Hosting structure: Project DEFY is an Indian non-profit organisation, that has created a unique scalable model of self-learning through physical spaces called Nooks. The organisation helps various underserved communities create their own nooks, where they self-learn, with the help of community, technology and curiosity.

Project description:

This internship is being offered for another core-process development. Creation of a Nook is an 8 month long process. The Nook is created together with the community and the partner who is the ultimate owner of the project. DEFY, in this period, establishes the nook in the partners community, and takes it to the point of self- running and independence, after which DEFY will not be needed. At this point, DEFY must also handover a kind of resource kit, that helps them to continue running the Nook.

The Nook runs roughly in three-month cycles, with four aspects – Outreach, Induction, Regular Project Making and Review. The Nook community and partner must be able to manage this post the 8 months. Besides these, some other resources must be created to help, for example, in choosing the next nook managers, managing funds and accounts, continuous reporting and social media, etc.

Required skills: 

• A strong proficiency in content (text and visual)
• An understanding of self-learning, and preferably some experience in it, in their own learning journeys
• Enthusiasm in working with communities, organisations
• A big-picture attitude
