Sano Katha
are informal and fun evenings for
people who have a connection with Nepal and enjoy talking about their
experiences. This informal gathering
gives the audience an opportunity to listen and see slides on a variety of
subjects and experiences in Nepal. It brings like-minded people together and
gives them an opportunity to meet and mingle.
It is also a novel way of introducing our friends to the interesting and
fascinating side of Nepal which we enjoy.
The theme is
broad – ‘Nepal’, so the talks could be my favourite trek, best photographic
slides, any volunteer work, social issues etc.
These talks are aimed at inexperienced speakers who may or may not use
notes when speaking. We encourage
potential speakers to come and see the format to be reassured they will get
support and encouragement from the audience.
Speakers either nominate or are invited to speak and the talks will be
selected on the diversity of the subjects for that meeting.
Sano Katha format is based on the PechaKucha 20x20 concept, http://www.pechakucha.org/faq . Our format will be a presentation of either 20 slides by 20 seconds each or 25 slides, each for 15 seconds. The Powerpoint slides advance automatically and you talk along with the images, the total time is about 6½ minutes. Presenters will need to plan their speech to ensure it does not go over the 6½ minutes available.
The
meetings commence with 5 speakers, with a 5 minute gap between each speaker
where one or two questions can be answered and then the next speaker
commences. The rest of the questions can
be directed to the speakers at the end of the presentations.
A
PowerPoint template will be provided for the presenters so that all presentations are uniform. The
presenters forward their PowerPoint presentation to Brenda or Kylie who will
format them on to one PowerPoint file and insert the automatic timings. The speeches will be arranged in order
depending on the subjects. It is preferable
that there is a variety of subjects on the evening.
