Well we have made it through a whole month! Navigating through an online only internship has been interesting and a little challenging. I don’t think we realized the time difference between here and India, until we had our first 6:30am zoom call. We have been working hard on gathering information about child friendly cities and have attended a few webinars that have given us greater insight and ideas. I think the part we are all most excited about is creating curriculum that schools in Chandigarh and Abbotsford can use to explore and learn about their cities.
We have had our first meeting with the researcher in India and are excited to get things going. We are all a little sad that we don’t get to be on the ground in India immersed in the culture and experiences BUT maybe one day we can all take a trip there. We have decided that every week we are going to document what we are doing, everything from the fun to the boring, and the struggles and our wins. This blog is a place where you can find the real and raw account of how interns in Canada are working online during the pandemic to help further research in India.
