" I am both honored and thrilled to be a Millennium Fellow and being part of this global network where I look forward to work with leaders all around the globe who have the same goal, to change the world. Being part of this initiative will no doubt help me and my peers to acquire the knowledge and the necessary skills and tools so that we can implement on our project and have a greater impact in the community. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Social Inclusion
Our project consists of raising awareness in
our society towards people with different
disabilities through campaigns on several
social media platforms, conferences, activities,
and workshops. All these activities will be
made in public spaces where the community
can participate and experience first hand what
it is like to live in the shoes of people with
disabilities. Because we are focusing on the
Sustainable Development Goal number 10:
Reducing inequalities we believe that the
previous propositions of activities will result in
creating empathy and awareness in the
community towards people with these
conditions. At the end of the month of events,
we will challenge a local business to make
their establishment more inclusive like having
employees with disabilities, having the menu
in braille or having accessible entrances.
