16th Ryan International Children's Festival 2019
NEW DELHI, Dec. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- 16th Ryan International Children's Festival that had kicked off on 13th December with a grand curtain raiser ceremony at Talkatora Stadium, Delhi has been a celebration of cultures and togetherness with over 15,000 students from over 20 countries participating in it.
The theme of the festival this year is 'Generation Equal'. The spotlight is on gender equality and stereotypes that exist in societies around the world. Predefined roles for boys and girls, are limiting children to develop their full potential. The festival aims to break such stereotypes and empower students to follow their passion. The festival gives Indian students a change to host, perform and interact with children from all around the world.
The festival was graced by the presence of Hon'ble Lok Sabha Speaker, Shri. Om Birla on the 14th of December, who was the Chief Guest for the event. His esteemed presence added to the grandeur of the ongoing extravaganza.
Congratulating the Ryan Group on this event, Shri Om Birla, said, "I get energized looking at the generation of today and I am confident that they will be effective leaders of tomorrow. I congratulate Dr. Grace Pinto for organizing such a grand event which gives opportunities for understanding cultures across the world.
