Millennium Fellowship Project: Mind Fix Initiative (MiFI)
Mind Fix Initiative (MiFI) is a group project championed by Millennium Fellows of the University of Uyo Class of 2023. MiFI addresses issues affecting the education system and it aims at fixing these loopholes from the roots by reaching out to teenagers in public schools, in line with SDG3, SDG4 and SDG5.
Features of the Mind Fix Initiative (MiFI) include: organisation of seminars and outreaches to public schools; reaching out and collaborating with organizations also advocating for inclusive education for all. These engagements will enlighten teenagers on life applicable topics which are not part of the traditional curriculum, but leaning more to a modern curriculum which is child and life-centered. These topics include career development, personal and professional development, and leadership incubation.
Another major focus of the project involves engaging with a cross-section of female students to enlighten them on sex education, menstrual hygiene, career pathways and excellence breaking cultural, societal, mental and self-imposed beliefs and limitations surrounding female education in this region.
We also intend to support students with gifts, school supplies and sanitary pads for female students. We are aiming to reach atleast 300 students across events.
