Journalist Conversations

We also had very long conversations with Bilal who has always lived in Delhi (so did his lungs) and is heartfuly attached to his town.
Bilal came to codecamp to work on his amazing project Crowdnewsing a platform for journalists to publish promote and crowdfund their work.
We learned a lot from Bilal all that is to know about activists in India. Discussed many ideas on how to engage people in mobilization. The special moment Indian civil society is going through, following the closure of Avaaz by the government, that also has the effect of opening new spaces for other sorts of activist group.
Together we tried to think what would be a model that could engage people in environmental concerns.
Bilal is writing an article about Ghoomakad new life proposition published on Crowdnewsing you can support it http://www.crowdnewsing.com/project/dharamshala/
