" I'm very excited to be a Millennium Fellow because I truly believe in the power of interdisciplinary collaboration. Creating an environment where different cultures, ideas and visions coexist is a tremendous opportunity to solve problems, but at the same time, is an unique chance to grow as a person and a leader. I'm so grateful to be in this program that will give me the tools and abilities that are needed in order to make positives changes in my community. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: EDUFIN
EDUFIN is an acronym stemming from "educacion financiera", which means finnancial education in spanish. The project's main objective is to tackle the lack of finnancial knowledge in the youth. This will be achieved by creating a web page that contains basic and useful finnancial knowledge by age group. This is for the initial stage of EDUFIN.
For the more long-terms goals of EDUFIN, we plan on expanding the possibilty of including senior citizens/elderly people, as well as giving proposals to the ministry of education to include financial education on the curriculum of school students, as well as spreading the importance of finnancial education to the public.
About the Millennium Fellow
Martina Núñez is a charismatic, empathetic and passionate pharmacy student at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (PUC). She was born in Santiago de Chile, and currently she is studying there in the capital of her country. Thanks to her mother, a teacher at vulnerable schools, Martina has been always interested and involved in social justice. Now that she's older she's also motivated for sustainable development and health care issues, that's why she choose a career that can combine both of those subjects. She's been on the Leadership School of the Engineering department of PUC, she participates in a volunteer group called Jóvenes Sin Fronteras, has worked for the inclusion program (PIANE) at UC, and now she's part of an investigation working as tutor of 5 girls, giving them vocational orientation in the STEM area. Last, but no least, Martina is ambassador of her career so she works at fairs and vocational talks while doing content creation for College CCNN.
