The collective will from time to time drive activities towards the enhancement of the development ecosystem and landscape in Bihar.
Proposed Activities
- Establishing Networks: Creating a database of people doing different quality work, assessing them for their work, ethics, values, impact. Connecting the people in the network to each other as per their needs and requirements, arranging cross learning visits, building collaboration dialogues & more as per the need of the collective/individual.
- Safe environment to share: An exclusive and trustworthy environment for individuals to reflect, connect, share and to learn. What is said in the collective, stays within the collective, because it is the only way for people to trust each other & in the idea of the collective. Those who are found to break this trust will be barred out rightly, after proper scrutiny.
- Collective capacity building: Conducting relevant leadership sessions, sector workshops, meet-ups on different themes on regular basis through identifying & inviting relevant person, internally and externally. This would raise the collective capacity of the group and bring everyone on same page on how we want to shape our work, accounting systems, hr policies, legal framework etc.
- Mentoring : Finding suitable mentors and connecting them to individuals/organizations needing their support. Provide support to incubate ideas at basic level & help them nurture within collective’s capacity.
