Chowgule College is currently hosting 16 students and 4 faculty members from Tullinge Gymnasium, a high school in Sweden. The group will be on a two-week stay in Goa where they will be introduced to Goan and Indian culture and given a peek into the lifestyle of Goa.
The Swedish students’ tour is part of the global vocational learning programme, Athena, which involves student exchanges. Chowgule College joined the programme in 2008. The students visited places of historic and cultural importance like Goa Chitra museum, wildlife sanctuaries, heritage homes, spice farms and religious places. They have also been to Daddy’s Home, an old age home, a drug rehabilitation institute and other centres run by NGOs for children and women.
Students from Chowgule College will in turn be visiting Tullinge Gymnasium in Sweden.
