" I look forward to learning and exchanging experiences with my partners from all over the world to learn new perspectives on intercultural processes. Being part of the Millennium Fellowship will allow me to create these types of alliances, as well as improve my skills to easily share and transmit my social cause both in my community and in my school. Being here makes me realize that I am not alone on this path to transform the world into a better place for present and future generations. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Por un Sueño
The objective of "Por un Sueño" is to change the community from the perspective of the children, which in Mexico is important to start with, since there are few spaces for their voice to be heard and taken into account, whether at school or at the government level. For this, we encourage them with workshops on critical thinking and comprehensive human development, always looking for their topics and activities of interest.
