Millennium Fellowship Project: ReLoved Market
The “Re-Loved Market” offers an innovative way to address several key issues facing Meiji Gakuin University’s student body, including affordability, entrepreneurship, and sustainability. By creating a space where students can collaborate, share resources, and promote eco-friendly products, this project aligns with both the university’s goals and broader sustainability objectives. The Re-loved market is not just a flea market but it also helps Meiji Gakuin students create a platform to showcase their small business and offering eco friendly products to other students to inspire a sustainable future.
With the university support, the event can make a significant positive impact on campus life, while empowering student entrepreneurs and promoting inclusive, sustainable practices.
