Kolleru Lake Community Camp 2024
The weeklong Kolleru Lake Community Camp brings together a selected group of up to 25 students and early-career researchers / professionals from academia, government, NGO, and coastal communities. It provides a creative platform to deliberate collaboratively and learn about concepts, approaches and methods helpful to develop knowledge, skills, experience and expertise in applying the concepts of social-ecological systems and commons to the notion of Vulnerability to Viability (V2V) transitions. The Kolleru Lake Community Camp includes a creative mix of both classroom teaching and field training right in the heart of India’s largest freshwater lake – Kolleru. Participants will gain firsthand experience and creatively engage in furthering their understanding and knowledge of commons theory and practice as they apply to just and equitable V2V transitions, and with concepts and approaches that are novel, transdisciplinary and problem-oriented in nature.
