What does GOTC mean in UNCLASSIFIED

A Gathering of the Clan (GOTC) is an event that brings members of the same family, social group or organization together to celebrate their heritage and culture. It typically includes activities such as music, storytelling, and other activities related to their identity and shared history.

Gatherings of the Clan can take place at a variety of locations, including homes, parks, community centers or other public spaces. Depending on the size and nature of the group attending, venues can range from large outdoor spaces to smaller indoor areas.

The length of a GOTC varies depending on what has been planned but is typically between one and three days. This allows for plenty of time for attendees to socialize and participate in different activities.

At a GOTC, all participants should treat each other with respect. That means refraining from any language that may be deemed offensive as well as respecting others' right to privacy and space during festivities.

Common activities found at GOTCs often include traditional music performances, storytelling sessions featuring folklore or family histories, communal meals, games or sports competitions relevant to their cultural history and art-making workshops.

Typically it's those within one particular family or organization who gather for these type events - however larger groups can also be formed if desired. All ages are welcome but some events may be geared towards certain age groups due to content or themes.

It is good practice to bring your own supplies such as chairs or blankets if you plan on sitting outside. Some organizers may also request that items such as musical instruments are brought along too so it's important to check ahead just in case!

Admission fees vary depending on location and what has been put together by those organizing however most charge minimal amounts if any at all since these types of gatherings are often run by volunteers interested in preserving their cultural heritage.
