Every year, Agami extends an exclusive invitation to apply to a curated list of justice innovators in the field. Having done the journey themselves, in some cycles, existing Agamishaala members also send out ‘Peer Invites’ to those who they think will benefit and add to the experience. Those invited to apply are then required to fill a short application form and send it in by the deadline. The team then evaluates the applications and selects a list of people for the next stage of interviews, either with an Agami team member or a past Agamishaala member. Based on the interviews, the members are confirmed. Members who have been part of a past Agamishaala, can’t re-apply.

We believe we can most effectively support leaders in building their capacity through a combination of personal growth and community support. To that end, each Agamishaala member is eligible to receive: 

• guidance from facilitators as part of Agamishaala;
• resources, and help from Team Agami as and when;
• key introductions to relevant network members based on need;
• access to ‘Agamishaala United’, the larger network of all Agamishaala members both online and at the annual retreat;
• Supported Passes for the Agami Summit

We design differently for different groups.

For the next edition, we are curating Agamishaala as an in-person to online experience running actively for 3 months. A grand retreat for all Agamishaala members, across the years, will take place in-person at ‘Agamishaala United’ right before the Agami Summit. Post that, curated spaces and sessions to deepen your learnings and connect with the community will be available to you to continue as you wish. 

No, there is no participation fee for Agamishaala. Agami will take care of hosting you at the in-person retreat in August (3n/4d)  2023 and at  ‘Agamishaala United’ (1d/1n night stay) right before the Agami Summit in December 2023. However, travel costs will have to be borne by the participants themselves. Exceptions may be considered. 

Specific expectations and time commitments include:

• Full and engaged participation during the 3 months. 
• Approximately two to three hours each month for sessions, activities, and wellbeing check-ins. We will try and do most online sessions on weekends barring major conflicts.
• Active communication with Team Agami as needed between monthly check-ins.
• Annual surveys, testimonials and data collection through December 2023- March 2024.

Let’s talk 🙂 Feel free to write and reach out to us for a conversation about the experience before you fill in your application form. We want you to feel comfortable about applying, and also curious and excited about what lies ahead but may not be fully visible just now… 

As a peer learning space, how each of us show up as members influences the other’s learning experience. Therefore, we follow the simple guidelines of right speech, thought and action in engaging with each other, the space and the collective.

We aspire to be both a courageous and caring community. We prioritize the felt safe space nature of all engagements and experiences we are a part of. In case of any violations, our processes will seek to honour that. To arrive at an informed response, we will explore best possible methods depending upon the situation – through community best practices, value-based frameworks, and/or legal frameworks where needed. Where we fall short, our intention will always be to learn and grow this space with the community.
