" I believe that nurturing critical thinking is essential to breaking cycles of narrow perspectives and opening pathways to progress. The Millennium Fellowship excites me because it offers a space to collaborate with passionate peers, refine my leadership, and create meaningful impact through education. This opportunity will strengthen my efforts to cultivate curiosity, dialogue, and resilience in communities—values I deeply believe can shape a better and more inclusive future "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Minds in Motion
My project is about promoting critical thinking, questioning norms and open discussions in society. I have seen that people often accept information without questioning or evaluating it, which restrains their ability to think about the validity of information before believing, questioning it and then they are unable to accept new perspective or to change. To address this problem i want to introduce a critical thinking course for the children with the help of the NGO i am working with Helping Hands for Helpless People (HHHPO). This course will teach them be skeptical, ask questions re consider their beliefs and open to listening and embracing different perspectives. as General Secretary of Event Management Club in my campus I am also planning to events at my university like debates and interactive sessions to encourage students to question, challenge their ideas and engage in respectful conversations and create a culture where questioning and being skeptic is encouraged and appreciated. I am to make a society that is more intellectual open to discussion and embracing different point of views and to change and who can think deeply.
