Physical Exchange between Pakistani and Indian students

The Citizens Archive of Pakistan (CAP), in collaboration with Routes2Roots (R2R), an Indian non-profit organisation working for peace and dialogue between Pakistan and India, have successfully completed a physical exchange between Pakistani and Indian students as a culmination of the fourteen month project, ‘Exchange for Change’.
To mark the successful completion of the project, a thirty-three member Indian delegation came to Pakistan on the 2nd of September 2013 to visit Lahore, Islamabad and Rawalpindi. While a similar thirty-six member Pakistani delegation travelled to India to visit Delhi and Agra on the 10th of September 2013, crossing over the Wagah - Attari border by foot. CAP and R2R believe that such interactions will further build upon the relationships developed over the life of the project, leading to a positive change in restructuring cultural misconceptions and inter-generational conflict. It is believed that youth interaction and direct communication will in time lead to a more informed and fundamental understanding of each other. During their one-week stay, students and teachers from the participating schools visited partnering schools, engaged with their counterparts and visited historical and cultural sites across the five cities.
