Tree A Day

TREE A DAY

Tree a day is an initiative started by the chapter under the series ‘Know Your Plants’ a way to create an awareness, nurture a interaction on the diverse landscapes of our country. To make it more pan India and inclusive we took up the theme of state trees of India and uploaded one tree a day on our social media handles, facebook and Instagram. We also sought to involve our followers members and non-members by posting a small activity with each poster. The response we got was quite overwhelming with people sharing their memories of the tree, experience of their cultural/social association with it. This collage is a small glimpse of the initiative.

Member's Galleria

MEMBERS GALLERIA

The members of Isola are doing such good work through academia and in practice. We celebrated these achievements of our members through this initiative. The members each compiled their best work in a poster format and we uploaded it weekly all through the month of WLAM on our social media handles. The response in form of positive affirmations from piers and seniors was quite a take away for all participating professionals. This collage is a small glimpse of the initiative.
