Exploration  Understanding Personal Responsibility & Compassion
Global Consciousness Collective and Productive Action |
InSPIRE strives to:
-
Create a space and open up avenues to look deeper at India, deeper at ourselves,
and the interconnectedness of the world.
-
Enable us to explore what it means to be South Asian by seeing India through a
different lens, where we will be engaging in mutual learning and sharing with
various communities, movements, and
NGOs.
Through these experiences, we hope that participants will be able to recognize and
re-discover their relationship with India, while helping shape their world-view.
During this program, we will primarily be experiencing issues that will lead us to
explore ourselves. Through the self-exploration done via sessions, readings,
interactions, self-reflection, self-enquiry, responsible action, etc., we are trying
to build an understanding of ourselves, our aspirations, and our relation with the
world around us. As we venture on this journey of understanding, we anticipate the
development of personal responsibility and hope to lay the foundation for global
consciousness.
This program also aims to build a fluid network of young South Asians who will be
able to continually share ideas, visions and thoughts. We foresee the intrinsic
feeling of personal responsibility, a fresh perspective on global issues, and a
network of dynamic youth leading towards positive collective action.
Tangibly, we see our participants exploring a wide range of options in the future.
While some of our participants may choose to return to India to do service work,
others may select their career or graduate school path based on their new insights
and worldview. And still others may explore paths which are not already paved.
Ultimately, we envision all participants closely examining their own lifestyle and
choices, and therefore making responsible adjustments. Participants will gain
valuable experience that will, consequently, enable them to inspire their friends,
fellow students, family, and colleagues. In summary, we are striving to open
avenues so our participants can see the infinite possibilities that lie ahead of
them, can think responsibly and mindfully about these options, and are inspired to
act for positive change.
