WEBINAR ON ANTI CRACKER CAMPAIGN
Robert Orben once said that, “There's so much pollution in the air now that if it weren't for our lungs there'd be no place to put it all.”
And this quote suits the current situation of Delhi. Thus, being the part of environment council all of us took an initiative to conduct a webinar on anti-cracker as this is the biggest source of air pollution now a days in Delhi. People think that banning crackers is the solution for the rising air pollution but that’s not true because people will still buy crackers illegally and burn them as their mind set is such that they don’t know the consequences of it. Crackers are like a toy to them. Thus, to make them aware we first have to make their children aware because they are the future of our country and they will be victim of today’s pollution and will suffer. The webinar that we conducted recently was a great success. The webinar was conducted by the vice presidents of the club with the help of the members. It was a five-day webinar for classes 4th - 8th. Also, it was the first time that we did a virtual webinar for classes 4th and 5th as well. Our main aim was to make more and more children aware about the growing air pollution and harmful effects of crackers and how it can even cause death to people with severe respiratory and heart problems. We also told them that at this time when the whole world is fighting with COVID-19 and people who are suffering from COVID-19 and are home quarantined or are in hospitals. So, if the air becomes more polluted after buring crackers on Diwali then it will be a death like situation for them. And by listeningto all this they all took a pledge to not burn crackers in future and got to know that it is indeed a very horrible situation. At the end of the webinar there was with a skit conducted by the dramatics club of our school that we showed to the children.

ONLINE CAREER FAIR BY GEECS
Global Engagement in Education & Counselling Support organised the Webinar based " VIRTUAL - Selective University Fair” for students of class 11th and 12th on 14th August, 2020 at 3pm through a zoom link. This Fair was curated by former admissions/international Recruitment officers, University professors, Teachers and counselors from some top schools in the country today.
The Webinar was kick started by one of the organisers discussing about the current situation of the educational sector, the impact of covid and the new education policy.
The first speaker was from Flame University, where she covered the philosophy behind Flame’s courses, Admission criteria, fees structures etc. According to the speaker, what sets Flame apart from its peers is its liberal education structure. They are a compulsorily residential university and are situated in Lavale, Pune, Maharashtra.
The next speaker was a representative from Istituto Marangoni. He claimed that Istituto Marangoni is among the top fashion universities if not occupying the top position itself. They are an Italian origin chain of universities and that they have one of their facilities located in Mumbai.
Up next was the Switz Education Foundation. They represented a number of esteemed European universities some of which are Swiss Hotel Management School, Cesar Ritz, Hotel Institute Montreux etc.
The following speaker was a representative of University of Greenwich, who are a Britain based group of universities and have 3 campuses in total.
Representatives of University of Victoria were also present at this fair. They are located in Canada and are a multidisciplinary university.
Next-up was Ahmedabad university. They were a research-based university and are more focused on liberal education.
The fair ended with Krea University, however due to frequent audio cuts, it became very difficult to understand what their representative was saying, and unfortunately due to this reason participants were not able to gain much information about their prestigious institution.
All in all, the air was a very successful one, wherein I got the chance to acquire a lot of information about a multitude of universities. This was definitely a much-needed experience. I would like to appreciate the efforts taken by the GEECS to ensure that students are able to gain the exposure that they require and deserve, which is especially important at such a crucial point of time in their careers, and trying, to the maximum extent possible that the crucial seminars never stop.
