The idea of the Winter School is to create a platform for individuals to understand and challenge the dominant ideas about education, social segregation, and the power structures that exist in our society. The co-created space seeks to spur discussion on themes like importance of community knowledge, social work vs social change, engendering of education, social policy & practice, participatory research, and political-cultural dynamics around education. The RTERC Winter School has been held annually since 2014 at the IIM Ahmedabad Heritage Campus. Spanned across five days the school includes activities, workshops and seminars conducted by practitioners in the development and policy sectors, faculty from esteemed institutions, government officials, civil society organisations and activists. It concludes with participants proposing a practical project that they will undertake in the development sector. Past participants have worked on designing interventions and research studies in areas of social justice in education, policy implementation, technology integration in schools, sustainable waste management, Swacch Bharat Mission
