GD Goenka School to host WEH workshop

LUCKNOW: GD Goenka Public School is hosting the Women Empower Humanities 2018, an initiative by Panthalassa and Denison University, USA . Women Empower Humanities (WEH) hopes to provide a forum for encouraging young women currently attending high school to develop an interdisciplinary outlook grounded in the humanities on issues concerning women.

Each year the programme invites scholars who educate the participants on how gender and sex play out in history, classical studies, art, philosophy, music, language, and literature, as well as politics and ethics of gender identity and equality in humanities. WEH will offer scholarships for taking the SAT, ACT, IELTS, and TOEFL to select participants of the programme.

Panthalassa (www.reachpanthalassa.com) partners with small non-profit initiatives in communities all over the world, to help them acquire the resources they need to be successful. The founder and CEO of Panthalassa, Mrinalini Mitra, is an alumnus of G.D Goenka-Lucknow. She is currently a sophomore at Denison University in the USA.

The two visiting professors for WEH 18' are Mariana SaavedraEspinosa and Hosna Sheikholeslami. The programme would offer students the opportunity to interact with them and learn more about studying abroad, said principal Raveen Pande. She said students interested in participating in the programme may learn more about WEH on https:// www.reachpanthalassa.com/ women em power humanities.
