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.

About the Millennium Fellow

Kelsey Clarke is a final year undergraduate student at the University of the Western Cape. She is pursuing her BA degree majoring in Political Studies and Sociology. Kelsey strives to be an active participant in community and social engagement. She believes that understanding key principles that drive societal order and norms are fundamental in attempting to relate to the lived experiences of people through their culture, traditions, and values. Kelsey is rooted in the idea that true justice, governance, and equality without prejudice can only reign if one tries to understand and combat the social challenges that affect a nation. Her project is aimed at helping women to better their socioeconomic conditions through mentorship and education.
