Nagpur – The Global Schools Group (GSG) is proud to announce the launch of Global Schools Nikon School of Creativity at GIIS Nagpur, marking a significant milestone in fostering creativity and innovation among students. This state-of-the-art photography club, the first of its kind among GSG’s 26 campuses in India, is a result of a unique collaboration with Nikon, a global leader in imaging and optics.
The partnership between Nikon and GIIS first began in 2018 with the launch of the photography programme at GIIS Abu Dhabi. Building on its success, GIIS Nagpur now joins the league of campuses equipped with advanced photography training, empowering students with essential skills in visual creativity and storytelling.
The Global Schools Nikon School of Creativity is designed to help budding photographers develop their artistic vision through the techniques of photography. The training will be customized based on age groups, skill levels, and learning styles, ensuring that students receive tailored guidance from professionally trained mentors. From learning the fundamentals of camera handling to mastering the art of visual storytelling, students will gain hands-on experience in a dynamic and interactive environment.
This inclusive programme is crafted to offer students much more than technical skills – It aims to Inspire creativity and self-expression, help students discover their unique style, provide an outlet for thoughts, emotions and ideas through visual storytelling while boosting their confidence and self-esteem.
The newly inaugurated club at GIIS Nagpur was honored by the presence of distinguished chief guest, Mr. Lalit Vikamshi —an accomplished artist, sculptor, and designer. His work seamlessly bridges fine arts, public installations, and innovative maker spaces, with notable large-scale projects such as sculptures for IIM Nagpur and initiatives for Indian Railways. His insightful address reflected his deep passion for blending art, engineering, and community-driven creativity.
