Millennium Fellowship Project: Workshops for Youth Development
Our project aimed to be a series of weekly virtual workshops aimed at addressing key targets and indicators within SDG 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. Through focused sessions, we discussed relevant issue areas such as continued education, skills aquisition, and health priotisation post-teenage pregnancy, as well as mental health issues, suicide prevention, and substance abuse and prevention.
Through interactive and engaging virtual workshops, we aimed to raise awareness, facilitate discussions, and provide practical tools for individuals and communities to actively contribute to achieving SDG 3. By focusing on these interconnected issues, we sought to inspire positive action, foster resilience, and contribute to building healthier and more sustainable futures, especially in terms of youth development.
