Media Training, 2014, at Saputara
An intensive package of “Media
Training, 2014” was gracefully unfolded by the Gurjarvani Team in the midst of
nature where hills and mountains surround Our Giri Mata Mandir at Saputara. It was
indeed under the overarching protection of “Our Lady of Mountains” [ Giri Mata ] that
everything began, ran and went off well. Under the ever youthful, enthusiastic and
collaborative leadership of Fr. Ashok Vaghela, the Gurjarvani team consisting
of Frs. Devasia and Raymund, along with highly dedicated 7 collaborators and
volunteers, worked round the clock from 14th of May to 31st
of May, 2014. This was the 7th
Media Training in succession over the past 6 years. The presence of some eminent
personalities like Mr. Yosef Macwan - a well known Gujarati Poet - and Sr.
Regina of St. Anne, Nadiad – a regular contributor to the trainings given in
media over the past two decades - greatly
encouraged the participants and the trainers alike.
All that preceded the Media Training
made it a success. The Pre Media Training multi-faceted preparations were done
meticulously much ahead of time. A committed, enthusiastic and media-qualified
lay collaborator Miss Grena Christian personally interviewed 38 applicants from
all over Gujarat and spotted 30 participants - 23 boys and 7 girls - to take part in this training. Moreover, she also
took the full responsibility of important departments such as kitchen,
stationary, media-lab and equipments etc and carried out to its finest detail
with great dedication and utmost care.
The Media Training was punctuated
with several media experts coming in from different media fields at the
appointed hour and delivering their goods effectively. There were inputs on
chalk-talk, poster-making, photography, script-writing, production of film and
documentary, editing, recording sound and music. All these aspects were dealt
with great depth in a very creative
manner with theories and practicals to be done by the participants. As the
Media Training advanced the participants realized that it was necessary to work
as a team. Day after day the enthusiasm of the students and the trainers rose higher
and higher and reached its culmination when the four groups of the participants
prepared short documentary each pulling all their talents and the skills
learned during the Media Training. At the end of the training they were all
awarded with a precious certificate of the Media Training, 2014.
As all of us know that “Media
Training” is an associate-venture of GJYM-WAVES-JESCOM. Hence all the involved ones
in “The Media Training, 2014,” gratefully acknowledge the hospitality of the
Shamgahan Fathers and Sr. Rahel of Saputara.
