Internships, Fellowships, Research

Interns working with laptops in a room.

Learn international development by doing it, then by looking back at what you did.

Work with one of our programmes, alongside local people. Our work is currently focused in Kangra district, Himachal Pradesh.

As you go, ask the questions we ask of every project: what worked, what did not, and what to keep, change or stop.

Leave behind a clear record of what you learned.

How we learn

Three ways to take part

  • Internships

    Work with a programme for a defined period, gaining practical experience while contributing to ongoing work.

  • Fellowships

    Take on a longer or more in-depth placement, with greater independence and responsibility in a particular area of work.

  • Research

    Carry out research or fieldwork connected to our programmes, independently or through a university or other academic institution.

Where you can work

  • Sustainable Cities & Community Development

    With Nagar SUDHAAR SEVA Kendra in Kangra and Dharamshala: map neighbourhoods, make buildings and streets safer, and work on waste, livelihoods, green spaces and ward preparedness.

    Placements usually run for three to six months, and each one leaves behind something the town can use.

  • Rural Sustainable Development

    With Gram ViKAAS SEVA Kendra: village knowledge, agriculture, adaptation and self-reliance, alongside Gram Panchayats, women’s groups and young people.
