City Montessori School to Host Symposium: ‘Awakening Planetary Consciousness’
This week, the City Montessori School (CMS) in Lucknow, India will do one of the things it does remarkably well: host a global gathering of grand and hardly fathomable proportions, given it is a primary educational institution. Dec. 12-15, CMS is simultaneously holding its 9th International Conference of Chief Justices of the World, and its 5th Global Symposium: “Awakening Planetary Consciousness.”
For a bit of context, CMS is the largest city school in the world, with approximately 33,000 students (up through high school) attending day classes at 20 branches across the city of Lucknow. (That number, among others, have been recognized in the Guinness Book of World Records.)
The school received the UNESCO Prize for Peace Education in 2002, and has been honored with numerous other awards and designations, such as the Nuclear-Free Future Award, for its focus on peace in an international society.
