An experiential event

As a Commutineer, we will invite you to an experiential event of 6 days in September 2010.
This event will consist of spaces to share personal life journeys, passions and ideas for change, workshops on building leadership skills, discussions on social issues, and ample opportunities for cultivating friendships with other Commutineers and all the collective members.

>> The First Quarter

September - November 2010

Preparation for and initiation of the journey

You, along with CYC shall have the opportunity to identify a facilitator, who will travel with you offering support and mentoring in a spirit of co learning through the year long journey.

You would be able to use this time to develop a Learning Plan for Personal Growth and Development.

We will encourage you to initiate critical learning through self designed internships, exposures, meetings etc. and undertake relevant field exploration to develop your change ideas for the social change experiment you desire to lead.

Based on this you will develop a proposal for your Learning and Leadership Journey including an action plan and budget, and present this to CYC.
All Commutineers will be offered a learning grant of Rs 25000 for the first quarter.

>> The Learning-Leadership journey

December 2010 to August 2011

You will undertake a range of learning opportunities by choice and offer leadership to the social change experiment in your chosen community.
Through regular updates and other sharing forums you will be able to reach out to and input into the journeys of fellow Commutineers.

You will also become part of the various common learning and leadership platforms created within the collective space.

As a group of young change leaders you will also have opportunity to organize an outreach event to engage with many other youth across the country.

Based on an action plan and budget from commutineers, we will make a further grant for these 9 months. Grant amounts will vary and will be arrived at through a consultative process.
