Forming global connections in India

The first Global Girl Leading International Study Tour to India was an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.

Hosted by St Mark’s Group of Schools, students took part in Anjali International Friendship Week, joining 176 students from 20 countries in a vibrant celebration of culture, collaboration and leadership. From breathtaking dance performances and multilingual exchanges to thoughtful discussions on the Sustainable Development Goals, students embraced every opportunity to learn and connect. The week concluded with the colourful Global Friendship Fiesta, celebrating identity, creativity and lasting international friendships.

Students also explored the former homes of Indira Gandhi and Mahatma Gandhi, deepening their understanding of India’s history. They finished with a visit to the magnificent Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri in Agra, experiencing first-hand the grandeur of India’s historic imperial architecture.

This was a truly inspiring journey into leadership, learning and global sisterhood. We are grateful to St Mark’s Group of Schools for their hospitality and we look forward to welcoming their students to our summit in October.
