You can share your thoughts, You can be a Guest Speaker and offcource please join the meet-ups as participants. Please have a look into the details about this initiative.
Ghumakkad Gossip (GG)
Ghumakkad Gossip is a series of meet-up launched as my personal initiative to spread an experiential discussion on the relevant topic amongst Local Guides on Connect. Guest Speaker(s) championing the respective topic will be invited to share their experiences and knowledge on a pre-defined pattern.
Mode, Frequency and Duration
This is going to be in online (virtual) mode only. The initial aim is to do it once a month for a duration of one hour. Depending on the Responses and Reactions, the frequency and duration may get revised.
Topics and Guest Speaker
A list of topics is taken through some of our senior Local Guides and slated for the coming months. I am in touch with the Guest Speakers to get their availability for their chosen topic.
Having said that, you all are hereby invited to share a topic to get included in the GG Meet-up series. Not only that, if you also want to be one of the Guest Speakers, please message me personally on Connect with your interest and topic details. I will Collaborate & Corroborate further with you.
