Garba Night at GSFS!



























Report of the Event-  

“Stories that Matter”


Introduction:


The first event organized by Office Bearers of the Rotarct Club 2016-17 was on 6 October, 2016 (Thursday) in the Audio Visual Room of Good Shepherd Finishing School. The event was organized with the idea of breaking walls between the Finishing School girls. Also, to give them a vulnerable platform to share their experiences and stories which they usually refrain talking about. There were 7 groups each headed by an office bearer, who served as a facilitator for their group. This was done to ensure that each person takes part and the same is carried out in a smooth and positive manner. To ensure a more comfortable zone, the room was lit with the fairy lights alone coupled with a light instrumental music playing in the background. This was done so that the girls could be ensured that everything that they talk about or share will be within their personal zone and to ensure that they could freely come out of their shells.
































Proceedings:

The following was the flow of the event:

  •        Chit picking for the group allotment and seating
  •        Introduction of the Office Bearers and the Purpose for Event
  •        Explanation as to how each person would participate
  •        Group Activity: story/experience sharing
  •        Feedback and Experience of the participants
  •       Conclusion Note
  •        Informing about the Suggestion Box for further activities of the Rotaract


Conclusion:

The event went on for 1.5 hour and was successful, serving the purpose with which it was organized and was highly appreciated. The event went on smoothly with the girls willing to participate. They were all glad for having being a part of such a platform where a few thought that they could melt down and be open about their emotions. With a few laughing, few crying, while a few feeling lighter. The program was an overall success with everybody looking forward to more such events.


Serve Society, Serve God!
