" To convene and work with like-minded individuals towards a common goal is an opportunity for me to increase eco-consciousness and align my community with the UN SDGs. The work I do as part of the Millennium Fellowship will help me understand the logistics behind implementing community projects. This will improve my collaborative skills and enhance my ability to apply my skills to real-world problems. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Little Upcyclers

My name is Gauri Unnikrishnan. My new changed project is called Project Little Upcyclers. It is a group project in collaboration with another Millennium Fellow named Diza Sharma. Little Upcyclers is a community awareness project led by Millennium Fellows Diza Sharma and Gauri Unnikrishnan which seeks to teach children about reducing waste production through creative reuse. The project aims to teach waste upcycling to children in Asawarpur (a village near the college campus). During the Millennium Fellowship period, Project Little Upcyclers will hold a minimum of three best-out-of-waste activity sessions. During these sessions, the kid will be provided with waste items from their day-to-day life and craft supplies to make useful and creative materials with our guidance, while also learning about the benefits of upcycling used objects instead of immediately disposing of them.
