WHAT DOES THE FELLOWSHIP ENTAIL?
Fellows will attend 2-hour sessions via zoom twice a week
Environmental Education, January & February: An array of topics surrounding the key theme of environmentalism will be taught, such as circular economies and climate refugees.
These sessions will be led by the ACTION team in India, in addition to outside speakers from other organizations and/or businesses; including many interactive activities, such as debates, discussions, workshops and more!
Mentoring and Initative Execution, March & April: Learning how to utilize your strengths in order to solve issues in your local community.
These sessions include personal workshops with world leaders, the basics of initiative planning, entrepreneurial skills, and how to engage others with your passions. This will create a strong foundation for the fellows, as they begin to brainstorm and plan their initiative.
