, laughter, and a shared love of music.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us and made the evening so special and memorable. We look forward to seeing you again at our next Stammtisch on 11.11.2026!
