You can now check out our Goa Spatial Planning Report!
Developed as part of the Goa Spatial Planning Course at V. M. Salgaocar College of Law, conducted by us in collaboration with Act for Goa and the Goan Philosophical Society; this four-week interdisciplinary programme explored how land, law, and development intersect to shape Goa’s environment and communities.
Through lectures, satsangs, panel discussions, and interactive sessions, participants engaged with key questions around spatial planning, natural resources, and governance. This report brings together their creative reflections, offering a collective glimpse into how young learners are rethinking Goa’s evolving landscape.
Read the report using the link in our bio and join the conversation!
Send us your photos, your art, your words.
What moves you, what inspires you, what you believe is worth holding onto and stories of people that often go unnoticed.
We’d love to share it, celebrate it, and give it the space it deserves 🌸
Youth Climate Unconference, led by Act for Goa (@actforgoa ), featured a youth-driven agenda focused on issues that matter most to young people about Goa’s future, through conversation, creativity, and the kind of thinking that rarely makes it into formal spaces.
Hosted in collaboration with @goa.statebiodiversityboard , Goa State Climate Change Cell, @goa_college_of_art , @circlewallas , and @nyccindia during Climate Week India 2025, the agenda was set by the people in the room.

What happens when everyone in the room has a voice?
Participatory gatherings like this Youth Unconference during @climateweekindia created space for collective wisdom and real collaboration.
If you’d like to learn how to host and facilitate spaces like this, the 'Art of Hosting' training is happening at the end of the month in Bangalore.

Made-in-Local is our greatest superpower. We are amplifying it at Placemaking Weekend Goa on Regenerative tourism.
Here is Made-in-Local Goa edition:
• Wake up early enough to hear the poder’s( baker) cycle bell and buy warm poi straight from the basket.
• Sip small-batch cashew feni in a village bhatti and learn how the fruit becomes fire.
• Celebrate São João in June : wear a kopel ( floral crown) , visit neighbors, and take that fearless monsoon leap into a well, ponds and streams.
• Practice susegad properly : long lunch, longer conversation, no agenda.
• Watch fishermen pull in their nets at dawn along the Mandovi.
• Attend a tiatr performance : Goa’s sharp, musical social commentary on stage.
• Wander Fontainhas slowly, not for the photos but for the stories behind the azulejos and balconies.
• Eat at a family-run kitchen before it becomes a hashtag.

Placemaking is a people-centered, collaborative approach to planning, designing, and caring for public spaces. It helps transform everyday areas, like parks, streets, and plazas into vibrant places that support community health, happiness, and well-being 🌿
This weekend, we’re coming together to do just that.
Join us and volunteer! We’d love to have you 💚
