Overseen by Oshwal Media Programme Students
To celebrate the launch of our Youth page on the new website, we are launching the Oshwal Writing Festival! We encourage all of our young members to submit blogs, short articles or vlogs (c. 300-500 words) which will be featured on our website.
This a great chance to have your work published and get involved with our community despite being distanced during the COVID-19 pandemic. You can start a discussion amongst fellow Oshwal members about any topic of your choice.
