This month-long practicum takes students to India over December and January to study how communication works when local government bodies, civil-society actors and NGOs put together sustainable development initiatives. Its interdisciplinary approach allows students to see individuals and communities in collaboration and conflict in the context of the international eco-community of Auroville in Tamil Nadu, south-east India. Students explore multiple fields, including microfinancing, health care and environmental management. On-site visits and team projects are central to the course.
