Pune 1st April 2023: Around 20 students & faculty from Leeds Beckett University’s Carnegie School of Sport will be visiting ISMS college in Pune between 2nd April -13th April 2023. The initiative is a part of the student exchange program between ISMS and Leeds Beckett University in the UK.
It is the first time that Carnegie School of Sport from Leeds Beckett University is sending their students for a student mobility programme to India. British Visitor students will learn about various aspects of the Indian ecosystem, with emphasis on the sports industry (both private and government). This will be achieved through classroom seminars, visit to Indian professional Sports Facilities, exposure to intrinsically Indian aspects of physical well-being such as Yoga, interacting through friendly matches and treks with Indian College teams, management games, visiting community development for underprivileged initiatives to learn about sport and community, and cultural activities & heritage visits
The program to India includes four academic sessions by renowned sport industry experts. Professional Sports Facilities visits like Kaka Pawar Academy of Wrestling, PDMBA, Balewadi Stadium where students will learn through seminars. Pune city tour experiencing the culture and heritage and a sumptuous Maharashtrian thali. Trek to Sinhagad Fort. A grand welcome at ISMS with Dhol Tasha and cultural events by the students.
Shalini Banerjee, Director ISMS, Pune informed that while the visiting students will understand the Indian perspective, our students will get to interact with these students, understand sports perspectives from their peers in other countries which will in turn help them enhance their skills and learning. Sports is a language common to the entire world and has the ability to inspire people with common interests and develop leadership, communication skills and competitiveness that can help young people to be successful in their endeavour.
