About Samvada : Samvada has been working with youth in and around Bangalore Urban and Rural Districts for the last 17 years, helping young people reflect on themselves and society and mobilizing them for social change. Our vision is to build a equitable, gender just, secular and sustainable society where notions of caste, class, gender, religion, culture, sexuality , science and development are critically examined in terms of our values and aspirations, as well as our paradigms of progress.

Through intense workshops, outreach camps, exposures, film festivals, cultural interventions as well as classroom debates, sports, theatre and music we have introduced college students and youth to NGOs and social movements, creating spaces to re- examine beliefs, redefine development and creatively engage with issues of social justice and sustainable livelihoods.

Baduku will organize courses on Sustainable Water Management, Eco Tourism, Child Care and Child Rights, Journalism for Peace and Development, Leadership for Crafts Communities, Gender-just Counseling, Sustainable Building Technologies etc. We hope to equip young people with livelihood options that inherently contain and nurture the seeds of social change

MOUNI
The Silent One
Kannada/127 minutes/35 mm/Colour
SYNOPSIS
There is no form of protest stronger than silence. That is what this novel, authored by the Jnanpith Award winning writer U.R. Ananthamurthy conveys.
The protagonist, Kuppanna Bhatta, faces indignities heaped on him by fellow Brahmin and tormentor Appanna Bhatta, through the power of tolerance and silence. Appanna and Kuppanna are neighbours but bitter enemies. Kuppanna maintains complete silence even as the clash between the two men turns increasingly vitriolic. Appanna is unable to fathom Kuppanna?s silence and, in the end, he too rendered silent. But before this happens the story winds its way through various developments ? struggles, aspirations, anxieties, and agitation appear and disappear.
Amidst it all, two younger characters ? a boy and a girl ? try to bridge the gap between the two central characters. They represent a pleasant world, a hope of a better future, and end to the rancour.

About Rueda de Casino
Rueda de Casino started in Cuba in the mid 20th century and it is the roots of what you can see danced in Miami, and around the world today. In Cuba, the people used to get together in large halls, called “Casinos”, hence the name. Rueda (as it is commonly called in Cuba) is a form of Casino danced in a round with 2 or more couples exchanging partners when one person calls
out the turn names (“Rueda” is Spanish for “Wheel”, and “Casino” is known outside of Cuba as “Salsa”).
