15th Sep 2012 - “Annual Day Event EDU / SOC :{ Education By Society}"


What it is

                Colorss Foundation celebrates its Annual Day on 15th September.  This year, in line with its vision and mission, a large-scale event is planned to create awareness and attract membership for the foundation’s cause.  

This event is conducted mainly aimed to create awareness amongst the following groups:

o    Students in Schools and Colleges
o    Corporate Sponsors
o    Social Media Users

Theme

Education is the underlying theme of this event. Education is considered in its basic form i.e. “Imparting knowledge of the world to society”. Hence, the subject matters are not restricted to one specific topic or social cause.

The event will be conducted with a “Green” color theme. The color green is a natural tone and it indicates peace, prosperity and enthusiasm. It is hoped that the color theme will compliment the same qualities in the planned event.

Planned Activities


“One-Page-One-Day”

Event format

The participants are given one page in a classic literature book and they have to translate it in a corresponding language. The languages are English to Hindi/Marathi and vice versa as well. Interested participants will be required to register and a page will be allocated to them.
