International Day
International Day is being held on Friday 17 September. It is a day for our community to come together to celebrate our diversity, cultural backgrounds, and unique traditions. The PCA has reached out to Country Coordinators and families to ask them to represent their country via a video. The theme of the video this year is “the food of my country”. Please remember that videos should be no longer than 2.5 minutes and should be submitted to pca@aischennai.org . The deadline to submit your video is Friday 3 September at 16.00 IST. For any questions or technical support please contact your PCA Exec Team (scroll down for contact details).

Through the lens of Adult SEL, participants will explore some of the most important Adult SEL competencies and create a plan for deeper reflective practice as parents.
