We talk a lot about sustainability, but what does that word actually mean? Is it a personal choice or a movement and legal construct that governments need to adopt? Is there such a thing as a 'sustainable lifestyle', or is it just a fad? Is it possible to practice ‘sustainable’ housing and agriculture while sheltering and feeding the billions of people on Earth?
Our week-long ‘YES: Youth, Environment, Sustainability’ Programme will help you explore these topics and more.
You will participate in interactive discussions, field trips, role plays, debates, and workshops conducted by experts in the field — activists, entrepreneurs, policy-makers, practitioners, and academicians. At YES, you will learn from these experts alongside students from around the world, giving you valuable insight into how different cultures approach sustainable living.
At the end of the programme, you will be equipped to make informed and sustainable choices, enabling you to lead projects of change within your community and beyond. The programme will also enable you to bring a change within to be a changemaker.

This programme built in me an awareness of not only the issues in my surroundings but also of the conflict that may go on in our subconscious while we ignore them. I’m walking away with the realisation that I have a major responsibility and also that I’m capable of contributing to averting the ecological crisis we’re experiencing.
MUWCI is situated in the Western Ghats, a world biodiversity hotspot outside the city of Pune. Our campus includes a 120-acre biodiversity reserve and conservation park, offering the perfect venue for students to submerge themselves in the study of the environment and sustainability.
