Surya Pratap Deka is the Founder of Flourishing Minds Foundation, a non-profit organisation that began in 2011 to explore questions such as – What sort of learning could contribute to human flourishing? How can the process of learning engage children to think clearly, feel compassionately, and act ethically? How can schools, families, and communities support that kind of learning? Today, FMF runs an early childhood centre in rural India and offers educational programs for individuals and organisations across the country on areas of learning and wellbeing. Surya is trained as an engineer, psychologist and educationist, and is currently pursuing his PhD at the University of Cambridge, UK.
