Dakshin is partnering with the French Institute of India and the Alliances Françaises network to organise **Festival of Ideas** - a travelling event series featuring conversations, films, exhibitions, and performances centred on the future of our oceans and coasts. The festival will take place across **Delhi, Goa, Pondicherry, and Chennai** between **2nd and 25th May**.

We’ve got panel discussions planned in each city, and we’re hoping to invite a few distinguished guests - especially people working in **philanthropy, research, or policy** - who might be interested in joining the conversations. If you have any recommendations, we’d be very grateful if you could reply here by Monday.

For any questions, feel free to DM our Communications Officer at 8590305746.

Thank you so much for helping us spread the word!
