" I believe empowering youth through education and dialogue is the key to building inclusive and sustainable communities. The Millennium Fellowship excites me because it offers a collaborative space to strengthen my leadership and align my initiatives with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. By learning, sharing, and working with other change makers, I hope to amplify my impact and inspire young people to see themselves as active contributors to global progress "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Model United Nations PTE
This project is an academic simulation where students role-play as diplomats representing different countries in United Nations committees, engaging in debates on global issues. The simulation helps participants develop essential skills such as public speaking, negotiation, research, and teamwork, while also providing a deeper understanding of international relations and global policymaking. By immersing students in realistic diplomatic scenarios, the project promotes critical thinking, collaboration, and awareness of worldwide challenges, preparing them for leadership roles and active citizenship.
