" To me, the Millennium Fellowship represents opportunities, empowerment and friendship.

Millennium Fellowship Project: From Me To You
Back in Singapore, I biographed the lives of underrepresented individuals to humanise them to mainstream society. Through my project, From Me To You, I brought this endeavour to Europe. At Sciences Po Paris, campus of Menton, I started a column in a leading student journal Le Zadig (which showcases interdisciplinary artistic work) titled “Stories From the Street” dedicated to biographing the lives of strangers through spontaneous encounters. I decided to focus on the stories of communities who may otherwise be invisible or stigmatised, to humanise these groups of people to the community and encourage connection and empathy. Through doing so, my project is dedicated to advancing SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, and especially by promoting inclusion and peace.
About the Millennium Fellow
Tan En Xi is an undergraduate at Sciences Po (Menton) pursuing a multidisciplinary curriculum with a geopolitical focus on the Middle East and Mediterranean. Back home in Singapore, she explored the pedagogies of empowering vulnerable children, such as those in out-of-home care. A former World Vision intern, she also has a keen interest in international development work, and is particularly interested in how geopolitics intersects with the lives of communities and individuals. Above all, she is driven by the philosophy of seeing a friend in every stranger, and biographs strangers' lives in her own time.
