Subject: The UnConference | Changemakers | Proposal
To: Chitransh Sahai <sahai.c...@gmail.com>
We organized the first UnConference on the 25th January, Saturday at 91SpringBoard (Delhi) to connect change makers from different fields on one platform. From journalists to entrepreneurs, tech geeks, designers and social activists, we are bringing together people from diverse walks to build a movement.
Our aim is simple:
1) To connect change makers and help them build synergy. This network can be tapped into when building teams to solve problems around us - maybe through a social enterprise or a startup.
The vision is to build a community of around 500 changemakers across India - people with the hunger to form teams of 5 each in the future to solve a problem. The problems could be any social good opportunity like inculcating technology in municipal governance, launching research think-tanks, teacher training in government schools - projects which create long-term impact to change India for the better.
We feel that Change takes more than one person and that the perspective people add to the experiment will go on to make a difference. So, we are hoping to take UnCon February to at least 4 different cities in India (possibilities being Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, Bhubhaneshwar, Cork in Ireland).
I hope that you'd be able to conduct our event in your campus as our venture partner.
Hoping to hear soon from your side.
