Selected De La Salle Santiago Zobel (DLSZ) High School students participated in a discussion on global issues, diversity of faith and belief perspectives with the students from Laxman School in New Delhi, India through a live video conference held at the Audiovisual Room, St. Mutien Marie Building last October 20, 2011.
With the help of the Learning Resource Center (LRC) and the Information Systems and Technology Services (ISTS) Office, Ms. Lynette Feliciano, HS Social Studies teacher, facilitated the discussion from our end.
Students acquaint each other with their culture, faith and belief, and other festivities inside and outside of their school. They also hashed out unique features of their school. At the end of the discussion, Laxman School and DLSZ shared what they learned from each other. Both schools have found similarities despite their diversity in faith and culture.

Face to Faith is a program under the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, a registered charity in the UK, which aims to promote respect and understanding about the world’s major religions and issues. Through this meaningful dialogue, students will be able to gain abilities required in breaking down religious and cultural stereotypes.
DLSZ’s first Face to Faith video conference was conducted last August 31, 2011 with students from Australia.
