About Program
Calling all social impact enthusiasts! Our 4-week Impact Journey provides you with the opportunity to gain a deep insight into India’s social impact landscape. During your Impact Journey you will set out on social enterprise visits, participate in workshops run by industry professionals, and also have time to discover the rich heritage and history of Hyderabad through our cultural visits. You will travel to Auroville in Tamil Nadu, or better known as the city of sustainability, to learn about one of the first international communities focused on sustainable lifestyles and environmental preservation. You’ll be supported by a team of mentors to develop and pitch a social business idea to an expert panel, focused either on a social issue in India or in your home country. You will then go on to undertake a volunteer project with one of our partner organisations giving you the opportunity to share your skills whilst gaining work experience with a grassroots social enterprise.
