Here at Meta-Culture things have been pretty crazy! Another 2 interns- a British guy and a local lawyer, have recently joined the team. I feel like I have been here forever and its strange to see them floundering and finding their way around. Its great, though, to have so many interesting people around. I think the Meta Culture staff span almost all continents at the moment.
Along with Open Enrollment, my project for Meta-Culture Consulting, I am currently also part of the team that is setting up Meta-Culture's Community Mediation Centre. I had no idea how much work and planning goes into setting something up! I am in charge of the Administration and am project managing the planning of the Basic Mediation Course which will be conducted mid November. The Basic Mediation Course is the foundation course for anyone who wants to become a mediator. We are hoping to be able get a few people from this course to continue on as apprentices and finally train them as mediators for the Mediation Centre. Having had no experience with administration i am having to read MANY MANY manuals regarding the set up of mediation centres in the US primarily, which we are modeling this mediation centre on.
Other than that, Bengaluru Speaks was held again on Friday. This time the theme was Violence in Urban India because of the current events that have been cropping up all over the country. The dialogue was intense and even volatile towards the end and on the whole a success because we got people talking about their opinions on a very real and honest level. NDTV was actually present at the event and they are doing a piece on Meta-Culture which will be screened at 9.30 on 2nd October.
Im entering the last month of my internship here and I am seriously considering extending it for a little while so that i can finish my projects and tie up loose ends. Hope all you other interns are learning and having as much fun as I am.

great to hear from you again. and congrats on the success of the Bengaluru Speaks event. i am looking forward to watching it on NDTV on october 2nd.
i am greatly interested in the Basic Mediation Course. it sounds like something i would quite like to do, although it will probably not be possible to do it this time.
as for your internship, i think it will be great if you can continue working for a few more months so that you can finish your projects. Choice would be more than happy to support you. let me know what your plans are: long-term and short-term.
