Society track of The Goa Project 2016

A society is a group of people involved in persistent social interaction, or a large social grouping sharing the same geographical or social territory, typically subject to the same political authority and dominant cultural expectations. Societies are characterised by patterns of relationships (social relations) between individuals who share a distinctive culture and institutions; a given society may be described as the sum total of such relationships among its constituent members. In the social sciences, a larger society often evinces stratification or dominance patterns in subgroups

  • Social Media and Technology: How are these two affecting societal situations today, and how are we leveraging them to stimulate change in untapped areas.

  • Stories of Social impact: The rising tide of social entrepreneurship. Social impact projects at scale and at the grassroots.

  • Patterns of relationships between subgroups of society: How cultural expectations affect our approach to politics, civil sense, and how we go about daily life.

The Leadership Manifesto : mapping We-Me-Us Journey

Submitted Jan 17, 2016

Technical level: Beginner

To leave each participant with reflections on where they are on their leadership journey. We will do this through a manifesto that we have created after speaking to leadership practitioners. This manifesto speaks about three journeys - ME, WE and US and we will be mapping ourselves vis-a-vis these.

Outline

We, at The Blue Ribbon Movement, initiated ‘leadership for tomorrow’ circles across India with leadership practitioners. We explored different questions such as - What will the new leadership look like?, What are the essential elements of leadership that should be preserved? What are the new perspectives, skills and approaches needed for young leaders for tomorrow?
Through these questions and outcomes of these circles, we decided to create our version of manifesto - an A3 size one page document.
I hope to hold a space with the participants on their journeys using this manifesto and exploring how each one of us can move forward.

Requirements

An authentic self
