As the country’s very first lifestyle destination CROSSROADS Maldives has been working with the local community to bridge the gap and disconnection between tourism and culture with monthly educational visits for local school students as part of its corporate social responsibility efforts. The visit aimed to expose students to tourist facility operations, Maldives’ rich cultural heritage, and history through experiential learning exercises at Maldives Discovery Centre.
The educational visit aimed to instill in students an appreciation for Maldives’ unique culture and history that has been shaped by its island geography and close ties with the Indian subcontinent. By experiencing Maldivian culture firsthand through interactive activities, the visit brought history to life for the students and helped nurture cultural awareness and pride from a young age.
