Educational Development Through Research, Consulting, and Policy

Community Connection

In many ways, this project is a continuation of my internship from the summer of 2016. My connection with the children and their education began during summer 2016 when I was selected by McGill University’s Arts Internship Office for the AID India intern position in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Once I reached Chennai, I was chosen to work with the Eureka Education team which focused on the development of educational resources. The two central tenets of my summer included curriculum research and resource development. While my internship taught me a lot, it also showed the scope for more work.

What do you hope to achieve?

I am incredibly excited to spend the coming year in Chennai implementing a project with the guidance and aid from the Pathy Foundation Fellowship team. I am looking forward to a year filled with opportunities for growth as a leader, team-mate, and an effective member of the community. I also look forward to implementing the many lessons that I have learnt from Coady Institute.
