Report on preparation: After the first video conference with partner school "Hervormd Lyceum Zuid School" we shared our mobile numbers with each other & made a "what's app group" . We had conversation with them in which we interacted about each others festivals .We had a questionnaire which was answered by both the sides. After we had received all the information from them about their festivals , we had a meeting in school for the script discussion & later on we wrote the script. We assigned the roles to each member in the group: Ishaan : Francis(Host.) Malhar : Deman (Sponseree of the Jordaan's show.) Anvaya : Arabella (Sponseree of the Jordaan's show.) Asmi : Adrie(Sponseree of the Fire work show.) Janhavi : Alene(Sponseree of the Flower show.)
We selected this topic cause we felt that it would be interesting. Festivals are larger than life celebrations of various things. They occur at regular intervals and helping in breaking the monotony of life. Furthermore, they give you the chance to celebrate the little and big things in life. Festivals are the carriers of peace and joy in the communities. All nations of the world have certain religious and cultural festivals. However, Netherland is one of the largest countries to celebrate numerous festivals. As Netherland is very cultural & diverse country, so are the festivals. They divide into three general categories of national, religious and seasonal. In short, festivals fill our lives with colors and enthusiasm. They bring us closer every year and eliminate any feelings of communal hatred. Further, they strengthen the bonds of the community and remove the malice from people’s hearts. Therefore, festivals are quite important and must be celebrated with passion & so, we decided to choose this topic. Title of the tv show is "The Late Late Festival's Show".This show is a way to convey the culture and festivals of the Netherlands. While making the T.V. show we shot our videos at our home .
Script:
The T.V. Show:
Report on recording the TV show : First of all the recording was an amazing experience . We enjoyed our selves a lot .The duration of our video was 5-6 minutes .We tried to shoot our video at school but Ishaan was a bit nervous to shoot in front of the teachers . These are his fumbles:
So ma'am suggested us to make our separate video and do it online. Well we didn't had an camera at first but ma'am provided us it later . Still we failed to record our complete video and we did it at our home .

Report on experiences regarding the collaboration:
Report on experiences regarding the collaboration: Well they shot the TV show offline but, we weren't able to shoot our show offline cause few of us friends weren't able to meet .They were good at explaining our culture .We liked the way they choose to represent Indian culture & festivals. We also did perform well and hope that our peers could know what we tried to perform and explain. They played a quiz and in it they had a rapid fire round ,while we did a reality show. We learnt a lot about Netherlands culture and festivals and we also had a nice peer group who answered our questions very quickly and efficiently. They conversed well with us and felt free to communicate with us . We are really happy that Pawar Public School Nanded City gave us this wonderful chance to participate in this project.
Report on Reflection:
Ishaan: Working on this project was a great experience. I felt sad when I heard that I won't be able to visit the Netherland but still even though it was online . I enjoyed it a lot and our partner school peers also did responded well and frequently . They were really free to interact with us . I also interacted well with them . I know I made lots of mistakes during a few times but, I was able to repair them . In the group in which I was leader of was nice . I hope that I leaded the job rather than bossing it . I was bit free to them and gave every one a chance to interact.
Janhavi: I think that taking part in this project was the biggest highlight of my year as there was a widespread of Covid and we weren't able to attend school offline and all that. While making the script was a lot of fun. Communicating with our partner group and recording the TV show was the most amazing part of the project. I think that if we could have recorded our show offline, it would have made a bigger impact. Actually, we did get a chance to do to the same but due to some reasons it didn't work out so we did it online and did the editing. After the publishing of our video we once again had a video conference with our partner group where we saw each others TV shows and afterwards wrote the reports. It was really a pleasurable experience.
Asmi: I really had fun through the time of making this project. I got to learn a lot of new things, I learnt shooting, editing and many more. As a group we all enjoyed shooting the video. We also had video call with our partner group...we all truly enjoyed the video they made...I hope they like ours too! I think if we were able to shoot offline it would have made the video more humorous and joyable....but due to some some circumstances of our group members we weren't able to. I just hope they like our video. We truly enjoyed their TV show. This experience was really great and fun for me.
Malhar: I personally really liked working on this project. Overall it helped me with my social skills even though it was online. As it was a group project I think that everybody has done a nice job and done with great enthusiasm and teamwork. For me this project went really well. I didn't really liked the point that this all was held online. Because of some difficulties our offline recording didn't go well. If this would have been offline the whole video would have been on another level and also the humor would have been more amazing. But apart from that the whole project was a success and really enjoyed working with my teammates. Anavya: Being the part of this project was a whole package of education and entertainment for me. I enjoyed a lot working with my team members for this project and got to learn so many new things! We also had an active interaction with our partner group from Netherlands and our Collaboration went pretty well.. The only thing I personally did not like was that all this interesting procedure was conducted online. Face to face interaction couldn't take place and the video had to be shooted online. Except this the experience was amazing!! I loved the whole process and the idea behind the Eumind Programme. I would surely love to be the part of such project in future!
