Indira School of Communication

Guest Sessions:

ISC believes that ad hoc guest sessions should be advanced value-additions to the curricular input. That is why carefully selected guests are invited with specific topics in mind. Usually, guests include filmmakers, specialist journalists, professionals in charge of specialized skills, and highly placed industry professionals who can provide a bird’s-eye view of various communication professions. The structure of such sessions varies from classroom to seminar, coffee-table to workshop formats.
