“SAMVAAD ” – Talk to Talk, webinar series
In the changed situation, ParyavaranMitra’s Green Catalyst members initiated online awareness programs through different online platforms. They are organizing informative and interactive sessions on relevant environmental issues with environmental experts under the webinar series Samvaad (Talk to Talk). The Raah Foundation and Lifelong Education Department, Gujarat Vidyapith are collaborators in this initiative. This initiative started in the month of May, on every Sunday evening. We also organized interaction under this series on the special occasions such as on Environment day and other days of importance.
Samvaad completed the 25 webinars in the year 2020.
