Anyone who is excited by freethought and humanism, and is interested in the challenges facing the nation on this front. Q. Can I bring friends along? Please do! The event is more fun when you're with like-minded friends, and you'll leave with enough fodder for long discussions in the months to come. Q. What do I have to bring along? Nothing! The workshop is aimed at working professionals, and does not require anything beyond a critical, fun-loving mind. You'll have plenty of opportunities to interact and participate. Just make it to the venue on time. Q. Can I be an unruly, loud brat? No. Tempers can get high when discussing and questioning core beliefs held by a majority of the population. Free and open discussions are welcome (and encouraged). Raised voices are not. We will evict you at the remotest hint of belligerence. Q. Ok, I'm sold! How do I register? This bears repeating: before you head over to register, ensure you can make it to the event. We have limited seats, so when we reserve one for you, we expect you to attend. The fee is just a token fee - with the intention of covering the workshop costs. So it wont cost you a bomb (not this time, anyway). When you're ready, head over to the registration page, and enter your details. Q. What does the registration price cover? Your registration fee covers your attendance to the workshop, and lunch, tea and snacks. If you're travelling or flying into the city, you'll need to arrange your accommodation. |
