Help us shape a sustainable urban future for Northeast India
Let’s Get Involved are a series of community engagement activities or sessions. These sessions are structured to discuss key matters relating to sustainable transportation, climate action, road safety to help build positive narratives around the same. A major goal of these sessions is to collate the concerns and suggestions of the participants and submit it to the local authorities for necessary action and policy making. The program also aims is build an alliance of like-minded individuals and organisations working towards influencing sustainable solutions to urban issues.
How it started
In 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic induced lockdown, we initiated and organised a few sessions of Pedal Talks (online discussion). We spoke with various experts and cycling enthusiasts on various aspects of cycling and sustainable transportation.
In 2021, following the above work, we started a series of in-person interactive group sessions called Mobility Talks. The sessions engaged people of different age groups and economic backgrounds about their travel behavior, the issues they face in their daily commute and their views on sustainable modes of transportation in Guwahati. The engagement acts as a focal point to learn and communicate the urban transportation issues plaguing the city, build narrative towards the best urban transportation practices in place, discover credible solutions appropriate for the city specific and focus on behaviours and attitudes of individuals with respect to sustainable urban mobility.
In 2022, the scope of the program was expanded and transitioned into a workshop-based model. It was re-branded as Let's Get Involved. On 31st October 2022 the first session was organised. Going ahead these sessions will be held as part of the Enhancing Sustainable Mobility and Building Climate Resilience in North-East India (ESMBCRNE) program
