" Learning not just to talk about change, but to take action and address what’s wrong, is one of the hardest yet most important things to do. Being a Millennium Fellow means turning your words into meaningful change. Educational inequality has lifelong consequences, and raising awareness about this issue is crucial for making a real impact. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: EduEquality

EduEquality is a joint project between Campus Director Jazmin Velenczei and Fellow Antonia Rieder at Central European University in Vienna, Austria. Given the international environment on our campus, we wanted our project to focus on an issue relevant to international students. Consequently, EduEquality aims to raise awareness of international students' challenges in Austria, targeting Sustainable Development Goal 4, quality education. To achieve this, EduEquality conducts surveys about international students’ experiences, difficulties, and why they decided to study abroad. EduEquality also invites international students to submit art pieces, such as pictures or poems, that portray their international students' experiences. Afterward, such responses will be displayed in our cafeteria on campus anonymously to remove the stigma around discussing academic pressure, mental health issues, homesickness, etc. Lastly, the end-of-project event will be incorporated into the exhibition, where students and staff from campus can come together to discuss such important topics.
