" I am passionate about challenging systems that create or perpetuate inaccessibility, and I believe true change comes from collaboration with like-minded peers who bring diverse perspectives. The Millennium Fellowship excites me as a space to test bold ideas, and translate them into measurable impact. By working with Fellows around the world, I hope to contribute to building a more accessible and inclusive society aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Beyond the Textbook
This project is a three-session interactive workshop series for high school students in my hometown in Turkey, designed as a pilot to later expand to other cities. It creates a safe, inspiring space—supported by experienced educators and my prior work in these fields—to talk openly about topics that are often silenced by social norms, the education system, and taboos. The sessions focus on: (1) sexual health and relationships, including consent, boundaries, and reliable information; (2) accessibility and inclusion, challenging assumptions about disability and exploring how technology supports blind and visually impaired people; and (3) practical skills for finding opportunities, such as searching effectively online, reaching out to mentors, and navigating scholarships or programs. Together, these sessions aim to build students’ confidence, critical thinking, and ability to advocate for themselves and others.
