The Ryan Group of Institutions, celebrating its 50-year milestone in education, is hosting the 21st Ryan International Children's Festival in Mumbai. This prestigious event will gather more than 10,000 students from Ryan schools throughout the city, alongside 15 international delegations representing countries from Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Established in 2000, the festival has been a cornerstone for international cultural exchange, welcoming participants from over 70 countries. This year, highlights include the musical production 'Let's Have Fun', a celebration of meaningful connections in today's digital age, and a global carnival involving interactive workshops and cultural engagements.
In addition, the festival fosters international friendships through its student hosting program, as visiting students reside with Indian families to promote deeper cultural understanding.
