What We Ask of You

Firstly we ask that you respect the intent of the program and the people and organisations that will host us in India.
Secondly we ask that you engage with the program and with your fellow participants with respect, valuing diversity and different ways of understanding and working. We expect goodwill from all participants and an honest engagement in the processes. The facilitators will provide a safe and positive environment for participation and dialogue.
Thirdly we ask that you strive to give back what you have gained by your travels by contributing to a better world on your return home through the work of Oxfam or similar organisations. This may be by agreeing to share your knowledge and experience by talking to a wider audience say at work, at church or equivalent or in organisations you are associated with. It may be that you work with other participants from the program to raise funds for organisations like Oxfam for those people you have visited, or become involved in positive change through the campaigning work of Oxfam or others. The number of possibilities is limitless and further suggestions will be discussed during the program in India.
