Advocacy Seminar Series
Sangam has a series of Seminars to be held at our World Centre during 2007& 2008. Each Seminar will develop skills in Advocacy and will be linked with a particular theme area. The Seminars will run over seven days and although intensive training is planned, time will be allowed to enjoy, learn and share international Guiding/ Scouting and the Indian culture.
