The Inter-School Festival

MINDSPARK

Mind-Spark is the annual inter-school event hosted by Brighton International School, Raipur.

Brighton International School, Raipur has been hosting MINDSPARK, the annual inter-school event, for the several years. The first edition of Mindspark, happened in the year 2014-15, since then it has been a shining jewel in Brighton’s annual calendar.
 
The event features a gamut of literary, cultural, craft, fine arts and sports competitions. The entire idea behind Mind-Spark is to provide a platform for all the schools to come together and celebrate the potential possessed by the students, our leaders of tomorrow. 

To stand with the students and to nurture their talents is the essence of Mind Spark. In this era of globalization it is our duty to tap the hidden talents of our students amidst their curriculum. Mind spark is the platform where the talents can be expressed and mettled. Activities on this stature can encourage the students to engage with the specifics and complexities of issues as they arise today.
