In an era when the future of the planet depends as much upon awareness as upon action itself, Equilibrium Earth searches for a sustainability storyteller that can help people feel the urgency of climate change-one story at a time.

Equilibrium Earth is an organization known for impactful sustainability and carbon removal projects, opening this unique opportunity to find storytellers who can turn data into emotion and statistics into human experiences. The role is beyond writing; it will be about bringing climate action to life with words, visuals, and campaigns that deeply connect with people.

The perfect candidate isn't defined by degrees or designations. Experience is no bar; background is no bar. What truly matters is empathy, curiosity, and a profound passion for the planet. The selected storyteller will undertake travel, listen to farmers, walk through forests, witness how communities shape climate resilience, and then weave narratives that inspire action and hope.

Equilibrium Earth believes that every ton of removed CO₂ has a story behind it: a farmer adopting regenerative agriculture, a mangrove restored, and a village breathing cleaner air. The storyteller's job is to make these invisible transformations visible and emotional.

Applicants are invited to share why storytelling matters to them, along with a sample of their work, at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. For those who believe that stories can heal, move, and mobilize, this may be more than a job; it's a call to give climate change a human heartbeat. Website: equilibriumearth.com

NHRC, India initiated the two-week Online Short Term Internship Programme with a total intake of 80 students selected out of 906 applications received for November 2025. The selected students represent various academic disciplines from 16 States and Union territories across the nation. The programme aims to impart a holistic understanding about promotion and protection of Human Rights to the college/ university students studying in any stream.

Shri Bharat Lal, Secretary General, NHRC, in his inaugural address said that the Commission has been trying to reach each part of the country in tune with its mandate through online internships for building human rights awareness among students. The purpose was to sensitize, educate, and inspire young minds to uphold human rights as living values rooted in dignity. He said that every denial-whether by discrimination or by non-availability of basic amenities- amounts to the denial of human rights, as dignity is central to all rights. He called upon the interns to reflect deeply and live purposefully and translate the Constitutional ideals into action to emerge as ambassadors of justice, empathy, and dignity. Shri Lal said that human rights are very dynamic, always evolving with time and bringing new challenges. 

Giving an overview of the internship curriculum, NHRC Joint Secretary, Smt Saidingpuii Chhakchhuak said that in 43 sessions by 34 expert speakers, the interns will be exposed to important topics such as international law and human rights, rights of manual scavengers, mental health as a human right, juvenile justice among others. The interns will also be given a virtual tour of Tihar Jail, police station and Asha Kiran shelter home in Delhi to gain practical insights into their functioning. They will also have book review competition, group research project presentation on the themes of human rights issues and declamation contest. Lt. Col. Virender Singh, Director was present

Design is a rapidly growing and highly successful discipline within the school. Through our design research, we explore the role of design in speculating on the future, envisioning, defining, and informing the societal, ecological, political and life-centred interactions and experiences that emerge between people and technology. We push the boundaries of pedagogical practice in interaction and innovation, encouraging students to think critically about and prototype the objects, systems, experiences, and materials that shape human experience and life on the planet through the design lens. Beyond the recognition that design does not occur in a vacuum, we actively collaborate across disciplines and with a range of external partners, including industry, not-for-profit, government and community groups and organisations, in inclusive and place-based ways.

Education-focused roles are a specialized category of academic engagement, reserved for talented educators with a passion for, and demonstrated excellence in, pedagogical practice and design. The successful candidate will devote the majority (up to 70%, or by mutual agreement 80%) of their academic workload allocation to education and educational development. We also value highly recognized expertise in higher education pedagogy.

The main areas of responsibility will include:

• Our expanding design programs, which include the Bachelor of Design (Interaction Design), Master of Design, and Master of Interaction Design and Electronic Arts, will be supervised, managed, and taught by the appointee.

• Take part in the continuing development of ADP's design programs, which include curriculum planning and development, program delivery and assessment, studio practice, and innovative pedagogies.

• Look for partnerships, collaborations, and educational, research, and engagement initiatives that provide opportunities to increase the visibility of design locally, nationally, and globally.

• Make a significant research contribution to the School through original, high-quality outputs that demonstrate robust disciplinary scholarship, contribute to current discipline interest areas, and offer strong teaching-research linkages.
