ARE — Auroville’s Alignment, Research & Education wing — is where inquiry becomes action, and learning becomes service.
It is the space where visitors, volunteers, newcomers, Aurovilians, and global collaborators find orientation, context, depth, and pathways to contribute meaningfully.
ARE holds the knowledge-work of Auroville: understanding the vision, studying its systems, documenting its evolution, and preparing people to participate in the City’s unfolding.
Here, knowledge is lived. Research is embodied. Education is a movement of the soul and a discipline of daily work.
10,000+ visitors engaged through Bonjour Auroville
500+ newcomers & volunteers trained
300+ youth engaged through YEP
30 ambassadors trained through Aware ONE
10–12 international fellows producing policy briefs, case studies & thematic research
Creation of open-access videos, toolkits, manuals & reports

Whether you come to understand, to contribute, or to grow, ARE is your entry into the deeper life of Auroville.
Learn the City.
Align with its purpose.
