KMAG Online Writing Workshop: All you Need to know.
This informative article is created for the applicants showing interest to participate in the Online Writing Workshop that we plan to start from Sept 1st.
KMAG is conducting an online writing workshop for individuals looking to build their writing skill. This workshop will be of 100 days long where the participants will be trained on different types of writing through tasks and activities in a real-world fashion.
Why are we doing it?
- To empower individuals by teaching them how to express their thoughts and ideas through content writing.
- To establish a culture of sharing knowledge and information through blogs and other channels.
- To train individuals in professional writing that would help them to communicate effectively in their professional world.
- To help students get better with their academic activities that require better writing.
- To guide writing enthusiasts in developing the writing skill to pursue their passion towards writing.
- To help writing enthusiasts to explore writing as a career.
- Build a community of intellects and writers and work closely with in spreading knowledge and ideas, thoughts and views, in the form of contents.
In short, we are doing it because we strongly believe that our youth force are in desperate need of writing skills without which it will be very tough for them to function in this modern world where everything begins from writing.
How will the workshop be conducted and how it is different from other writing workshops?
As we believe that writing cannot be learned through theory alone nor a week of practice will provide practical benefits, this workshop is designed more in an Internship Model, where participants are to be involved with us in writing activities and with the mix of theory and activities, we will be training and mentoring the participants on writing.
Since we believe, building a writing skills is same as building muscles, that can be accomplished only through vigorous exercises and right guidance, we have designed the writing workshop in a day-wise plan for next 100 days that on each day participants are to get involved in certain tasks and activities under the direct supervision of available trainers and mentors.

Nothing as such to worry. You will start from where you had left. For example, you took the class for next 10 days and then needed a week break. Once you are back, you will be starting from where you had left. Please note that, it’s not 3 month course, but rather 100-day workshop and you pay the amount for 100 days you have attended. Whether it takes 3 months for you to complete or 6 months, you will be paying the same amount.
What if I want to quit in middle of the workshop? Will I get my money back?
If you have paid the whole amount, that is Rs. 6000, your money will be refunded deducting the days/months spent. If you were paying on a monthly basis, then depending on the circumstances and days spent, you will be getting the refund.
Will I get the certificate?

How much do I need to pay now for the admission?
The total fee for the workshop is Rs. 6000, that you can pay on a monthly basis or can pay the full amount right away.

Father: “Bachnu matra thulo kura ho? Bachna ta kukur pani bachirako chha” Is life all about living? What about achievement in life?
Son: Tell that to a wife whose husband is suffering from cancer and going to die soon. Ask her if she wants her husband lying and breathing and nothing much or she wishes him dead. Tell that to a mother who lost her son over a suicide that if doing-nothing-but-only-alive son would be enough for her or not. Tell that to a child who lost one of the parents who anyway wasn’t doing anything in life.
Dad, you haven’t lost anyone in life, so you can tell staying alive is nothing. When you lose someone then you will know staying alive itself is an achievement when millions die everyday prematurely.
I am alive, and that’s an achievement itself. Greater achievement is to be successful, rich, popular, etc, I understand, but you know what is the greatest achievement? It is to stay alive happily and independently. All the success, money, popularity, this and that only falls in between the achievement and the greatest achievement.
Dad, I am alive, I am happy, and I am independent. Maybe, per your definition and perception, I am not achieving anything. But to me, this version of me is the highest form of achievement. Don’t worry.
Hey KMAG Readers,
Glad to see you here. Since you are here, don’t forget to drop your email address. We want to surprise you.
Much love and regards,
KMAG
