Applications Open | O Ri Duniya: An 8-week long online gathering for building environmental understanding through introspection using films

Dear Friend, 

Empathy Connects is pleased to invite you to the next edition of “O Ri Duniya” program, an 8-week long online gathering for curated conversations to understand our world - how it was, has been and can be! 

The program aims to build the environment and ecological understanding through questions such as how we all landed up here, what have we done to ourselves and the planet, how have we been using our knowledge and wisdom, where did we go wrong! And then ultimately, what can we learn from this and what can be a way forward..

The Program Process:

The invitation on the table through this 8 week long program is to engage with the topics by:

• Watching films that give an insight into the issues at hand - we will share with you a film every week. 
• Write the observations, questions and evocations in a reflective journal.
• Followed by an online dialogue every week where all of us will gather to share our reflections and listen to each other’s reflections based on a rigorous, thought provoking process laid out by the Facilitator on a zoom call.

Who should apply?

This introductory program is specifically for those who are interested in (either one or all of the below):

• objectively identifying social and environmental problems around. 
• understanding the problem in depth along with substantial self reflection.
• investigating the current reasons for ecological imbalance because of a dilapidated and an unfavorable system.
• exploring the existing and aspirational alternatives to  the current lifestyle, the one that is not ecologically sustainable.

Requirements:

• The mode of watching films and discussion is online, so the participants would require a stable internet connection. 
• Commitment 5-6 hours a week for watching film and participating in the online discussion with reflections.
• Curiosity and an open mind to explore perspectives beyond one's current understanding.
