To be a true Aurovilian
Updated: Sep 12
CIRHU citizen science online - Study #2
Published on 01/08/2026
Introduction to the topic:
This citizen science study is about exploring what it truly means to make the choice and commitment to be an Aurovilian.
People join for many different reasons, from different paths of life, and with different ideas of what joining Auroville implies. As Auroville has grown and developed, the lived reality of being a member of this community has changed significantly.
Whether you are a newcomer or a long-term resident, former Aurovilian, or someone who chose not to become an Aurovilian - your honest reflections will help map how people define being an Aurovilian today.
We warmly invite you to share resources - whether links to videos or research, or suggested readings by an inspiring author. Email: cirhu_citizenscience@auroville.org.in
Outcomes of this Citizen Science Study
We analyse incoming data at the end of each 3-month Living Laboratory Cycle and share the latest insights and evolving outcomes in the Field Journal in Human Unity.
The first outcome will be published in the beginning of October.
