FUTURE SAKEProgram Insider Document

It’s high time we factor nature in our growth otherwise we can safely assume that we will be factored out of Nature’s plans. Ever since civilisation started, humans have strived to establish large settlements, and provide themselves with all the needs, comforts, safety and luxuries - unfortunately, at the cost of nature. This irreversible exploitation of natural resources was and continues to be looked up on as growth, especially over the last 200 years of rapid industrialisation and unchecked urbanisation. Sustainable growth has become the need of the hour and if we are to achieve this we need people with the right knowledge, attitude and behaviours.

Hence, at FutureSake our aim is to create a generation that has a symbiotic relationship with nature, ultimately leading to a more liveable planet. We believe that shaping the mindset of young generations in schools is the first step towards creating this future.

We look forward to having you on board.

FutureSake is a youth centred urban sustain-ability fellowship program. It is a unique platform for young Indians to gain exposure to the challenges of urbanisation and take up initiatives that make their own communities sustainable. We empower youth today so they can build the smarter cities of tomorrow.

We do this by engaging students through travel, simulations, projects and internships that equip them with the mindset required for a smarter future.

Today, 54 percent of the world’s population live in urban areas, a proportion that is expected to increase to 66 percent by 2050. Projections show that urbanisation combined with the overall growth of the world’s population could add another 2.5 billion people to urban populations by 2050.

In India, about 30 people will migrate to major Indian cities every two minutes from rural areas in search of better livelihood and lifestyle. It is estimated that by the year 2050, the number of people living in Indian cities will touch 842 million. To accommodate this massive urbanisation, India needs to find smarter ways to manage complexities, reduce expenses, increase efficiency and improve the quality of life.

LE | FutureSake and the City in a Garden

Once the students get to Singapore, they rest, relax and kick start the program with a grand & high spirited FutureSake Opening. Maintaining this energy they jump into the Lion City with a night tour, combining three adventures to experience the best of Singapore by boat, bus and foot. They will enjoy a Singaporean dinner, watch an amazing light and sound show at Gardens by the Bay, take a fully narrated hop-on hop-off bus tour to sites such as the Bugis St shopping corridor, and admire gorgeous views on a bumboat ride from Merlion Park to Marina Bay Sands.

The first stage of the program helps a student observe, explore and analyse the spaces and practices in their school. The purpose of this exercise is for students to familiarize themselves with the use of energy & water and understand the waste management practices in their school premises.

Students have the chance to let themselves free at Universal Studios Singapore, a theme park located within Resorts World Sentosa on Sentosa Island, Singapore. They can go beyond the screen and ride the movies at Universal Studios Singapore. They will experience cutting-edge rides, shows, and attractions based on their favourite blockbuster films and television series.

Students will attend a conservation talk on marine life biodiversity, marine habitats, survival and marine conservation by experts. They will then go through a guided tour of Underwater World and interact with various marine animals. The day will end with students slipping into their sleeping bags in the oceanarium and using the ocean as their blanket.

Students will deep dive into initiatives taken up by local schools (one or more) in Singapore. This is done through visits, sharing of initiatives, discussions, debates and so on. (The finer details of this day can be shared only once program dates are confirmed.)

After yet another interesting day students will enjoy nightlife Singaporean style at the Night Safari where they’ll be greeted by over 2,500 resident animals from over 130 species – including many indigenous to the region, such as the endangered Asian Elephant, Malayan Tapir and Malayan Tiger.

Students start this day with some fun filled games that help them learn about green building features & practices. They will then have the opportunity to apply this knowledge to a “Greening the school case study”. We wrap up the day with free time to shop till you drop at City Centre Mall or the near by Mustafa Market.

As soon as students are back, they will review an express their learnings in the following format –

- A problem they want to address in their school or home- Their proposed solution

Students will have to submit their solutions in the form of a photo essay, a comic or a video that we will further share using the FutureSake online platforms.

We are four pragmatic individuals who believe that travelling and interacting with the world has been the most powerful learning experience in our lives. We want the youth of today to take up such experiences, understand the world and make it their playground. EDUYatras has been the latest

chapter of our lives, 5 years and still traveling!

We envision co-creating a knowledge society, one which constructs, shares, and uses information for the prosperity and wellbeing of its people. The desired outcome of all our work has always been to build leaders, who can take on complex and pressing global challenges. There is a pressing need

to solve them all, one by one. We are rooted to this highway of challenges & enlightenment.
