" My art and my work are driven by systems of thought that foster creativity and adaptation. Participating in the Millennium Fellowship will help me develop the skills and talents that are related to creativity which is the basis for most of what I do. My social influence on schools and artistic communities will be tangible thanks to the skills I receive during the Millennium Fellowship, which will also be in line with the UNAI ideals and SDGs. I'm eager to develop my skills in anticipation by approaching education and other aspects innovatively and with a touch of excellence. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Education: A Tool to Alleviating Poverty
Education; is a tool to alleviating poverty.
“Education is a powerful driver of development and one of the strongest instruments for reducing poverty, improving health, gender equality, peace, and stability.”
Our project was based on UNAI Goals 1 and 3, which are: addressing poverty through education, and Education for All, ensuring educational opportunities for all regardless of gender, race, religion/ ethnicity.
After deliberating on this, we came up with a project title that will address both goals at the same time during the project we spoke extensively on the project Title, enlighten the students on SDGs, and career choices after secondary school and had a quiz session where all participants were given a certificate.
