PAKISTAN 2047 NATION BUILDERS FELLOWSHIPS
(Click here to apply for the Fellowship)
As the unfortunate events unfold before us in Afghanistan, serving as a stark reminder of how things could go wrong and what might happen as a result – we not being immune in any way to bad (or worse) outcomes in the past – it is time to redouble our efforts to take this country forward transform Pakistan into a stronger, more cohesive, more developed, scientifically advanced, just, tolerant, and humane country.
Achieving the true potential of Pakistan and Pakistanis by 2047 will require a tremendous national resolve and a different beat of development. But more importantly, it will require a younger generation of grassroots leadership with vision, knowledge, compassion, values, and dedication to the cause.
ARE YOU A 23-32 YEAR OLD YOUNG PROFESSIONAL in Government, Law, Media, Politics, or Business, Science, and other Disciplines?
Pakistan 2047 fellowships seek to help young leaders and professionals and give them skills, experiences, and networks necessary to transform them into a COMMUNITY OF CHANGE-MAKERS AND NATION BUILDERS.
PAKISTAN 2047 FELLOWSHIPS seek to create a community of change-makers and nation builders through an intense and experiential fellowship experience – multidisciplinary, collaborative, intellectual, and deeply impactful – spread over a year to impart and practice critical skillsets and shared learning that would prepare young leaders for principled and well-informed leadership and enable them to succeed, and succeed faster.

Holistic Science Teaching Workshop & Fellowship – July 2024
(REGISTRATION FOR HOLISTIC SCIENCE TEACHING WORKSHOP & FELLOWSHIP)
Holistic Teaching of Science: An International Teachers Workshop & Fellowship (REGISTER HERE)
World Science Collaborative Ltd (United Kingdom), in collaboration with, South East Asian Ministerial Organisation (SEAMEO) – QITEP In Science, Indonesia, Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), The Aga Khan University – Institute of Education Development (AKU-IED), and Qatar University, Qatar, as well as partners Khawarzimi Science Society (KSS), Lahore; Pakistan Innovation Foundation, Pakistan, and STEMx – STEM School for the World, Islamabad presents a unique workshop to enable teachers to explore and learn how to teach science holistically.
In our society, teaching of science is often extremely siloed and compartmentalised whereby the science teacher delivers the content in the classroom but does not relate what is being taught to the real world nor brings forth (or draws upon) the diverse body of knowledge available in disciplines such as history, philosophy, religion and ethics. In doing so, he/she runs the risk, at the very least, of leaving the scientific learning unconnected, or much worse, leaving the students more confused than informed.
It is absolutely critical, therefore, to teach science holistically i.e. connect the learning in the classroom with the real world, for example, by:
* Bringing together knowledge from diverse sources and disciplines such as science, history, philosophy, religion, and ethics?
* Using hands-on experiments and play to bring inspiration and insight in the science classroom?
* Planning lessons that adequately address the curious minds of students and encourage critical inquiry?
* Addressing Big Philosophical Questions that stem from scientific discoveries such as Big Bang, Multiverses, Genetics, Evolution, Artificial Intelligence, etc.
The Holistic Teaching of Science Workshop is OPEN to ALL Teachers of Science in Middle School (Grades 6-8) at any public, private, or religious (madrassa) school who struggles with teaching modern science in the classroom and wants to do better.
The Holistic Science Teaching Online (Hybrid) Workshop is 4th of 6 Workshops that will be carried out in Pakistan, Indonesia, and Qatar between Dec 2022 and July 2025. The Team comprises some of the leading researchers and scholars such as:
