I, Society & Public Policy is a four-day residential
seminar with an aim to engage young people with social
and economic issues through an understanding of public
policy. ISPP provides a greater understanding of the
larger world-society, economy and the culture-within
the classical liberal framework that emphasises limited
government, rule of law, free trade, and individual
rights.
It makes you exercise your grey cells where YOU do
the talking; get to know REALITY with your own eyes;
watch documentaries; have interactive discussions
with experts and chit-chat over coffee and food!
ISPP makes you an informed citizen, challenges your
beliefs & develops critical thinking and makes
you a change agent!
Seminar
Design
The format of ISPP is interactive with discussions,
working groups, field visits, and documentary videos
followed by group discussions. We start at 9 am and
end at around 11 pm, though most students rarely stop
then.
- Interactive Talks: by experts
and practitioners in media, academics, research,
government, development sector, and corporate sector. Our seminars have been graced by speakers including P Chidambaram, Swaminathan Aiyer, Ajay Maken, Arvind Kejrival, Ashok Kamath, Jayaprakash Narayan, PD Rai and many more.
- Working groups : Small groups
encourage participation, creativity and expression
- Researching Reality Field Exercise
: First hand research on vendors, cycle-rickshaw
pullers, auto wallahs, shop owners, coolies, construction
workers
- Documentaries: 3-4 documentaries
supplement lectures and working group exercises
with powerful visuals
