Students seemed to be committed to learning about the world in a way that books and school assignments can never reveal.

It true that when you experience a diverse culture through an educational exchange program, you gain a different perspective, a deeper understanding of yourself and those around you, thereby, deepening your knowledge of foreign cultures.

As part II of the Program, our students from India will be visiting Tyreso- Sweden from April 7th to April 23rd 2018. As the students gear up to take their journey to Sweden, they were taken on a quick culture course.

Earlier in January this year, students and teachers from Sweden visited India and the team worked on the project in Pune and Solapur. The programme mainly focused on the planning and development of a device that could support everyday life and worked on solar energy.

Sweden Exchange Programme 2017-18. The Sweden Exchange Program is an alliance where students from Tyreso -Sweden, The Orchid School, Pune & NKOCET, Solapur came together with a common idea to work towards Un Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDG) for affordable and clean energy.
