What is CAP?

Oorva's Cultural Ambassador Programme is a 4-6 week journey where students explore, experience and celebrate the living culture of their own district.

At the heart of CAP is one full experience day where students meet a practitioner, try the tradition, document the story and create memories that last a lifetime.

Planning CAP with your school

Who it is for. The activities shown here are designed for Grades 3–9. Tell us the grades and expected student count so we can discuss a suitable format.

Typical sequence. Classroom preparation, one hosted experience day, then student documentation and a presentation. The final schedule and location are agreed with the school.

Logistics and supervision. We will confirm the meeting point, transport arrangements, accessibility needs, host activity and adult supervision responsibilities with your team before the visit.

Pricing and next steps. Send an enquiry for a programme quote and proposed plan. The cost, group size and response timing are confirmed directly with your school before you commit.

Bring CAP to
your school.

Let your students explore, experience, express and become the next generation of Cultural Ambassadors.
