Besides, The Bridge, a collaborative research encounter, will present and share the Auroville Lboratory with researchers engaged in similar fields in India and around the world. The event aims to convey the full potential of this laboratory and issue an open invitation to formulate projects, conduct research on and actively engage in the Auroville experiment.
December 16 to 23 will feature the Special Fifth edition of The Auroville Film Festival.
The focus will be on themes of human unity and feature films across four categories – films by residents of Auroville and its bioregion; films about Auroville and its bioregion; films by students of Auroville and its bioregion; and international films that develop the theme of human unity.
