RCISME Works Through Lockdown
RCISME ROUNDS UP THE PROJECTS IT HAS DONE IN THE LOCKDOWN
Raise for Reasons
RCISME hosted a movie night for club members and asked them to pay Rs 50 or more. RCISME collected Rs 2300 which went to an NGO that feeds needy animals and people on the streets. RCISME joined hands with an NGO to implement the project. Around 400 people and animals benefitted from it.
Speaktravaganza
‘Speaktravaganza’ was a two-day online communication festival organised by RCISME with nine events in total: Arts, Singing, Comedy, Memes Battle, Bollywood and the Harry Potter quiz, Online scavenger hunt, Pitch up, and Influencer of the day.
On August 8, DRR Rtr. Ojas Joshi and Rtn. Dr. Indu Shahani were invited as chief guests for the opening ceremony. Speaktravaganza was a great learning experience which enabled RCISME to gain new insight into different areas. There were more than 200 participants and contingents from other Rotaract clubs.
Project Sanskriti
‘Sanskriti, a joint project with RCMMS (Rotaractors of Mumbai Mulund South), had members divided into various teams with a state of India given to each team to express the culture of that state in an innovative way and in the form of a video. They were also required to make a staple dish of that state. Judges declared winners of the best team, best MasterChef, best performance male and female awards. We created an impact on around 55+ attendees with this project. The format of generating ideas to display different cultures and execute them in a video during the lockdown was a challenging and satisfying endeavour.
Whimsical Night
RCISME officially commenced its fourth year in Rotaract, creating an atmosphere of positivity with lots of energy. Hence, it organised a lively event called ‘Whimsical Night’.
Members performed a five to 10 min skit posing as their favorite characters from a movie or series around an iconic scene or dialogue. Members were split into teams accompanied by their core and board of directors.
The event ended with the launch of our magazine ‘RCISME Times’ which included the announcement of the newly elected coordinators.
Enthusiastic members dressed as their favorite characters with some common themes emerging amongst the performances. The most common ones were the characters from the series F.R.I.E.N.D.S followed by iconic Bollywood movies like Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Chennai Express. Some members also dressed as characters of the Hollywood movie The Fault In Our Stars.
Workshop by Ishan and Shalmoli
RCISME invited Shalmoli and Ishan Rajput, social media influencers, with varied area of focus. Shalmoli is experienced in the fields of skincare, beauty care, and fashion and Ishan Rajput is well-versed in networking and food blogging.
Shalmoli shared her journey, followed by the Dos and Don’ts of skincare and how people ruin their skin by not caring for it. She also conducted a 30-minute workout challenge for all attendees which they enjoyed as they were doing it along with Shalmoli.
Ishan, on the other hand, started off with journey as a content creator to a networker and then shared insights on the importance of networking and how one could make the most out of it. He also answered questions from attendees.
Both the sessions got a great response.
