U.S. Mission to India

Description

The Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Consulate General in Kolkata (PAS Kolkata) seeks proposals for a project entitled “Social Action Lab.” In order to build a network of committed and passionate change makers in East India, a group of promising young men and women leaders from previous PAS Kolkata programs will be selected through a competitive process to join alumni of USG exchange programs for a leadership workshop to equip them with skills to enact change. The week-long workshop, to be held at the American Center in Kolkata, should focus on leadership and team building, as well as the designing and implementation of effective programs that address gender equality. At the end of the workshop, the participants will pitch ideas for follow-on engagements, of which a total of 5-7 projects will be selected for implementation by PAS Kolkata in coordination with the grantee.
