Curious about what ARI students actually do? Our Projects page showcases how research becomes a tool for deeper understanding—not just academic output. These are not theoretical assignments, but real investigations grounded in collaboration with NGOs, local leaders, and global issue-area experts. From fieldwork in Asia and Africa to community-based studies on education, health, and the environment, each project begins with a thoughtful question and evolves through hands-on engagement. You’ll see how over 300 students each year pursue inquiry that is respectful, rigorous, and rooted in lived experience—never voluntourism. Whether you're a prospective student, educator, or parent, the Projects page offers a window into the kind of intellectual and personal growth ARI fosters.

Project Timeline
Key milestones and phases of our research projects, designed to drive innovation and impact.
Online Training (8 hours)
Phase 1
Students join live online sessions led by experienced coaches who introduce key topics like global development, ethical research, and cultural sensitivity. These interactive classes prepare students for the field with practical frameworks and real-life case studies.
Remote Research (20–40 hours)
Phase 2
Before heading into the field, students explore their chosen topic through self-directed reading, online resources, YouTube interviews, and by designing digital surveys. This phase builds critical background knowledge and research curiosity.
Field Research (7–10 days)
Phase 3
On-site, students conduct interviews, visit communities, and collect primary data alongside local experts and NGO partners. Each team produces a final deliverable—such as a research article, visual report, or short documentary—that reflects their findings and analysis.
Purpose Projects (2 months up to 3 years)
Phase 4
Students continue their impact journey by launching real-world initiatives inspired by their fieldwork. From fundraising campaigns to educational outreach or pilot interventions, these projects grow annually and are supported by mentor check-ins and community feedback.
