In a small community it is important that the members engage in quality discussions and dialogues on various issues. But often, discussions can be boring or just meaningless. With our fun and small group conversations at our open mic nights, we bring in a diverse group of people from all walks of life to engage in discussions or sometimes just sharing things that we are passionate about.
In September’s open mic night we screened one of the acclaimed Bhutanese short films “the Red Door.” The film by Tashi Gyeltshen makes its viewers feel the presence of time. The screening was followed by a lively discussion with the film maker and sharing of views of the audience on their own comprehension of the film and also discussing about the the commercialisation of films and Bhutanese films.
During our October open mic night we invited three core speakers to talk about mental health, dealing with Stress and youth leadership. Ms. Prativa Pradhan, Martin Tan and Dr. Damber Kr. Nirola talked on the issues.
We saw a wider diversity in the participants that attended ranging from high school students to fresh graduates to civil servants.
