The Department of International Studies and History, CHRIST (Deemed to be University), organized a Skype conference with students from KU Leuven, Belgium, on 7th November, 2019. Along with students, were professors from the two institutions. The theme of discussion was post-colonialism. While, the purpose of such a confabulation was to facilitate a continuous and consistent dialogue between students who study the concept of post-colonialism from very different lenses, the session was merely an introductory one, wherein the faculty in-charge from both institutions introduced their respective class and set down basic parameters that were to be followed during the course of the interaction, which was as discussed, to extend to nearly a month. 

This introductory session, set out various pre-requisites as well as requirements for the successful fruition of this interaction. The students are essentially, over multiple sessions, expected to discuss multiculturalism, migration and postcolonialism, from the knowledge that they have acquired over the course of their reading and through their own personal life experiences. The students would have to ultimately, submit a report of their interaction and learnings to their respective institutions.  

The Skype conference ended with an enquiry session, with the aim to address any doubts and discrepancies regarding the arrangement of the sessions that will follow. It was concluded on a note to anticipate an insightful and an active interaction between the two institutions.
