Unity

CHID International Program in Auroville, India

Studying in Auroville is an exciting opportunity to learn about literary
utopias/dystopias and theoretical writings about the formation of
intentional communities while living within and participating in one.
Auroville was founded in 1968 in South India by The Mother and other
followers of Sri Aurobindo with the intention of establishing a universal
township open to men and women from across the globe. While Auroville is
non-sectarian, spirituality is a core value for the community and all
members are expected to be committed to the goal of human unity. Auroville
is a complex community that struggles with the legacies of colonialism and
the difficulties of making a sustainable community in a difficult physical
environment while remaining faithful to the vision of The Mother. 

 

This program is open to students from all majors.  

Participants will earn full-time UW credit and maintain their financial aid
