Summer Camp
Posted on 10th April 2012
German School Chennai is proud to inform you about the planning process for our first summer camp!
As an international school, our aim is to make intercultural experience also possible beyond the classroom. For our first summer camp we could win a local school on Maldives as a partner for a cooperative project.
In partnership with Marcus Hauck, holder of the diving school „Dive Point“, we are going to organize memorable, adventurous holidays for the kids! Beyond great diving experiences, we are going to broaden our minds and find out more about global warming and its impact on the Maldives. One could not envision a better place than the Maldives to combine intercultural experience, unforgettable holidays as well as an enormous learning experience about such an important topic as global warming. The atoll is providing beautiful beaches, crystal clear water as well as a unique diversity and richness of animals and vegetation.
However, the crystal clear water of the Maldives is blessing and curse at the same time. 90 % of the national territory is covered by water. The majority of the over 1100 islands is located only one meter above the sea level. Another increase of the sea level as a result of the global warming could on long term perspective flood the Maldives.
During our summer camp, our desire is to raise the children’s awareness for the protection of our nature. We want to explore and understand, how everybody can make a difference by changing his daily behavior.
The diving experience is going to be a pedagogy approach to make experiences of self-efficiency possible and help the children to overtake responsibility for their lives as well as for our precious nature.

Inauguration of the new facility in Palavakkam on the 24th of July 2011

Exactly one and a half year after the official opening of the German School Chennai we were now able to celebrate probably the most remarkable sign of the progress we did – the movement into a bigger facility. It was therefore only reasonable to invite the families, close partners and honourable supporters of politics and economics to indulge in reminiscences, share visions and joyfully follow the wonderful program that our children presented.
