Spaces for collaborating, time for relating: the many faces of Partners’ Forum

Looking back, looking ahead

We reflected on our 20-year journey with our partners at Partners Forum, 2022. Through several panels, large-group sessions, and numerous, small-group conversations, partners from across India exchanged perspectives on important issues in education.

Partners Forum, 2022, was held at Chinmaya Vibhooti in Pune.

Partnering for change

Over 250 representatives from education organizations, working on a variety of educational issues, attended the Partners’ Forum, 2022, event in Pune. Wipro partners reached out to some of the most vulnerable and marginalized groups, such as children from urban slums, HIV-affected families, migrant-laborer families, street children, and children with disabilities. The partners presented their work to each other during the three-day event.

A thematic exploration

Organizations can give free and equal access to information to their beneficiaries in a variety of ways—written, electronic, audio-visual, etc.—and play a crucial role by providing engaging content. Partners’ Forum, 2022, offered tools and perspectives on how children can embrace social responsibility, overcome social, political, and economic constraints, and create chances for lifelong learning through other mediums, mystic music, or libraries.

Taking a break

Hosted by the Wipro Foundation team, the Partners’ Forum is designed primarily to serve as a retreat for Wipro’s partners. For many partners, these three days are the only ones in the year when they are able to completely detach from their usual work or take a break from it. These are also the days for the Wipro team to reconnect with partners in order to better understand their plans, concerns, and hopes.

Living in the moment

Chinmaya Vibhooti is a 63-acre campus, surrounded by the Sahyadri range. The region is rich in flora and fauna. Partners went on early-morning nature walks to explore the surroundings and identify trees, birds, and insects.
