Millennium Fellowship Project: Bend the Trend
INTRODUCTION:
The Project, Bend the Trend, was an attempt to address the aggregate of some of the major concerns that affect young people in our community, to wit, poor attitude towards education and learning, gender inequality and gender-based violence, and unwholesome approach to health. The main objective of the Project was to actively engage secondary school students on these issues and, thereby, “bend” the downward “trend” as regards the aforementioned concerns
The Project primarily hinged on SDG 4, Quality Education, as the goal was to restore the eroded value of education in the minds of the students who were reached. For context, in our community and much all over the Nigerian community, there has been a trending slang in Pidgin English, “School Na Scam”, among young people. Loosely translated to proper English, it means Education is worthless” or “Education is overrated”. The Project aimed to disabuse the minds of the students of that notion.
Relatedly, the Project also touched upon SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 5 (Gender Equality), in order to create awareness amongst the students about the role of education in promoting good health and well-being and combatting gender inequality and gender-based violence.
PROJECT DETAILS
The field of outreach chosen, Government Secondary School, Tudun Wada, is a public community secondary school within the Jos metropolis, in Nigeria. Over 400 students who were the primary target audience were reached. The highlights of the event of the day were workshops and talk sessions which included a talk on the importance of quality education, a talk on wholesomeness of health (physical and mental), a debate on “School Na Scam?”, and a brief talk on gender inequality and gender-based violence, including defense mechanisms in vulnerable situations
