Millennium Fellowship Project: Disability Inclusion in Sustainability
This project focuses on promoting the inclusion of people with disabilities in the sustainability sector through various initiatives. The current phase emphasizes increasing climate literacy in schools for disabled students. The project successfully conducted a climate literacy session in a school for visually impaired children. Leveraging teaching experience and involvement in a college climate action group helped deliver the session effectively. Moving forward, the project aims to expand its reach and foster even greater inclusivity, ensuring all learners can engage meaningfully with climate education.
