Rex Karmaveer Global Fellowship Communities
Incepted in 2002 while planning to launch THE JOY OF GIVING mission, which is a global people movement today, the Rex Karmaveer Global Fellowship and Karmaveer Puraskaar Awards conceptualised and created by the International Confederation of NGOs (iCONGO), are the most credible, coveted and celebrated Global awards for social justice and citizen action. In 2008 at the behest of the United Nations (UN), iCONGO in partnership with the UN also conceptualised and created the Karmaveer Chakra awards to recognise and reward Individual Social Responsibility and Small Actions that make the BIG difference in our world by International Volunteers and Global Citizens. In 2019 we at the Rex Karmaveer Global fellowship mission launched 2 communities with our Rex Karmaveer Global Education Change Champions Fellowship for Educators, School Owners, Principals, Directors and Education Institute administrators and the Rex Karmaveer Global Youth Fellowship for students.

Now, Rex Karmaveer Global Fellowship is collaborating with global organisations around the world to create inclusive & coveted communities of change champions in different cities and curated, chosen fellows from different sectors & vocations. and has brought together a team of like-minded new age social impact entrepreneurs and leadership learning professionals to create Rex Karmaveer Global Fellowship Communities. This 2.0 version of the fellowship is taking all the fellowship and learning2learn activities online, making the REXPERIENCE available for all CHOSEN FELLOWS who are spread across various regions of India and abroad. The initiative in its new avatar has a modern hybrid approach, while keeping the original Rex Karmaveer Global Fellowship ideology of recognising change champions and people who are pursuing their passion and creating their own path in the society to change mindsets. Chaired by Jerry, the Rex Karmaveer Global Fellows Communities is governed by our advisory board which includes highly experienced missionary passiopreneurs, captains of industry, strategists, educators, learning professionals, celebrities and subject matter experts in different fields. The Rex Karmaveer Global Fellowship Communities would consist of coveted fellows in the field of HR, CSR, Learning & Development, CIOs, CEOs, NGO professionals, students, educators and other people in different vocations.

The main purpose of the communities is to create curated best practice life, leadership, learning2learn lessons for each community that we build within the Rex Karmaveer Global Fellows Communities ecosystem to ignite people's inner fires and enable personal transformation. All change begins with the self and our Learning Passion Mantra is "I change to change the world. I change to change our nation. I change to change society. I change to change our community. I change to change everyone and everything." Our Rex Karmaveer Global Fellows communities are curated, chosen people who are driven by purpose and have a shared vision, common cause and mutual intent of learning2learn for personal discovery, growth and transformation, because all change starts with the self. The biggest gift and award of the Rex Karmaveer Global Fellowship is the life, leadership and learning2learn lessons through our stories and insights that we share with each other for greater self-awareness, self-discovery/transformation and social consciousness, to inspire solid character and unleash our unlimited heroic potential.

Through our fellowship we create a unique REXPERIENCE for shared and collective learning by osmosis. One thing that we often forget is that people used to learn one on one and that this traditional learning was considered the norm. It is proof that learning by osmosis works; it has for a long time. Learning By Osmosis. Learning by proxy, or being exposed to someone, can naturally achieve an unconscious assimilation of ideas, knowledge and even technical skills. It’s called osmosis. The concept is not so different from animals learning from the herd or groups of students/teenagers/youth all naturally and collectively learning from each other through thought-provocation, wisdom-transfer and knowledge-sharing. At the REXPERIENCE, we make the life, leadership and learning2learn lessons, practical and pragmatic with simple stories and ideas for action. Based on the moJOsh Inspirator framework which is very powerful all Rex Karmaveer Global Fellows dive deep into the learning experience. The REXPERIENCE employs the Socratic Learning Method and Socratic Dialogue, based on the simple thought by Socrates “We cannot teach anyone, anything, we can only make you think”.

This makes the collective learning at the REXPERIENCE interactive, participatory, thought provoking, inspirational, transformational, experiential and fun as Fellows share their stories and our facilitators bring the LEARNING to LIFE with a powerful sense of humour (related to the learning) by explaining the HUMAN SCIENCES with TRUE CASE STORIES of REAL. That is our most UNIQUE DIFFERENTIATOR at the REXperience where we believe in making the learning and philosophy into practical learning for empowerment and improvement, rather than simply giving esoteric, exotic, excruciating Gyaan. People who have attended the REXPERIENCE call it the most energising, experiential and engaging life changing experience they have ever attended.
