working with us
Running the india & me programme requires a range of roles (scroll down to see these).
You can chose the role suits you best. For all roles however, it’s important for you to participate in the Explorations of the Capacity Development Programme.
Exploration 1: experiencing the cafe
In this stage you participate in the 'india & me cafe' as a co-unlearner, engaging with the process first-hand.
​
Exploration 2: building a conceptual understanding about india & me
​
-
While Exploration 1 immerses you in the cafe as a co-unlearner, Exploration 2 will help you understand it from behind the scenes
-
You’ll unpack your experience with the core team and other participants, and take a closer look at the three-year journey behind india & me.
-
You’ll also explore the cafe's rationale and structure—lesson plans, key messages, cafe tables—along with FAQs, coordination processes, and the ethos behind creating safe and brave spaces.
-
​
This phase also involves engaging with key resources and getting to know your peers and the core india & me group.
Exploration 3: chosing and practising your role
In this stage you step into a role that best suits your strengths—whether as a cafe facilitator, coordinator, social media outreach, safe space facilitator, or technical support. You’ll help run an india & me cafe, gaining hands-on experience.
Once you join us, there’s also room to shape your involvement in ways that work for you. You’re welcome to suggest new roles that you find meaningful and that could further enhance india & me’s reach and impact.
