Interest Groups
Ornamo’s interest groups provide a platform for members to gather and discuss topics or fields of interest. These groups can organize discussions, events, or write online articles to be published through Ornamo’s channels.
HOW TO GET IN?
You can participate in Ornamo’s interest group activities by either joining an existing group or establishing your own. Each interest group will have its own mailing list, allowing members to stay connected and communicate about group activities. Open events organized by the interest groups are listed in Ornamo’s event calendar and shared in the members’ newsletters.
To establish a new interest group, you will need a group of 3-5 people, at least one of whom must be an Ornamo member. Application forms will be processed in September of the current year. Once the application is approved and the group is established, the interest group will be open for others to join.
