Fifty two Class 11 students of Lalaji Memorial Omega International School, Kolapakkam, participated in a human rights video conference on March 3.

Omega was the only school in India invited to take part in ‘Empowering Youth for Peace and Sustainable Development’, a United Nations VC that took place through the night (in New York it was daytime!). The students connected with schools from Mexico, the Philippines, USA, Canada, Kuwait, and Democratic Republic of Congo, to debate an action plan global in scope but local in action.
