Open Space Ahmedabad's launch at CDC: January 22-23, 2009

Open Space Ahmedabad found its launchpad in the Centre for Development Communication on the Gujarat University campus. Noted journalist Pradeep Mallik conducted a two-day series on 'Stereotypes and the Media' for the 25-30 students of CDC. There was a clear focus behind launching OS-A with this topic - to get bright, intelligent, young volunteers who understood the key idea of Open Space i.e. to appreciate differences in opinion, culture, gender, religion etc. etc. and refuse to be cowed down by populist stereotypes.
