Drishtee Immersion Programme

15 September 2017 to 30 September 2017

Maharashtra, India, Maharashtra

Interested in social enterprise and sustainable development?

 

Be part of this three-week immersion programme that has participants as guests of a rural community – to become villagers, to participate in everyday life and to see, feel and impact their real needs. Drishtee Immersion employs a bottom-up approach that allows empathy-level understanding of real people on the ground, so that participants and villagers can collaborate hand-in-hand to co-create new, innovative empowered approaches to everyday needs.

 

Based on a community-based learning approach, there are opportunities for self-directed learning, supported by a team of experts in diverse fields including cross-cultural communication and empathy, rural Indian society and industry, anthropology, innovation and sustainable rural development.

 

Drishtee Immersion seeks to connect youth from around the world with rural communities to affect positive change in both.
