Students from a leading school of India located in Delhi NCR visited the Nilgiris on a quest to explore the Blue Mountains.  Enthusiastic students accompanied by very dedicated teachers explored many ecological sites and studied the tribal heritage of these magnificent hills.

A day was spent visiting a Kurumbas village and interacting with the inhabitants of this small hamlet.  The students then participated in an art workshop organized by One Earth Foundation where they were exposed to the traditional colour making techniques still used by this tribe.  All participated in a workshop held by the tribal artist and learnt the key motifs of this style of painting.  The outcome was brilliant and we certainly had some future Picassos in the group. Keep it up!
