Routes 2 Roots Launches its First Ever International Language Education Program for Overseas Students

Routes 2 Roots extends its cultural education initiative beyond the arts and starts its first ever language program for international students. The NGO has joined hands with the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) to develop a special communication course for international students who come to India on ICCR scholarships. While studying in the country, most of these students face difficulties communicating because they are not comfortable speaking either English or Hindi. The new course is designed to help make their stay and day-to-day interactions easier.

The three-month programme will consist of 36 lessons, each lasting 90 minutes, and will focus on practical communication skills in both English and Hindi. The program aims to help students feel more confident as they interact with people and navigate life in India, while it will also educate them on the culture and customs of India. It is also a step further in the NGO’s commitment to take education beyond known horizons to change lives.
