You identify a venue, arrange for the promotions and create a volunteer staff to work the event.
We pay for all expenses, and send a Tripura Foundation trained facilitator and possibly musicians/performers to direct the event. The event can be based on lecture presentation with audio-video materials, or performing artists. We welcome your ideas and creativity!
