" Working on improving my knowledge and skills is something that I am always trying to achieve. Being part of the Millennium Fellowship will have this benefit for me, to improve and to develop better projects. I think that that is the main reason I am doing this work, I want to be a better citizen and create a fairer world. I want to share my knowledge and create more tools to others develop their own skills. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Escuela de Invierno: Nuevas Voces Globales
The 'Escuela MONUCH: Nuevas Voces Globales' project's objective is to strengthen development education and global citizenship education through Model UN (MUN) as an educational tool.
During the fellowship we could achieve our goals throughout the execution of the project by incorporating the values, good practices and criteria provided by the programme. We could reach a massive attendance during the deployment of our workshops and activities (more than a 100 students from different parts of Santiago) and we could work with a group of public high school students that met us in the first and second edition of the 'Escuela MONUCH:Nuevas Voces Globales' to expand our vision of this project.
