VOL 13

@ Club25 Hours

In the wake of the terrible devastation from the earthquake in Nepal, PechaKucha Head Quarter at Tokyo Japan has decided to set up a new initiative called PechaKucha Inspire NEPAL. No matter where we are in the world, people can share their stories and experiences of Nepal in the PechaKucha 20x20 format to help inspire this country back to its vibrant and colourful self. PechaKucha Inspire Nepal will also act as a platform to share the good news about reconstruction in the country.

Chiming to the global call for PechaKucha Inspire Nepal, PKN Kathmandu Night Volume 13 is a very special event inviting self-motivated professionals to share and inspire us with their stories, visions and experiences.

This event is scheduled for 3rd July 2015 FRIDAY at 6PM at Club25 Hours at Tangalwood, Naxal, Kathmandu.
