[Mega Recap] Unofficial LocalGuidesConnect Worldwide Anniversary Celebrations Meetups

[KashifMisidia]

Twelve Meetups Around The World :

15th July was the Third Anniversary of Local Guides Connect (#LGC) , The forum which is spreading a lot of knowledge from the past three years, not just about the Local Guides Program but every field of life Specially Google Maps, Traveling, Food, Photography and dozens of other topics.

So this year we decided to celebrate the #LGC anniversary in #LocalGuides style homage.

We posted a call for #AnniversaryCelebrations meetups and had overwhelming response from many parts of the world. And remarkable support from Google, Google Moderators , Connect Moderators and Fellow Local guides.

There were many meetups for Celebration including Accessibility walk, Photo walk, Local Guides meetups and Environmental Meetups in it.

Let’s summarize all of them :

For #LGC #AnniversayCelebrations, there were seventeen meetups posted from Six Countries.

Luckily we saw Twelve of them completed , and Five of them couldn’t organized due to some last moment changes in plans.

But still it was a great achievement for us, because we got Seven new Meetup Leaders along with Five experienced Local Guides, and the best part, now they are continuing their new meetup hosting, because they enjoyed to be meetup leaders.

In these meetups we saw Accessibility, Map editing and photo walks by @PaulPavlinovich , @PennyChristie , @OmerAli , @SaifIS @SimonAndrews , @mumtazibrahim @shakilahmad46 and @Ramzan_bashir. Local Guides meetups by @JaneBurunina @nabeeltirmazi and @linktoaslam and along these meetups we saw environmental meetups by @Danish_Raza and @kashifmisidia

So many initiatives for one call. In one meetup local guides were doing a walk for a noble cause in Australia, another side of Europe and south asia local guides gather to share knowledge by each other, and in one side of East Asia local guides walking and capturing the beauty of the city in their camera.

That’s the beauty of Local Guides Program and Local Guides Connect.

We also launched specialized GIF stickers for Instagram/Snapchat featuring #LGC #AnniversaryCelebrations and included them in our stories throughout the month Thank to @omerali , not just for GIFs but overall for LGC Anniversary Celebration Meetups , it couldn’t be possible without help of my Dear Brother Omer Ali Bhai.

Thank you @Haseeb Bhai and @nabeeltirmazi Bhai,

As I mentioned in post, Local Guides supported me alot for Meetups around the world. And Clean the turtle Beach was the part of LGC Anniversary Celebration.

And we saw different styles of Celebrations from Local Guides. But the result is same, we showed unity and love for Whole Community of Local Guides.

And thanks for your support too Bhai.

Shukriya

[KashifMisidia]

Shukriya @azharmasood786 Bhai for your great motivational words.

I hope many of local guides from Pakistan will start initiatives like this soon.

Shukriya Sir

[KashifMisidia]

Hi @OmerAli Bhai, first of all thank you so much for your support, Guidance and encouragement not just for me, but every local guide who need it. As I mentioned in my post, it couldn’t possible with your help. You helped me alot to implied my ideas always. Shukriya for that.

The basic idea, as you said to engage more and more local guides with each other, and encourage new meetup leaders and host to arrange meetups in thier cities. It’s no matter more people are joining or not, but we have to take first step. And than I believe people surely join you. My fellow local guides and now great friends @Ramzan_bashir , @nabeeltirmazi

@Mumtazibrahim76 @Danish_Raza

@linktoaslam @SimonAndrews

@shakilahmad46 I feel 100% energy in them, but most of the local guides hesitate for their first meetups, so if can guide them properly, we can get best results.

They have now experience and I hope they will continue this journey inshaAllah.

Again Shukriya for your precious support.

[KashifMisidia]

Shukriya @Ramzan_bashir Bhai, @Zahid_Hasan Bhai, @martialazam Bhai, @shakilahmad46 Bhai, @Fazalkhanmughal Bhai,

And @leoking75

For your great words it’s giving us more motivation for future tasks.

Thank you so much
