For participants, Immersion is a truly unique opportunity to travel into authentic rural India. There's no tourist trail here, just real villages with an indescribable warmth and generosity of spirit. You'll be driven to repay this with your passion, energy and empathy. Immersion is a place for you to explore the world, explore yourself, to be inspired towards whatever future leadership goals in your dreams.
For educators & organisations, Drishtee Immersion provides a world-leading pedagogical approach to experiential learning. Based on design thinking inspired 'flipped learning' methods we teach participants advanced empathy skills to empower deep engagement with India and their host community. At junctures throughout there are opportunities for self directed learning, supported by a team of experts in diverse fields including cross-cultural communication and empathy, rural water, rural livelihoods, innovation and sustainable rural development. Further, participants collaborate constantly with community stakeholders to ensure their learning and project outcomes are deeply embedded in meaningful local needs.

We are a partner you can trust for creating positive social impact.
