" Interdisciplinary thinking and storytelling drive my work in sustainability and social impact. By blending computer science, business, and filmmaking, I strive to create innovative solutions and narratives that inspire change on both local and global levels. The Millennium Fellowship will provide the collaborative platform I need to refine these skills and amplify my impact. Through this experience, I aim to strengthen my ability to lead projects that address climate change, sustainability, and community resilience, aligning closely with UNAI principles and the SDGs. I am eager to deepen my global perspective and turn ideas into action for meaningful change. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: What They Didn't Teach Us
What They Didn't Teach Us is a documentary that explores the ways in which indigenous knowledge systems (specifically Ryuakyuan) can be lost and reclaimed and how they can represent a valuable perspective in finding solutions for marine conservation. Young change makers that need to get support for their projects as the documentary will be screened at an event we are organizing, hosting experts, leaders, governmental officials and mainly young activists/ passionate people about marine conservation
