" Being named a Millennium Fellow is an incredible honor. I'm deeply passionate about empowering youth, and this fellowship provides the perfect platform to connect with like-minded individuals who share that vision. The opportunity to learn from experts, collaborate with passionate peers, and develop my skills as a future leader is truly inspiring. Growing up in a small town, I witnessed firsthand the potential that lies dormant within communities, waiting for the right spark to ignite it. This fellowship offers the chance to be that spark, and I'm excited to contribute to a global network dedicated to creating lasting change. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Empowering Youth For Peace Building

As young advocates for peace, we believe that peace is the foundation of everything in the world. When peace is established in a country, justice can be achieved more easily, and strong institutions can function effectively. We recognize that young people are key to building a more just and inclusive society.
EYPC will empower youth through:
- Engaging panel discussions and workshops with youth experts.
- Collaborating on youth-led initiatives that address local challenges.
- Advocating for policies that promote peace and inclusion.
Our goal is to reach 200 individuals, fostering a sense of community ownership and responsibility among young people. By utilizing social media, we aim to connect and engage youth, building a network of change-makers. We are a team of six fellows dedicated to equipping young people with 21st-century skills and insights into global issues, empowering them to become agents of change. Through our efforts, we seek to create a ripple effect that inspires action and drives positive change for peace and harmony.
