Millennium Fellowship Project: Every YOU Matters
Team Millenium Fellows comprising of 9 set off their plans and start their execution in the early fellowship month of August 2022. Our first project was on Career Counselling, it was planned to target the students at our University and the school-going children. To make them aware of the career opportunities available to them and how to get benefited from them. Therefore, millennium fellows decided to do that job first. For that, we divide the topics among ourselves, researched them and prepare the slides. Afterwards, a nearby college for women only named ‘Gov. Jinnah Associate College for Women, Mozang, Lahore’ is reached out to. We went there for permission with an MCN LetterHead. All the journey to make a change in our surroundings.
Our second project was on health issues. So, being medical students, what would be more concerning us than addressing the health challenges and concerns prevailing in our daily lives? Therefore, we’ve decided to opt for the highly discussed and less cited topic of the day, Planetary Health, a multidisciplinary approach to address climate change, the biggest challenge of the twenty-first century.
We have planned to organise the workshop titled Planetary Health for All PH4A in our university for medical students so that they know what this topic is about. With some handful of activities on how to use the 3 R’s (Reduce, Reuse & Recycle) in their lives that workshop is planned to be executed. However, our main target audience is medical students of our university, so we can create Planetary Health awareness for future healthcare leaders and have a long-lasting effect for the years ahead.
