With a mission to empower youth to take ownership of creating a sustainable future for themselves, Dalmia Cement and the TERI School of Advanced Studies (TERI SAS) have jointly launched a programme 'Climate Jamboree'.
The Programme aims to help youth engaged in different streams of study, and aspiring for diverse careers, to recognise both the common as well as unique opportunities they have to influence more desirable outcomes, a statement from TERI SAS stated.
A medley of diverse 'lead-up' events exposing youth to the diversity of sustainability solutions, culminating in a Finale that would stitch together the various elements in an engaging manner, the Climate Jamboree aims to carry the voice of youth to decision makers and opinion leaders.
With activities designed for students/young professionals of management, law, urban studies, natural and social sciences, media and communications, among many others, this programme also hopes to create communities of action in different geographies networked together for maximum impact, the statement added.
Open to youth across the country and beyond, most of the lead-up events would be undertaken on an online mode but the Finale, scheduled between November 1 3, 2018 at the Thyagaraj Stadium in New Delhi, aims to engage well over 10,000 youth and other relevant stakeholders to learn, innovate and collaborate on sustainability solutions.
At the Finale, Youth will have a chance to interact with national and global experts and express their concerns/ideas via interactive workshops, performing arts, exhibitions, technical sessions, live demonstrations, competitions, exciting innovations and many more outlets.
Our vision is to harness the energy and imagination of youth to initiate a movement towards a more climate friendly and sustainable future. Combining the knowledge of experts with the practicalities of on-the-ground actors and the enthusiasm of youth, the Climate Jamboree also hopes to find reflection in the responses of society at large." said Dr Leena Srivastava, Vice Chancellor, TERI School of Advanced Studies.
"Dalmia Cement, with the lowest carbon footprint in the cement world, has always recognised its responsibilities towards creating a fair and sustainable society. We are proud to announce our partnership with the TERI School of Advanced Studies for creating the capacity amongst India's youth to design a sustainable future, and to facilitate the creation of this transformative movement." said Mr Mahendra Singhi, Group CEO, Dalmia Cement Bharat Ltd.
