Education: |
|
After having completed 3 years (2012-15) of studies in Economics in India, I moved to France for an exchange year(2015-16). This year of student exchange was filled with different courses like International Economics, Economic Analysis, European Economy, European Policies and Institutions etc. The following year (2016-17), I completed a one year Master's Program (Master 2) in Social and Solidarity Economics (SSE)- Economie Sociale et Solidaire (ESS). This was an intensive program focusing on an alternative form of Economics. This means an Economy based on cooperation and collaboration rather than competition, built on the tenets on Sustainable Development. The courses were about different forms of organisations in the SSE sector, the management of such organisations, the history of SSE, SSE in the global perspective, International NGOs and Development organisations, Corporate Social Responsibility (General and in Europe), Performance and Impact Evaluation, Local/Community development, etc.
