Travel quiz for school students

Mumbai: Thomas Cook (India) Ltd., announced the launch of the Thomas Cook Travel Quest - India’s first national travel quiz for school students.

Thomas Cook India has partnered with Greycaps India Private Limited - Asia's largest on stage quizzing and knowledge services company and curated by noted quizmaster Giri Pickbrain with the focus being history and geography.

With over 50 per cent of India under the age of 25 years and the country set to become the world’s youngest nation by 2020 (with an average age of 29 years), this changing young demographic with growing aspirations seeks exposure to a global curriculum and opportunities that are increasingly being built into the curriculum of progressive schools. Thomas Cook India’s Travel Quest sets out to serve these schools and enthuse their students with a fresh, vibrant approach to learning and to help create a globally aware and confident young Indian.

Madhavan Menon, managing director, Thomas Cook (India) Ltd. said, “Experiential learning is the need for today’s young minds and travel is indeed the best teacher. Our quiz platform - Travel Quest, is our contribution to encouraging schools and young Indians to look beyond the classroom and conventional methods of learning.”

Giri Pickbrain, quizmaster, Greycaps India Private Limited said, "In an era when the need of the hour is to equip our children to be globally savvy and prepared, Travel Quest provides a wonderful opportunity and platform for schools to widen the knowledge horizons of young Indians."
