SUB: Students- Akhuwat Fellowship Program ( AFP)
Akhuwat Fellowship Program (AFP): The Akhuwat Fellowship Program seeks to build and cultivate a community of change-makers, creative entrepreneurs, and moral leaders committed to making a difference. It will serve as a platform enabling people and organizations to unlock their potential to drive social change.
This year, the Fellowship will engage young minds, practitioners, and policymakers so that collectively they can critically analyze the gaps in our society and work towards creating a more compassionate society. We aim to find collective solutions and develop alternative pathways rooted in kindness and equity, to grave problems our world faces today.
The fellowship will focus on different themes and their impact on the development sector. These themes include Education, Empathy, Healthcare, Human-centered design, Economics, Environment, Crisis Management, and Interfaith Harmony. Guest Speakers who are pioneers in their fields will be invited to share their expertise on these themes and encourage the fellows to develop a critical thinking approach to solve complex problems.
The AFP fellowship is open to apply for all DUHS students, as it will be an extremely enriching and exciting program.
We are looking forward to a great response from the students of Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi.
Please note that students from all academic backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
