Course Description

We are offering three one-month courses introducing Auroville’s relationship with its surrounding villages as an opportunity for applied Human Unity.  Most sessions take the class out to visit villages and sites of projects where Aurovilians are working with and for the villagers: schools, vocational training programmes, women’s clubs, youth clubs, etc.  Participants are expected to be pro-active in asking questions and will be encouraged to examine their own biases and impediments to achieving human unity.
