Today, Rajshahi Local Guides celebrated the 8th anniversary of the Connect Forum. The event was held at Rajshahi College Campus and was attended by local guides from Rajshahi City and around. The event was an opportunity for the community members to come together and share their experiences and learn from one another.
During the event, participants shared their experiences with the Connect Forum and discussed how the platform had helped them in their contributions to Google Maps. They also discussed how they have contributed to the forum and how it has helped them grow as local guides.
Cutting the anniversary cake was the eventâs highlight, marking the 8th anniversary of the Connect Forum. The cake, decorated with the number eight (8), was cut by the participants amidst cheers and applause from the attendees. The delicious cake was then served to all attendees, who enjoyed it as they mingled and networked with one another.
Following the cake-cutting, an informal knowledge-sharing session about contributing to Google Maps was held. The active contributors led the session and shared valuable tips and tricks on effectively contributing to the platform and making the most out of the features available. The attendees were also given an insight into how to improve their contributions to Google Maps and make them more accurate and informative. The session was interactive, and attendees were encouraged to ask questions and share their experiences.

About the venue
We have selected the venue Rajshahi Collegeâs signature place named Udayaste Bangladesh. This sculpture represents the contribution of freedom fighters from Rajshahi to the independence of Bangladesh. A vast terracotta with historical heritage has been built over 160 square feet. The terracotta has been placed in the name of those whose contribution is undeniable from the time of the establishment of Rajshahi College till now.
