LEAP Mumbai Fellowship
Do you live in Mumbai? How do you feel about the polluted air and garbage choking our rivers and lakes? Do large slums and poverty in the city bother you? Do you think our government, businesses, NGOs and citizens could do more to make Mumbai more livable and sustainable?
About 20 Million people live in Mumbai. The city’s rapid growth has created social and environmental problems that negatively affect every Mumbaikar–and lead to poor health and mental stress. These various problems are inter-connected and amplify each other.
How can Mumbai transition to a more inclusive, livable, sustainable and ultimately, healthier and happier city?
The LEAP Mumbai Fellowship will bring together 24 young citizens (age 18-40) on a 4-months’-long learning journey to explore and understand the social, economic and ecological systems that make Mumbai thrive. Fellows will attend sessions and participate in discussions and visits that deepen their understanding of the various sub-systems and feedback loops in the city, thereby developing a nuanced, holistic, systemic perspective to the various complex challenges we see around us.
We will explore questions like, what does a ‘Good City’ look like? What is the role of citizens in creating a Good City? How can we cultivate personal leadership to make our city a better place for everyone?
