Jijnasa -an initiative under CESS - presents "Sangama - a Conference of Online Nationalists".
At Jijnasa, we have always endeavored and experimented with new ways of bringing the huge online intelligentsia into mainstream discourse. We also realize that there need to be opportunities for online activists to engage in the real world. Sangama is a result of such a thinking.
At Sangama, online nationalists will not only present their views on important issues but also network with others to act on common ideas.
Jijnasa's first Sangama will take place on 1st June 2013, Saturday at CESS building in Nagarabhavi (full address and map enclosed below). This conference will deal with 5 topics:
We invite your interest to speak/present on the topics listed above.
It would help the discourse and audience if the topic is something that you are passionate about.
If we have more than two people keen on presenting on a particular topic then the organizing committee will take the final call on the panel although in most cases we would like to restrict it to one speaker.
That in no way means you will not get an opportunity to articulate your views because after each presentation a vibrant Q&A will follow.
Interested participants are requested to choose one of the five topics and prepare a presentation.
Please send us a short abstract on the topic you wish to speak in word format (Times New Roman Font, 22 pts size) on jijnasaCESS@gmail.com NO later than 24May2013.
We will close the speakers for the topic on an ongoing basis.
