Concord 2019 raised awareness on drug abuse and Illicit trafficking
School time is a transformative experience for all students. The transformation is more evident in students who regularly involve themselves in activities beyond the classroom, such as organising cultural or technical festivals that demand much from them and also reward them with skill development in return. School Fests offer a platform for such an involvement, the outcome of which are learning skills that are beyond the realms of the textbook — leadership, crisis management, time management, persistence, multitasking, and public speaking, to name a few.
Concord 2019 is the annual inter school cultural festival of the Calcutta Boys School, comprising a plethora of events where participants of renowned schools from the city of Kolkata take part and compete for the coveted position of being declared the champions of this milestone event in the Kolkata schools circuit. This year the programme,CONCORD 2019, has been designed with the theme of raising awareness against drug abuse and Illicit trafficking.Raja McGee,Principal & Secretary, said ” Supported each year by individuals, communities and various organizations all over the world, this global observance aims to raise awareness of the major problem that illicit drugs represent to society. The variety of events scheduled for the three days are centered around the theme of CBS’s support for the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking and is sure to raise awareness regarding the same.”
