Millennium Fellowship Project: Let’s Talk– Youth Voices for a Better Society
Let’s Talk is a youth-led dialogue initiative by Millennium Fellows from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria (Kongo Campus). The project creates a safe space for young people to discuss key social issues aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals — particularly Quality Education (SDG 4), Good Health and Well-being (SDG 3) with emphasis on drug abuse, Gender Equality (SDG 5), No Poverty (SDG 1), and Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions (SDG 16).
Through interactive sessions and school outreaches at the Federal University of Education, Zaria and Sunshine Model Academy, Let’s Talk helps students understand how global goals connect to their daily lives. The project promotes awareness, critical thinking, and social responsibility — empowering young people to become change makers who use dialogue as a tool for building a better, more inclusive society.
