The district organised a training assembly called Lumos for 140 aspiring Rotaract leaders. More than just imparting crucial knowledge on Board roles and responsibilities, Lumos offered a unique Hogwarts-themed experience, fostering camaraderie and enriching the learning journey, smiles Kriti.

Seasoned trainers expertly guided participants through sessions on leadership skills, operational management, member engagement and communication strategies. Interactive workshops provided practical tools, while a dynamic team-building activity further solidified bonds and encouraged teamwork. “Lumos wasn’t just about acquiring knowledge; it was about creating a vibrant community. The Hogwarts theme, complete with house sorting and immersive activities, added a touch of magic, making the experience both memorable and enjoyable,” she adds. Participants left equipped with newfound skills, strengthened connections and a passion to contribute positively to their clubs and the district.
