Film workshop in IFMR, Chennai

05 Jun

On June 2nd We were invited to conduct a one day film workshop in IFMR Chennai (Institute for financial Management and Research). It was a first time when we were doing such a crash course and the task was to compile everything in just 4 Hours. We were pleasantly surprised to see the participants of the workshop were Students from some of the top most business schools in the world (Harvard, Cambridge, SRCC etc) who had come for an internship in IFMR.

Conducting workshop in Dharavi slums (She creates project) to prestigious Business schools, the experience was truly enriching.

Another effort to share stories for change.
