First Year Course: SELF, SOCIETY AND SUSTAINABILITY

The aim of the first year is for learners to begin to unlearn their dependence on external sources of knowledge and to engage in co-creating their self-directed learning path. They will also learn basic jugaad (playful improvisation), planning, facilitation, media and communication skills, as well as identify a practice area to pursue in more depth. There will also be various explorations and experiments to understand the meaning of Swaraj. Khojis are exposed to different kinds of community contexts – rural villages, social movements, entrepreneurs and non-profit organisations.
