India
From a safe and close-knit neighborhood where people stand for justice and help each other, Swayan carries with him the pride of belonging to a diverse community. He often expresses himself through poems, believing that words can capture the heart of his feelings. On the 360Plus journey, his reflections grew sharper as he thought about how climate change impacts the poor most severely, denying them basic needs. His blogs show how much he valued being part of the collective—exploring new cities, standing beneath Delhi’s monuments, and laughing with peers from around the world. His dream of being a role model for other women in his locality, showing that they too can “dream big,” was reflected in every experience he embraced with courage and joy.
