Also, the girls are really looking forward to the event as it is a golden chance for them to showcase their skills.

V. Nynita, a Class VI student of SFS School, feels the forum will help them meet artists from various countries and allow them to improve their performance. “This is the first time that we are moving to a different territory to perform,” she says.

R.H. Tina, another student of the same school, is very excited at the thought of sharing stage space with international artists. She says that she participated in various inter-school contests held at divisional and district levels but this platform gives her a unique experience.
