About the Travellers’ University

Travellers’ University is a learning community to support individuals who are interested to travel and learn to deepen their knowledge and understanding of themselves and the world, and are looking for alternative choices in Education.

It is a platform to nurture curious minds, encourage questions and push one’s thought process by giving them exposure to traditional knowledge systems, a plethora of sustainable solutions available, varied philosophies, ideologies, and realities. 

About the Fellowship

 The 52 Parindey Fellowship is a 6 months long programme for youth exploring alternative livelihood paths and dreaming of a sustainable, equitable, and just world. It is a leadership journey designed and co-created by the fellows and Travellers’ University. ​

The fellowship will serve as an immersive on-ground learning experience for the fellows to explore meaningful and regenerative livelihoods (Alivelihoods) by travelling, living with and documenting the life journeys of Alivelihood practitioners (Parindeys) engaged in socially and ecologically conscious pursuits.

It will provide them with practical understanding in the domain areas of their interest (such as Conservation, Education, Waste Management, etc.). It will create avenues for their personal growth as the fellows will lead a journey of self-exploration, helping them understand ground realities, shaping their worldviews, and paving way to take affirmative actions.

 ​The fellowship envisions to educate youth about the various Alivelihoods by documenting best practices, sharing pathways to pursue them, providing access to a network of mentors,  and creating a space for dialogue among the masses.

Stipend

Fellows will receive an overall stipend of Rs. 40,000 to take care of their travel, food and accommodation. We encourage our fellows to experiment with their relationship with money in the course of identifying their needs and managing them in a minimalist way. A part of this amount will be raised by the fellow, with the assistance of TU.
