As part of the trip, the students attended a Youth Empowerment programme at the Art of Living International Centre in Bangalore, India. The 'Art of Living', as taught by the internationally renowned institute, is all about leading a normal and enjoyable life, amidst all the tensions and stresses that overwhelm today's society. During the course of the one-week programme, the students learned how to face life with a positive attitude through relaxation techniques like meditation, yoga and a healthy lifestyle.
Menaka Ramakrishnan, one of the participants, said
"I am proud to have participated in the outreach programmes to interact with my counterparts in India. I had also heard of 'Art of Living' before but I never thought it would be such an intense experience. I look at life differently now, I am grateful for what I have and I hope to put my skills and talents to full use to achieve more in life and contribute to society in a meaningful way."
