You don't need to be a student to learn from a village.
Individuals can access Rural Learning Lab through two pathways.
Monthly Immersive Group Trips
One Saturday. One village. A different way to learn.
Join our monthly small-group immersions from Bengaluru.
Spend a day in a village, meet local people, experience everyday livelihoods and explore a specific theme through conversations, activities, food and stories.
Each immersion is different, but the idea remains the same:-
Come curious. Learn from people. Leave with a new perspective.
Join our next Immersion
Local Narratives Fellowship
Go deeper. Stay longer. Learn with a community.
Our Rural Learning Fellowship is for individuals who want to go beyond a one-day experience.
The fellowship combines online learning with a 6-day immersive village stay in India, where fellows spend meaningful time with a community and explore rural life through multiple lenses.
You will:
Live and learn in a village
Meet local hosts, entrepreneurs and community members
Explore livelihoods, culture, ecology and local knowledge
Document and reflect on your experience
Work with other fellows
Develop a deeper understanding of rural India
Become part of the wider Local Narratives learning community
After the immersion, fellows can continue accessing the Rural Learning Lab ecosystem, including mentors, alumni, learning spaces and opportunities to explore ideas further.
One Platform. Many Ways to Learn.
Whether you’re a school, university or individual, Rural Learning Lab offers immersive ways to learn through rural India.
For Institutions
Customised programmes for schools, colleges and universities.
For Individuals
Bengaluru immersions and India-wide fellowships.
Learn from villages. Learn through travel.
