About the Millennium Fellow
I am Danielle, from Western Sydney University in Sydney, Australia. I am studying a degree in Humanitarian & Development Studies, work with our Sustainable Futures office and am part of the SDSN student group. As part of the education system, I am passionate about Goal 4 especially, as not only is it a valuable Goal in itself, but by it people, communities and governments can learn what it means to live sustainably, together. I believe it is only through diversity - of cultures, worldviews and initiatives - we will develop strategies to mitigate climate change and achieve global equality. To that end, my aspirations include partnering with Indigenous cultures in Latin America, to promote citizen-driven, sustainable community development through education and capacity-building, supporting their right to self-determination and independence.
