Baithak :Conversations in Policy
Baithak: Conversations in Policy is CCS Academy’s new initiative for fostering continued learning and development of CCS graduates through open group discussions in an informal group setting and in the presence of a trained CCS facilitator/faculty.
The idea is to give a platform to all the CCS graduates (from ipolicy, credit courses, RR internship and so on) to come together for a discussion on contemporary socio-cultural and economic issues in the presence and guidance of a CCS faculty/facilitator.
Program objective: Alumni engage with each other by creating a knowledge ecosystem, impacting the policy space in India at large.
About: Centre for Civil Society is organizing the first ever ‘Baithak: Conversations in Policy’ on the 25th of August at A-69, Haus Khas, New Delhi. If you have been associated with CCS in the past and have attended any of its programs – LSS, ISPP, ipolicy, Freedom Caravan, Colloquium, Researching Reality Internship, etc., this is the platform for you to come together in a more informal setting for a discussion on contemporary socio-cultural and economic issues in the presence and guidance of a CCS facilitator.
