Satyarthi Movement for Global Compassion (SMGC) invites applications for its immersive summer experience for college students ready to take on the world’s toughest challenges—with Compassion.
Opportunity Details
The world is grappling with many complex challenges. Wars, systemic injustices, extremism and climate crises are all on the rise. The most vulnerable and marginalized populations are the worst sufferers. Also, there is an alarming increase in feelings of disconnectedness, loneliness and apathy.
It is clear that we need a new path—one that leads to justice, equality, peace, and sustainability. Their Founder, and Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi, believes in the urgent need to globalise Compassion. He defines Compassion as the force born out of feeling the suffering of others as our own, that drives mindful and selfless action to end that suffering.
To stand up against injustice and inequality, the world needs Compassionate Leaders. People like you who believe in doing their bit to create a better world, for everyone.
That’s why they have created our first-ever, fully sponsored Satyarthi Summer School (SSS): a 30-day residential program from 8th June to 5th July 2025 in New Delhi, where a chosen cohort of 25 students will come together to practice mindful problem-solving to address complex challenges. You will learn and work with grassroots communities, global experts, and change leaders, including Mr. Satyarthi to experience compassion as a force for transformation.
