" Being a Millennium Fellow is not just a recognition of my past endeavors but an opportunity to drive future change. It aligns with my belief in collective effort and empathetic leadership, providing a platform to enhance ongoing projects and build meaningful partnerships. I will now get to use these provided tools to improve my on-going projects, aiming for a future where positive change in elder care and building bridges between generations and cultures isn't just imagined but actively realized.

Millennium Fellowship Project: Climate Law Summer School
The Climate Law Summer School is a project, started by students at Bucerius
Law School years ago, targeting German speaking Law Students and trying to
help them find their way in climate law in order to help Germany become more
sustainable in the future. The pilot has started this summer and since autumn of
this year, the University has officially taken on the project and will continue the
work for at least three more years. The students will continue to participate in
building the project, by advising the university, helping out in marketing and giving
feedback for the curriculum. The project aims to support SDG 13.
