The Faith for Earth Empathy Leadership (FEEL) Programme is a specialised international certificate course to sensitise children and youth, designed to make the environment an emotional and experiential affair. It is a collaborative effort of Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur, the Faith For Earth Coalition of the United Nations Environment Programme, and UNEPs India Country Office.

In order to build to secure a better future for our planet in crisis, we need to reach the hearts and minds of people to transform our relationship with the planet. Faith actors around the world offer unique insights into this relationship and SRMD, through the FEEL Programme have designed a practical learning programme to facilitate this.

The FEEL Programme is designed to go beyond textbook learning and personalises environmental education with values, nudging young minds to develop a deeper way of thinking, feeling, and interacting with nature. 

It assists children and teens in developing their emotional quotient (EQ) but also effortlessly instils age-appropriate skills in them. From arousing a sense of empathy in them to ensuring that they also learn how to envision transformation, execute their plans and empower others to do the same. This holistic programme is designed for schools, universities and virtual classrooms alike.
